did you get the job 😆
We had some reservations when we decided to spend a few weeks travelling to #Seoul. However, the city completely surprised us - in a positive way. The people are very open-minded, helpful and anything but aloof. We often felt reminded of #Latin-America, where people approached us on the street or on public transport to help us or just to get to know us.
Unfortunately, South Korea is a high-tax country and is out of the question for our further planning. However, we will visit it again and again once we have established our bases around the world.
In March 2025 we will set up the first base in #Europe (outside the EU) and 2 years later the next one will be in Latin America - probably in Argentina.
I will write another small article about our considerations.
For now, we are enjoying our stay in other parts of South Korea until our journey takes us to the next country in #Asia.
Thanks for your constructive and positive feedback! Nostr is a fine parallel universe with very nice, friendly and helpful people. (published with my own virtual Umbrel hosted nostrudel) 🙌
Yeah, I've to convice my wife that it's a good idea to have several computers and cables flying around - but I got your point and also think, that it is definitely worth it
I ended up with a Start9 after listening to this episode: https://fountain.fm/episode/2xVRHjCXDNgpwLEcBflA
If I remember correctly - Matt gave several reasons why umbrel is not the way to go. Beware they use adult language.
Thanks for the advice. I'll listen to the podcast this evening!
Thanks, nostr:npub1y8q62fgx5dpaztp5czjrfa7xek38dfsfaeg6pgp9x0lt7ryylvaqshcjy8 . I am now convinced to separate the money from the entertainment (even if Bitcoin, or rather the fiat system, also entertains me very well)
Thanks, nostr:npub147wy3decmxy3vs9u4nse80ha7nkcydt7zdge8lc9gk8ddglh4t6qudjwdr
Currently I'm traveling for another 6 months and using this time to try out the (now 3) options as virtual machines.
Hmmm ... sounds interesting. Thanks nostr:npub1fn6l7w0ax7mp787xvdj7t2uct7yqwhhlz3jyvj8hjr5m35e5sylsrv58f9 for bringing a third into the game 😉 I'll definately have a look at #Proxmox
Good point.
I'm using Linux for 25 years now and would be able to start some docker containers on my server on my own - but I must admit, the shiny and easy to use UI just "convinced" me 😄
Yep, you're absolutely right, that having a fancy UI shoud not be the reason to mix money and entertainment together. I may separate the bitcoin/lightning part from the "fun" part.

#Start9 or #Umbrel?
Playing with the idea of setting up a home server to host my own BTC node, open my own lightning channel, host some movies. Custom hardware (AMD, 16 core, 96GB Ram, 4TB HD) ... no crazy stuff
What would be the better choice? Start9 or Umbrel? They both look good, Umbrel seems to have more out of the box apps on their marketplace.
Any advice?
Thank you!
May I help you? What exactly are you looking for/planning?
got it, configured it, started it
Time to say #goodbye to #seoul. We really enjoyed the weeks in thie part of #Korea and definately will return soon (tm)
Every day up to 10 times an alert message on every mobile device. #southkorea
Also heard it in the last podcast episode of einundzwanzig (nostr talk). The only thing I remember is zap.store (which I'm using - and which is great!)
Just double checked it .... and YEP, you're right 👍
