Fucken hell, I don't like paying $21 for a $15 chicken
The best thing about The #Bitcoin Bart is people can stop saying Uptober - it's fucking annoying.
You already have Ubuntu installed, so all you need to do is type this into terminal, and away you go ...
curl https://parmanode.com/install.sh | sh
Did you sun your balls today?
Great question, and the answer is "No, sort of"...
There is Parmanode and ParmanodL.
Parmanode is the node software which can be installed on mac or Linux (can be a Pi).
ParmanodL is a computer configured to run Parmanode.
Parmanode OS is Raspberyy Pi OS (Debian Linux) modified to be a ParmanodL. It'll work on a Pi 64 bit at this stage, but with slight adjustments, it'll be ready for regular PCs too - next version.
Have you played with nostr:npub1ltt9gry09lf2z6396rvzmk2a8wkh3yx5xhgkjzzg5znh62yr53rs0hk97y Parmanode?
Parmanode.com
It can. A Parmanode drive is interchangeable. But not between Mac and linux, although, I could make that option but doubt there'd be demand
ParmanodL is out.
Easy AF #Bitcoin node for Pi4.
It's software that creates a Pi4 image using a desktop computer, and flashes it all in one go. Runs on Mac or Linux.
Copy/Paste SINGLE command
Insert microSD into your Mac/Linux when prompted
Put the microSD into a PI and turn it on.
Double click icon to run (no finding IP addresses or typing SSH required).
Once accessing the Pi, type 'menu'.
I've been feverishly coding, debugging, testing, and drinking max coffee for days, and it's finally ready.
The code is easy to read, so please do.

Some advantages...
You only type 1 command to install.
No Balena etcher or other flashing software required
No pgp verification is required (it's all from written text)
There is one download (official Raspberry Pi OS) which is hashed for the user.
No SSH commands are required - use the icon made on the desktop. Double-click to access the ParmanodL terminal.
Easy starting Parmanode - type "menu"
"Parmanode" is pre-installed on the ParmanodL and the internal drive configuration is done.
Next update, going to make the installation apps with parmanode run automatically on the background. Ie non interactive. Given that it's for a Pi, much less unknowns exist, so I'll go ahead and make all the necessarily choices and have everything installed.
Systemd to run selected parmanode scripts I think will be the cleanest way.
Recipe there.
Tastes like pea, lamb, and dill 😜
Ask and ye shall receive
STATEMENT REGARDING MY TWITTER/X ACCOUNT
Today, my Twitter/X account was permanently banned and my appeal to have it overturned was denied.
There was no warning issued, no 2 week suspension, no option to delete the offending tweet. Just straight permanent deplatform.
My offending tweet?
"Bring back the guillotine."
I quote tweeted this sentence to the video presented here on 3rd September.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1698249077061009496
Someone reported the tweet and my account was irretrievably shut down on the basis of violating rules against violent speech.
The vaccines (and vaccine mandates) caused so much harm to people all over the world. Many lost their livelihoods, incomes, businesses, marriages, families, confidence and will to live. Some lost their good health and worse, some lost their lives. The coercion to get vaccinated was immense, and to be told "it was a choice" is a kick to the teeth. Today, many regret having taken the vaccine.
My crime? I dared open up the conversation on how best to hold decision makers accountable for their decisions.
Meanwhile, other Twitter handles are able to post these and keep their accounts. The inconsistencies and arbitrary nature of these suspensions is ashtonishing.
Having said that, I fully accept the consequences of my actions.
On a brighter, more productive note, I'm proud to have educated thousands on my YouTube channel (Ministry of Nodes) on how to hold their own keys and run their own Bitcoin node such that these arbitrary decisions can't be made with people's money. I'm convinced it will get worse, and that we need Bitcoin more than ever.
As part of my educational content, I also sell plug & play Bitcoin Nodeboxes to those who want to quickly get up and running without the steep learning curve that goes behind it. Have a watch of how easy it can be.

I'm offering 10% off to those who purchase a Nodebox with the discount code GUILLOTINE for a limited time.

Thanks for reading, nostriches.
Should have anticipated this though.
Next bull market, I'm out, and this is how I'll exit. I think that timing is appropriate. Maybe yours is better?
It's not Mint's fault!
Official Docker installation script is buggy, and the ubuntu based OS looks for a debian file.
I fixed it - you can install docker using parmanode, then go about using docker however you want.
It has come to pass, the installation guide for #Parmanode is ready (easy AF #Bitcoin node for desktop computers):
parmanode.com/install
It's impossible for a human to act irrationally.
Every intentional action is for a reason, rational to the human itself.
It's only "irrational" from the perspective of someone else.
See Mises, Human Action.
Got cheese ?
