And we all made it. Feels good to be home!
Lots to look forward to this summer. See some of you at BTC Prague? nostr:note1gfdnv82t4z8lw8swamam0jl6dmkejyxlfxw6uajn7kcr46au9vasnfffv8
Moving continents is fun! 😬
90% of our belongings in a container, not to be seen for 11 weeks. 
Internally, not hard at all. A small scredriver is usually all you need. Youtube will probably have a how-to video for whatever model you end up getting.
If you decide to go that route and run into any issues/questions, feel free to hit me up!
Yeah there’s different ways of doing it but I agree that if you’re new to this, keeping them separate is going to be the way to go.
I have a sysadmin / DevOps background so I’m more at home with VMs/container. My setup is probablt way over-engineered for what I’m using it for 😁.
For the laptop I got this model and replaced the SSD with a 2TB one: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Display-i7-6600U-802-11AC/dp/B08WT481PQ
+1 for Protectli. I ran both OPNSense and a node on it for some time as virtual machines but admittedly it was on the slow side.
Now I have an old Lenovo Thinkpad i7 for my node and other self-hosted stuff. Cost about $300 and it’s a beast. The battery is like a a built-in UPS 😉
Gotta love being woken up at 4am by the fire alarm going off for no reason.

As many of you know, I've been at Swan Bitcoin for the past 2.5 years.
As Head of R&D, my job has been to basically play with bitcoin stuff: Miniscript, BDK, making Coldcard do cool shit (like hook it up to a CLN and use it as a lightning signer), write Swan's LN backend, t-of-n ECDSA signing, and a bunch of other cool stuff.
If it hasn't been super obvious thus far, Nostr has absolutely captured my imagination and inspiration.
Now it's the time to take a step back, and transition to working on nostr full-time. What am I going to be doing? I'm not sure yet, I have an abundance of ideas that I will be/already am exploring, but now it's the time to double-down and seriously pursue things.
There's a WHOLE lot more to come.
I can't thank @Cory, nostr:npub1fqn4fgzkk8nm2x3wd600n935c9tc7xgg9jhk5dfa0kuvrgvsyv7sgu536l, and the whole Swan crew; it's been an absolute pleasure to work along people who share such a distinctively clear mission of doing what's best for bitcoin and bitcoiners.
LFG, team #bitcoin! 🧡
Nice one and a bold move! Best of luck.
Just packed my BLOCKCLOCK into a moving box. Two more weeks in 🇦🇺. Things are starting to feel real.
Can’t wait for European summer and especially BTC Prague!
Revisiting some code I wrote 9 months ago. Resisting the urge to rewrite the entire thing is not easy 😬.
It’s true too
That was so painful to watch 😂
Our shipping container doesn’t arrive for another couple of months. Plenty of time to shitpost until unpacking lol.
Can’t wait for the stress of packing and organising to be over so I can return to shitposting on the purple app!
I doubt, 20 hours in the air and a bunch of unfamiliar places before flights 😬
Airline just confirmed this guy’s transport to Europe next month but he doesn’t know it yet 😹
Almost 10 years in Australia is coming to an end and it’s finally starting to feel real. Loads of mixed emotions.
