Today in one picture, I’ll try again tomorrow.

Seems like I’m already running behind

Couldn’t lineage also be kinda forked over ? But in practice I guess you correct, also not a single client supports any of these kinds of this practices. Everybody here still in raw dog mode 😆

Only probable solution seems to be hold a master key and use derived keys for apps, clients would have to remap a bit and mix in some Nip-05 that also kinda maybe a tiny petit solves a bit here.

First snow ❄️⛄️ of the year

GM, bought some DDR5, send thoughts and prayers 🙏 … like for real the pricing gradient for a stick of 32GB compared to a 48GB is just to make you start crying.

A new level of engineering problem

Sounds like just the right amount of gummies 🫡😂

It is always technically the first post of the year ?

Must have been an expensive party

Oh no carpet in the bathroom ? 😮

Happy new year folks 🥳 hope it’ll be a good one ✌️

Haha 😆 old fashioned manual labour is what we’re al about here

Tomorrow we start with a clean GM slate 💪

Maybe clip ends to soon or it yeeted out of frame 🖼️

They say it is healthy but you might end up going blind 😆

You know… family style 😂

Less than two months ago, the Chain Duel Lightning node was hacked and all funds were stolen.

Suddenly, everything felt fragile.

I didn’t shut everything down, but I didn’t move forward either. I left the node empty for a while, unsure how to proceed, unsure whether starting again was responsible or reckless.

What lingered was hesitation.

That fear didn’t come from losing belief in Bitcoin or Lightning. It came from realizing how many attack surfaces existed beyond my understanding. How much I had trusted that “it will probably be fine”.

Running infrastructure exposes your blind spots. Firewalls you don’t fully understand. Services you expose because tutorials say so. Defaults you accept because questioning them takes time and effort. When something goes wrong, it becomes clear how many assumptions were hiding underneath.

Looking back, the issue wasn’t only lack of experience.

It was also complacency.

I knew some best practices. I knew certain things should be done. But I delayed them. I relied on convenience. I assumed problems were unlikely, or at least unlikely to happen to me. The abstractions made it easy to believe I was in control.

The hack broke that illusion.

For a while, I didn’t know how to proceed. Running a new node felt dangerous. Not running felt like giving up. That tension sat directly against my principles.

So I decided to start over again.

Not confidently. Not fearlessly. Just deliberately.

This time, I’m trying to reduce what I don’t understand. I removed layers I couldn’t reason about. No Umbrel. No third-party app ecosystem. Fewer moving parts, fewer assumptions.

I’m making an effort where before I postponed. SSH keys instead of passwords. Restrictive firewall instead of permissive defaults. VPN instead of exposed services.

It’s been slow and humbling. I read, realize I don’t understand enough, then read again. The more I learn, the more aware I become of how limited my understanding is. Uncomfortable, but also clarifying.

Bitcoin Core is now running from the command line.

Initial Block Download is in progress. It feels appropriate. You verify. You don’t skip steps. Trust has to be rebuilt from first principles. It’s not impressive or fast. It’s quiet and demanding.

Lightning will come afterwards.

Readiness isn’t a prerequisite. Awareness is. Care. Paying attention.

Getting hacked didn’t make me stronger.

It made me more honest about my limits.

Running a node again isn’t a victory or a return.

It’s a decision to keep learning, to take responsibility more seriously than before, and to resist the temptation of comfort over understanding.

I’m still uneasy.

But I choose to stay engaged, to learn in public, and to do my best.

The hero we deserve 🤘

Out of all the questions bitcoin raises this one is still my favourite lowball one that I’ve asked it in person to many bitcoiners. Mostly because I think some of what you answer reflects on how you see the future.

How much bitcoin should an individual hold?

The 2 most common answers:

- As much as possible.

- One per head.

Do you have a different answer? #asknostr

GM sir ✌️

I have many questions about this product.

Nice I’ve been Linux pilling the fam. since windows 11 opened that opportunity. Nothing but love so far for these laptops, just hope that the modularity keeps them a bit longer in service.

Also took some inspiration from your plants vs zombies build … like we can buffer and show a nice animation while we gather the data from the relays and do some simple compute functionality 🫶 works great for these micro projects
