I've been running an Umbrel server for a couple of weeks. So far so good. There's another mini PC coming tomorrow. After getting the Windows 10 Pro key off of it, Ubuntu 24.04 server is getting installed on it. That will be the server learning, play, and experimental server.

Being white in rural Japan gets me a lot of stares. Mostly from kids and old people. Kids almost always say “Herro” because that’s how they pronounce it. I ignore them. I used to reply but then it got tiring. Sometimes I’ll reply with a full sentence about something totally random and they look extremely puzzled 😂 I always get some fun out of that.

I used to be weirded out a little but now I don’t pay any attention. I speak English and I’m loud and I don’t care.

Sometimes the old people even run up to me while pointing at me and saying “foreigner”. I can’t tell if they are excited or disgusted 😂 I just pretend like they don’t exist and pay no attention. They usually walk away awkwardly.

Then there’s the kid who whispers about me to their parent. And the parent hushes them and explains it’s not polite to talk about people who are right there. I nod in agreement 😂. Occasionally I’ll say hello in Japanese and they get quiet because they realize I know what they’re saying 🤣

The kids are the best. I pick up my kid from school and large groups of kids stare at me and talk about me. They marvel at how my son and I have conversations in English. Occasionally some run up and practice their English on me.

There are also adults who speak some English. But that’s about it. They can say a sentence but it’s impossible to hold a conversation with them. I usually reply with a word or two and end it there. Even if they try to carry on, the moment I open my mouth to form a full sentence they are extremely lost and confused.

The joys of rural Japan 😆

In-group preference is the natural human condition. There are important evolutionary reasons for it. Try not to judge them too harshly. You are after all a guest in their "home" and probably an uninvited guest in the eyes of many if not most.

That's much easier said than done. I'm having trouble figuring Lightning out. I've been looking up YT tutorials, but they're somewhat dated. I've got some sats sitting on the main-chain, but not quite sure how to fund a channel and connect a Lightning wallet to my Lightning node. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

He also spat in the dust and rubbed the mud in someone's eyes to cure blindness. I don't recommend putting mud in your eyes to help poor eyesight.

#introductions GM! New to Nostr. So new in fact that while I have a relay installed on my Umbrel home server, my BTC node is still downloading. Then there's the Lightning node after that. I've long been involved in dissident politics. Trying to bring some of my friends over as well. Enjoying my time here so far.

Welp, I only have a 1 TB nvme drive on my Umbrel server. I'm going to see how far I get putting a BTC node and then (hopefully) a Lightning node.

I have my political differences with Dr. Chaffee, but he's definitely right about what's the proper human diet. The thing is the bazaar market model is analogous to the biological evolutionary model. He ought to be a btc and nostr supporter. I think he'll come to embrace it in time.

I can only speak about the curiosity of other Americans since my daily interactions really only includes other Americans. Probably only five to ten percent are sufficiently curious about matters beyond what is advantageous to continuing or increasing their comfort. Their comfort innervates their curiosity.

Nostr is the open-sourcing of speech on a global scale.

Justice is an adversarial process. If White people are not allowed to advocate for our own interests and have representatives who'll advocate for our interests then we will not receive justice.

If the good guys have won every war and social struggle, why is everything turning to shit?

Trying to setup Tailscale for Umbrel on an atomic Linux desktop is rather difficult, for me at least.
