Note to self, don't use the auto suggestions for names..... sorry Brent. As for why truckers have migrated to GMRS, the stated reason is better audio quality being FM rather than CB's AM, antennas generally come pre-tuned, and slightly better range. The unstated reason, since the late 70's four wheelers were getting on the CB and messing things up for the drivers. So they switched to get away from them and the reasons stated above. Besides a license is just $35 and there's no test.

Lads, I think you missed some boosts last episode. At least mine and m00ninite's show up in Fountain but seemed to have missed your bot. The headset sounds good to me! For the TUI challenge, I think sixel should be allowed, since it's something that real DEC terminals did. Otherwise I vote no for external graphics. Also, what about another bonus challenge to do social media from the TUI. toot for Mastodon is great, for example

How does Nebula compare to Tailscale for the purpose of isolating a server running OpenClaw (or Hermes) in a network? Ive built a plan to isolate a small server inside my LAN so that I can experiment with agents, one item on the plan was creating a Tailnet with only the devices I want the agent to connect to. Can I do that with Nebula? How would that differ from using Tailscale? Thanks!

Bret, if you plan on doing any traveling with the van, and why have it if you're not, then I'd suggest a GMRS radio. Most truckers have switched from CB to GMRS and while you need a license to transmit, you can listen without a license. Also you have to build in a meshtastic node because.... reasons.

I'm simultaneously sick to death of hearing about AI, and enjoying LUP's AI coverage. You all are on a very, very short list of exceptions, because you strike a good balance. Both in terms of the amount of coverage, but also in being neither cheerleaders nor thought-free haters. I'm pretty much aligned with Brent, and like he clearly is, I'm enjoying hearing Chris and Wes's AI adventures

I enjoy the AI subject matter and the way you cover it. I’m fairly new to the Linux and FOSS world and now I have to weave AI into it all, so I appreciate the way you bring it into the Linux ecosystem, give examples of practical use cases and also potential hooks to be aware of. AI is here to stay and everyone needs to understand how to use it, so leep the content coming, that’s my vote.

Regarding multikernels Maybe you have a specifically optimized for gaming kernel run on a few cores so that all the gaming tasks have better performance. Wait, if there's a different kernel running on each core does that mean that things like kernel anticheat won't be able to see other tasks running elsewhere? So do you negate the privacy implications of kernel level anti cheats that way? Hmmmm

I would like to see a deep dive on Alby Hub. A peek under the hood and some explanation of what the "user friendly" UI is hiding from a node operator. Maybe include some discussion on opening channels and the "why?" behind the limited number of LSPs offered through the Alby Hub UI. How does AlbyHub impact decentralization of the network? Discussion of Cloud vs. self-hosted AlbyHub instances.

    No video for me. I prefer audio because it allows me to think critically about what is being said. Video requires more sensory input which takes note brain power. Plus I listen in during the commute the most anyway so video is not feasible anyway

    Australia getting between its largest trading partner and its primary leverage tool against its greatest adversary. What could go wrong! And the agreement was a handshake? Who's left holding the bag if China pivots... The least you cobbers could do is check out a band of Aussie plebs stacking sats on Fountain before the warships arrive. Checkout Social Hijack. Not mad at you, Chris. Keep up the great work!

    Our buddy Andrew knows all about bitcoin. He's the heel, and Joe is the babyface for our wrestling fans out there. A video on Primal and zap.stream, youtube and rumble would be great!

    No video necessary- there's already plenty of quality content here to digest

    +1 for audio only. Thanks for the value.
  • 4,567 via Fountain
    I love video for technical tutorials but prefer audio for news and interviews. How about some detailed video content on a technical topic, perhaps available as bonus content? Video content would involve more effort for you, so putting that effort towards evergreen technical content would mean it sticks around longer. Thanks for the in depth content and the research you put into every show. (+1 vote for the Alby hub deep dive with Wes)

    Another great episode! As a truck driver, audio is king for me but I'm sure a video format would be nice especially for the charts/clips. Keep up the good work sir.
  • 1,000 via Fountain
    The Podfather would be disappointed in the suggestion of adding video. Shame shame. No video for me, personally
  • 5,000 via Fountain
    I listen to podcast while I'm doing other things. Zero interest in video.
  • 30,000 via Fountain
    Just set up my Knots node on my true as server. What can you tell me about privacy best practices with running a node? I've had a node before on umbrel but gave up after a hard drive failure. Luckily nothing was lost. That is for the insight. No need for video here, always just listen to the show while at work. Some graphs maybe on nostr might be valuable tho.
  • 3,333 via Fountain
    I vote for an audio format podcast. Video is HUGE data-wise. I download my queue of podcast content daily to the local storage on my #GrapheneOS phone. In this usage model I can stream content without a data connection, I never worry about storage, and my phone can stay in the cab of my truck while I walk around with bluetooth headphones enjoying TWIB and working at the same time! Thanks for producing the best podcast I've heard on the topic of Bitcoin and for doing it in a format focused on audio delivery.
  • 5,000 via Fountain
    Probably a silly question, but if you run a node, say on a Lenovo running windows 11, do you have to keep said node running all the time? Thanks for the value!
  • 3,333 via Fountain
    Re video, it's great when there are visuals that help convey information. But as soon as people do that the audio version suffers and I tend to switch to the video version only. Is there some way to stream sats while watching the link to the video feed?
  • 2,048 via Fountain
    I've been enjoying the balance of the show recently, keep up the good work!
  • 4,000 via Fountain
    I have ADHD and use podcasts and audiobooks to help me focus at work, video just distracts me and so I never use it. That being said if others would like video I'd have no issue with it so long as you remain an audio first show. I've given up on a few long time listens due to the hosts moving to a video first mindset and making the audio a waste of time to listen to, I'd hate to see that happen to TWIB. tl;dr: Video is a fine addition, as long as you keep an audio first mindset.
  • 178 via Fountain
    Hi Chrislas i can't keep up with video, it's concentration heavy and distracting, clips would be more interesting maybe at ticktock, shorts length. More as promo or sharing. Thank you for all you do, just my take.

    No need for video. I feel the need for video mostly comes from the want/need to put something on YouTube. Audio is more useful and when you listen and you pick up more details in how things are said.
  • 3,000 via Fountain
    I prefer audio, I’m never watching podcasts. But I have definitely clicked on those short video clips. So if you do video, be sure to make some shorts out of them.
