Just a Bitcoin Lizard trying to gobble up some sats.

To put it quite simply, the problems with the world today that #Bitcoin is clearly the solution to are so blatantly obvious that if you haven't done your homework and bought some bitcoin, I don’t have the time to try to convince you, sorry.

1. Install Ventoy

2. Move ISO onto USB

That's all!

Nice! I didn't know about this project. Is Ventoy basically blancher etcher except open source?

Arch

Been running Arch as my daily driver since 2014 and very little trouble ever. The fear mongering around rolling distros is greatly exagerated. You also never have to worry about major version upgrades going sideways.

You are good to go with CLN.

CLN > LND

I'm looking for a CLN channel parther to try a dual funded channel with if you are interested.

I've been thinking about Ross Ulbricht a lot recently following the SBF sentencing. I've decided that it was time to make a small donation to #FreeRoss. Many of us have been squeezed by inflation but we are almost certainly in a better spot than Ross. This man has done so much to further #Bitcoin adoption and we all owe him a debt of gratitude. If you can, throw him some sats:

https://freeross.org/donate/

Bonus: The site accepts donation via PayNym so I was able to send to Ross anonymously at +FreeRoss

There are so many shady things about Roger but you really don't have to look past this famous incident. He told everyone Mt. Gox was solvent and presumably used the other customers as exit liquidity and got his coins out of of there.

One thing to keep in mind. If you do install the system successfully, when it boots you just get a command prompt. Arch doesn't make any choices for you. You have to install your choice of GUI and useland tools on your own.

If you have version 5.6.1-2 you are good

You are not good if you have version 5.6.0-1 or 5.6.1-1

Older version 5.4.6 is also good

This for many Linux distros, not just Arch

Glad there is another #Archlinux user on Nostr.

Some smarter people than myself took a deeper look and it appears the malicious code doesn't end up in the Arch binary due to differences in the build system of Fedora and Arch. None the less, everyone should still upgrade.

I'm not a developer but it seems far to risky. I think efforts should be put into enhancing monetary use cases with forks that enhance vaults and Lightning.

If Udi promotes anything that is an obvious red flag.

My latest talk with macro analyst Luke Gromen is now up! Thank you to nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z for introducing me to Luke’s fantastic research.

We cover:

• Massive fiscal deficits keeping sovereign debt bubble afloat

• Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's controlled, meticulous weakening of the dollar

• Bank of Japan increasing interest rates and global implications

• 10% CPI...and UBI??

• Will U.S. be forced to cut entitlements and defense?

• Why Luke is so bullish on #Bitcoin over the next 12 months

• The truth about the U.S. vs. China

Great interview Nat! Luke is 🔥as always.

Good luck getting back up and running.
