Oh God, I hope nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmnyqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskueq555fk2 can help me.

Trying to open a channel from my embedded PND Zeus wallet to the LND node on my server. I have 321K sats on chain and 362K sats in lightning.

I don't want a trusted channel, just a normal one. When I try to add a channel, Zeus tells me:

"Not enough witness outputs to create funding transaction, need 0.00100000 BTC only have 0 BTC available"

Can you help me understand this error? I couldn't find anything about it on docs.zeusln.app.

I don't understand #Alby Hub at all. I'm running the desktop version and it:

1. Asked me for a password (for what?)

2. Never asked me for a back end (e.g. LND)

3. Doesn't have any setting yo set the back end

4. Says I can open a channel (without using my backend?)

This just doesn't seem to match what the readme says about supporting LND.

I feel like what is really needed is a popular place where people can find out about open source hardware.

OSWHA's database is probably the closest I've seen.

People sell things on sites like Tindie (which also has closed source stuff mixed in) Things like hackernews/hackaday are great for getting the word out, but that's not a database that you can just navigate. Crowdsupply is similar in that it tells people about active crowdfunding campaigns, but browsing isn't organized and doesn't include old projects. GitHub has mostly software results.

If we could make it easy to find these things, then we MIGHT have fewer duplication of efforts, better quality, it wouldn't be limited top being used by techy people.

Projects who reward the contributors (including those who contribute no code but do things like answer questions for people, write docs, etc!) seem like they should rise to the top.

Oh snaps, Amazon+GCP is down to only hosting 50% of the lightning network. IIRC that's a step in the right direction.

I am making FreeCAD work harder than I ever have in my life

Not sure on the guide, but please consider including the cost of rent in there.

Woah, another Fossify Calendar user on#nostr? I am finding my people! Followed.

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy seeing what others like and dislike about GrapheneOS (or any 3rd party Android ROM).

I intentionally set up my phone fresh every time I transition from one phone to the next. It feels good to have a nice clean start. I keep my files, contacts, and calendars in a private Nextcloud server, so there isn't much data shuffling for me.

Pretty much all the apps I use are in the stock F-Droid repos, but there are a handful of exceptions. It takes me probably about an hour to go from one phone to the next. I'm willing to do that much work every five years to start with a clean slate.

I remember when I used to add up the cost of components in an #OpenSource #hardwsre project and compare them to the cost of the assembled hardware and think "Gee, that seems like a lot of markup!"

Now that I've seen how much money goes into #development, purely in parts alone, I have a very different perspective.

Now I see the costs, and the value of the creator's time. Plus I know that only a small handful of devices are likely top ever be sold because, well lets face it: open source hardware creators are rarely both good at and interested in running #marketing campaigns.

My current project is a high quality #LoRa #solar node, which I'm going to use to run #meshtastic (and possibly run #reticulum on the other node). But this issue of cost applies to #Signet, the active USB->PS/2 HID adapter, and all the other #OpenHardware projects I've been involved in.

If I could earn even just an average of $15/hr developing open source hardware (electronics and CAD models), I would make so much cool shit! And the first step of every project would be the same: try to find some project that has already done this (or something close) so I can contribute to their project! I don't want to splinter the community's efforts, nor reinvent the wheel.

Local repo. Running a local apt mirror (Debian) is on my list, but it's pretty low priority. Using the official mirrors works fine and that's a lot of disk space, even if just limiting it to x86_64.

I was going to take a shot at it, but then I reread your post and saw that it said meme coins and not altcoins. Oh what the heck, I'll try anyway!

First, memecoins are not meant to have compete with financial instruments. If you measure them this way, they will be disappointing, just like if you measured bitcoin based on its effects on Jupiter, you'd be disappointed.

The real value of memecoins is the fun in collecting them and trading them with friends. For the older generation, think of them similar to pogs. They didn't have a huge intrinsic value, but they did have sentimental value.

So it is really about the joy they bring. It's also a celebration of the complete absurdity of putting absolutely everything on a blockchain. So go get 'em, and perhaps even make your own!

How'd I do?

I ran into an interesting error the other day. It was a checksum mismatch when trying to get updates from an apt repo. The file size was also different than expected.

The error message from apt helpfully suggested that this might be because the server was in the middle of an rsync.

I tried it again and sure enough, it worked fine. It's one of those situations that I never ran into or thought of, but it makes sense in retrospect.

It makes me think about my apt repo & whether I can avoid this.

Looking good! A couple questions and a request:

1. Is this for A4, US Letter size, both or something else?

2. How do you imagine people distributing these?

Please put this on blast when it's finalized. I don't wasn't to miss it.

Could you imagine getting $100m dollars to replicate an #OpenSource model?

Look, I know all too well there's training data to collect, try to filter out the garbage (if getting it from untrusted sources), and training to do, but still... I couldn't even imagine how to spend that quantity of money on a project like this

It doesn't take that many people, and at some point it doesn't make sense to keep piling on more hardware.
