Your Umbrel is running low on storage?

Just recording a step-by-step tutorial on migrating your Umbrel node without risking your Lightning channels, blockchain sync, or apps!

Stay tuned!

I’ve used Highlighter which comes with Primal a couple of times. If you need any help, hit me up. Would be more than happy to help!

I'm really grateful that bookstr.xyz exists!

I loved Goodreads. Now that I've become a nostrich, I needed this shit.

If the powers that be had foreseen the revolutionary impact of asymmetric cryptography and its growing ease of use (such as PGP, Bitcoin, and Nostr), they never would've opened the internet to the public.

This is the carnivore cure 🥩

If you can reach out to her, feel free to share my quick onboarding tutorial with her:

To be honest, I don’t know because I haven’t played around with BitBox.

But this might help: find the fingerprint of the original wallet you create and note it down. (Your Bitbox must have it, even if it does not, Sparrow shows the fingerprint to you once imported.)

Then add the passphrase through the mechanism you just described which seems as clunky as fuck to be honest 😂

Then check the fingerprint of the new wallet to see if it has changed or not. The next time you turn on the device, check which fingerprint is shown. Whichever fingerprint it is, you can easily tell which wallet is loading by default.

Feel free to give me a call if you have any problem doing this check. Would be more than happy to help ☺️

Yeah man. It’s challenging. That’s the reason why I haven’t made the jump yet - but it’s coming soon! All Bitcoin and Nostr education.

"Being self-employed for 10 years, I think that was always an issue to have enough funds to finance your life if you have some bad months, a bad year, or something. Thanks to saving now mainly in Bitcoin, there's now just so much more safety. It's like a safety net for me.” — Philipp Alexander

Oh, I see. I remember it more clearly now :))

Who’s she? Is she on Nostr yet?

Share with your normie friends!

Best would be to download it using the web-based version of nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg and then share the video on the legacy social media, such as WhatsApp and Telegram.

It’s good to be prepared though. Things will definitely get that bad.

Stay paranoid, my friends 🧡💜

Taking about the price is retarted xD

I just searched the fly 😂😂😂

Why though? 😂😂😂

And yes, the power of Vince Gilligan is that the characters are so real and so believable. They are not perfect heros.

Watching this. Minute 24 and they haven’t fucked the story up yet. Hope it’s handled skillfully till the end.

Will keep you posted!

Fair point. My best sci-fi of all time is RoboCop which is from the 20th century. I liked Judge Dredd too. Star Wars (though I didn't watch it as a kid and watched it first about 6 years ago. (It's a complicated story why I didn't get to watch it as a kid). There are several other good sci-fi that come to my mind from that era, but none of the ones from after the Y2K are to my taste, or at least I cannot think of any at the moment.

We’ve started rewatching Breaking Bad (2008), our first revisit since watching it nearly a decade ago.

Fun fact: Breaking Bad was actually the very first TV series I ever watched in full—every single episode. And I’m not talking about those that aired on TV; I mean the ones I binged through streaming services.

I liked it. I liked it a lot. But my favorite characters, without question, were Saul Goodman and Mike Ehrmantraut. I first got interested in Better Call Saul simply because Saul’s name was in the title—then I found out Mike was a main character there too, which sealed the deal.

You might find this surprising, but I really didn’t like Walter White. Not as a character, and not as a person in real life either. (In one of his interviews, he mentioned that his favorite scene was when he shot Mike—and since I adore Mike, that really stung.)

Now that I’m rewatching the show, I’m starting to appreciate it on a deeper level. Walter still probably won’t be my favorite character, and Mike and Saul will remain my heroes, but I can now fully admire the sheer skill of the writers and creators. Every moment, every detail of the storytelling, feels meticulously crafted—and I appreciate every second of it.

Yeah, that's a good point xD

Finished Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) the other night! 🎬

It's been a fun ride, and here are my thoughts about the series:

We started watching Star Trek: TNG on @`JesterHodl`'s recommendation. He pointed out that the characters take some time to develop and that if you rewatch it later, the first few episodes feel a bit jarring and out of sync with the rest.

Fair point. Initially, it's clear that the creators were still figuring out who these characters were and what traits they should possess.

Overall, it’s an imaginative, ambitious sci-fi series that has absolutely stood the test of time — and deservedly so. True, some of its “predictions” and tech ideas are wild and might break the laws of physics, but some actually came true. (And today’s AI is arguably more accurate than Commander Data — who, by the way, is my favorite character. I’m gonna dress up as him for the next Halloween! 🎃)

They nailed certain tech forecasts impressively well, and some of their outrageous ideas might still come true — they feel really plausible. Other times, their “breakthroughs” make you wonder: could that even happen? And before you know it, you’re down a rabbit hole researching the physics behind it and spending hours talking with AI about it. Even if you discover it’s just pure imagination, the mental trip is worth it.

On the other extreme end, there are things they couldn't foresee. Every device in the show has physical buttons, while today we just tap icons on sleek, screen-only devices. At times, characters are reading paperback books—even now, physical books are becoming more of a thing of the past. I wouldn’t call it a shortcoming—many sci-fi worlds age that way. We humans don't have a crystal ball anyway.

Most episodes are trippy as fuck! 🍄 Honestly, some of them would probably only make full sense if you’ve had a religious experience with certain sacred plants, fungi, or molecules (you know exactly what I mean).

⚠️ This paragraph contains some mild spoilers!

There’s this character, Q, that my girl and I both fucking hated. We couldn't stand his smug face or his voice. And he’s there from episode one! But in the final episode, there’s an unexpected and mind-bending twist. Turns out Q might have been a kind of cosmic “trip sitter” all along. It actually makes you rethink your hatred for him. ⚠️

This got me wondering—have any of the creators of Star Trek tried psychedelics? Well, Gene Roddenberry himself was a military veteran and largely kept a conservative public image. He did not speak openly about psychedelics, though he did discuss drug legalization and addiction as mental health issues.

But some others involved in sci-fi have been more candid—like writer Norman Spinrad, who openly believes consciousness-altering drugs have shaped much of creative writing.

So while Star Trek maintained a measured, science-based tone, at least some of the creative minds behind sci-fi have had first-hand psychedelic insights.

One more thing that speaks to how good the show is: sci-fi usually isn’t my girlfriend’s cup of tea, and I normally watch it in my “me time”. But she absolutely loved this series — sometimes I think she was even more excited than I was to see the next episode. That’s a win in my book.

Overall score: Solid 7/10 from me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Did you onboard him on Nostr? Wanna give bro a follow.

Bookmarked it so I remember the name.

Speaking of which, my video about the necessity of Nostr signers will be published tomorrow!

Stay tuned!

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Bitcoin doesn’t rise non-stop. It never has. It never will.And that’s exactly why it’s real.

That day will come, my friend 🫡

This is the advice I have taken to the heart since the covid lockdowns.

I refused to listen to the podcasts or read the books of the covid hysterics and have refused to listen to cowards hoping that in the midst of their dirt, they might have some tiny pieces of gold.

There are degrees to it and every point you described is a step closer towards the maxi end of the spectrum.

Beefcoin for the win!

It was food for me; when I realized fat is good for you and really felt it by trying it out. That was the first domino piece.

Run Umbrel on Your Old Laptop/PC!

Your past determines your future.

But the good news is that now is the past of your future.

Iris is truly my web-based nostr platform of choice. Especially after I activated NCW on it.

Time to unfollow NVK 🤮

He went out of his way to buy domains similar to SeedSigner’s just to put up this “warning”?

That’s so fucking petty.
