A killer surf company, needessentials, linked up with my band and has been using our music in their incredible surf videos for the last year or so. This is the most recent one. Dig in! It's a serious vibe and some incredible surfing and excellent music all round. They showcase the lifestyle and stories of the surfers as much as the surfing. They're doing some excellent work!

Exactly. I'm all for lightning but it has a long way to go. A couple years ago I had a number of channels and would use it for my BTCPay server linked to my website for business and personal but it always felt hard to manage and I wasn't even routing anything but my own payments. Always felt like it could just go up in smoke any minute. Unfortunate if progress didn't continue though. Thought about reopening some but the amount I would be comfortable risking makes it difficult to manage the channels.

I always wonder as price increases if even the large node runners get nervous about have large amounts on lightning. It's come a long way but it still feels risky and like the chance of loss is a factor to take into account.

Who had "midair maggot incident" on their 2024 punch card?

Paul Newman and Robert Redford classic. Influenced a lot of on con/heist movies that came afterwards. Less of a heist movie the more I think about it and more long con but its a great one.

The Sting will always be one of my favorites. A little old and dated somewhat but still just so good.

Trying to get this verification thing figured out with my own domain. Seems to have worked on iOS app but not showing on the browser. Maybe I need to wait for cache to resolve? Can anyone confirm this? #nostr #nostrverification

What are you heading to? Seems like they all have major tradeoffs recently...

Banks are such scams. Need to have accounts to run a business easily. Multiple accounts are usually needed for complex businesses. They're loaning out my money and making money off of it while it sits there but I can't touch all of it without instantly being charged a fee for dropping below a certain threshold for a single day...

more cope than one knows what to do with...

As someone who works with raw metals all the time, no raw metal stays perfect and stainless steel is fussy as hell to keep clean especially when exposed to the elements. Some people just believe any marketing 🤫

Spot on. I've benefitted greatly from Instagram over the last ten + years for my business and music and have a nice following but lately I'm getting awfully nervous they're rug pulling us artists to try and compete with the nonsense of Tik-Tok. I'm just waiting for the day that they force me to give up and walk away. I'm lucky to not have to rely on it whatsoever already though so wouldn't be too sad if/when it happens.

Excellent! Thanks so much! Been liking what I see from start9 so definitely leaning towards them. This is really helpful. Going to check your hardware out today 🙌🏼

my brother joined BlueSky and told me its "only lefties cross posting twitter screenshots". gotta stop that nonsense from happening here 🤣

listen to them laugh about taking advantage of us ignorant peons...jokes on them when the masses figure out we don't actually need them.

Welcome to the year of the dragon! Finished up this banjo at the end of last year just in time. It's an undescribable feeling creating something that will outlive you for generations...
