"don't need a centralized DNS"
To be clear, Onion addresses are centralized by the fact that the Tor consensus is centralized.
So long as you buy two different SSD brands, use a filesystem like btrfs that'll catch errors, and actually monitor the machine, you can probably get away with pretty much any cheap off brand SSDs.
…and even if you are buying expensive name brand SSDs, getting two different brands is still good advice.
Mixing JSON and cryptographic data structures is a terrible idea. Nostr should have chosen a binary serialization format, same as Bitcoin and OpenTimestamps. Parsing JSON is much more complex than you think it is; parsing binary is much simpler.

There's no requirement for math as a whole to be logically consistent. Nor is there any requirement for all things in math to be provable.
Anyway, you can't argue that infinities don't exist by making an argument about the _effect_ of their existence. All you can do is argue that they can't exist in your constrained subset of math; they still exist in less constrained types of math.
Nostr's underlying serialization format is a really stupid thing to use for a cryptographic system. I won't be surprised if this has something to do with the bug.
“creating a false illusion of what Bitcoin is”
Bitcoin can be more than one thing at once. It's both a way to protect a fortune as well as a way to easily send and receive a few sats. And it's ok if you don't use the technology in the same way for both needs.
You certainly should not, and if the spec works that way, the spec is wrong. Don't display anything that isn't hashed or otherwise verified.
As per the article, the paradox supposes that “It is necessarily impossible to complete an infinite set of tasks.”
In physical space, that may be impossible. Modern physics simply does not know.
In mathematical logic, it's certainly possible to have a system where an infinite set of tasks is accomplished. That's just a matter of definitions; math can conjure up all kinds of things.
Why do you think calculating sums of infinite series "falls apart"? In lots of cases that's perfectly well defined, even I would argue intuitive.
Math is not limited to the study of physical things, so obviously it doesn't need to limit itself to the finite. Nothing wrong with infinities there.
This note is a reminder that infinite things do not exist. Programmers inherently know this already. Math and physics have some soul searching to do…

I wouldn't make that assumption.
You know, even with quantum mechanics waves act like waves in most respects. It's taking energy in and out of them that's quantized.
Similarly, electrons are as small as we can measure them; we've yet to find a lower bound on their size and as far as we can tell they act as ideal point charges.
Maybe there are no infinities. Maybe there are. We don't know yet.
Not just 🤡, that's straight up 🧛.

People like Velvet Blue would make more money I'd zaps didn't dox the sender.

RPi was always a terrible idea for LN nodes. They are toy quality hardware. If you're lucky you get one that is reliable. For a lot of people it had not been reliable.

See here for an example of *much* better value. Especially now with the recession many dead companies are liquidating fleets of powerful used hardware. Much much faster and more reliable than RPi.
You want dual redundant disks to protect the critical LN database. With SSD's at an all time low price now it's affordable to do this properly. You need to pick particular hardware capable of using TWO INTERNAL DISKS. External USB is far less reliable.

Here is a community containing advice on this topic.
Related: if you put your LN node on a VPS, make sure it's actually running raid. Lots of VPS providers will rent you unreliable non-raid disk space.
What exactly is the nginx config that fixes this?
