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!

I recently landed a new job, definitely a step up in my short career as a social science researcher. And honestly, this isn't the first time being a Linux nerd and self-hoster has given me an edge over the competition. That skillset is in no small part thanks to listening to you guys. I'm forever grateful. For real. Long live Jupiter Broadcasting!

Gents! Been a while. Bitwarden, self host, been amazing for a couple of years. Linux router, just moved to NixOS as my router from OPNsense a couple of weeks ago. Using technitium for DHCP and DNS on the same box. Just started playing with Hermes, been using OpenCode for a couple of months. What a time we live in! Oh under powered system, still running a Pentium II 266 as my win 2003 server for my retro gaming PCs when having a good old LAN with mates! Cheers from Aus.

If **you** can see a tweet (or any other "private" content on the web) you can make a perfect web-archive of it. And then you can share it peer to peer in an uncensorable manner, removing all the internet's walled gardens - including paywalled ones. When someone else replays that archive in their browser, they're seeing the private page exactly as you did. The available tools for doing this are a bit clunky at the moment, but my team has built 95% of a frictionless user experience for doing just this. We'll be done with it within the year (or we'll be out of business). And Nostr provides all the rest of the infrastructure needed to make a proper network out of this. Extremely exciting!

Maybe I’ll make it out to pubkey someday. Most of my free time is spent smoking blunts and working out. Last time I was in Brooklyn I was chasing a mother fucker around a Construction site with a shovel trying to kill him. That’s when I decided fuck NYC it was right before Covid which the communist like rules just sealed the deal for me to never cross the GW bridge ever again. I said I would never go to NYC ever again, not even for a wedding or a funeral and so far I’ve held to my word.

    Hey Chris, Regarding the 4 year cycle, (to me) it would be great to have a couple of more years to stack cheaper sats. Bitcoin pumping is fun but it also means fewer sats for the stackers. Thank you for the value

    Boosting from Fountain via my AlbyHub. Love love love it, this was the number one issue I had with Fountain. Expect more boosts from me soon!

    I also have a serious question for you. I recently listened to an interview with the Samurai wallet dev who has been sentenced to 5 years prison for writing open source software. In the interview he talked about how his constitutional rights were not respected and how hostile the judge was. They had no evidence of an actual crime being committed, so the charges are for “conspiracy” to commit crimes. Basically, as they were “aware” that their software could be used for illegal purposes, they’re guilty of conspiring to commit that crime. This is pretty scary, does this mean any open source dev could be guilty of a similar crime? With your background in FOSS and Linux, I’d like to hear what you think about this? https://fountain.fm/episode/GgxUJOIxjJ96e0YFuVO2 Here’s the interview for anyone interested. Also a V4V pod with no ads.

    Yes, my nephew did complete his sats quest. I made it easy for him by loading up a Lightning wallet and telling him about a bar where he lives which accepts sats. Told him he has to take some friends and shout them a drink with the Sats. And offered some additional cold storage sats as a “reward” once the quest was completed. Incentives at work :)

    4 year cycle is no longer relevant and I think this is a positive for Bitcoin. The excessive selling by the whales is starting to make me think there is something incoming that we don't know about- regulatory or otherwise- maybe regarding custody or something

    Boosting from Fountain with my Alby hub connected via Nostur connect! Re tax implications for spends on the CoinJar Mastercard setup in Australia, they report to the tax office directly or you can easily download transaction reports for your accountant. Also got my node setup dialled in now with clearnet and Tor working smooth and BTC Explorer to monitor it. I’ll get my act together and put the compose file on GitHub and report back. It gets easier every day: stack sats.

    sats for holidays: back in the paper wallet days i printed some out for nieces and nephews as bitcoin stocking stuffers. since then i've swept them to hardware cold wallets, all the while sliding more sats in every year. each year i help their parents get a little closer to legit self-custody without my involvement. started with me as the custodian.. end goal being a self sovereign extended family (with a nice starter stack). bitcoin uncle club!

    vinney here (the "v" in "v cavallo" 😆) i have a fully self-hosted lightning address at my own domain - zap@lnbits.vinneycavallo.com - that i achieve with lnbits on a public vps and a tunnel to an umbrel node on my LAN. it is a pain in the ass but it **does** work and makes me happy. the externally-reachable vps is the key. dm me on nostr if you want more details!

    Economics is a political issue. Arguably THE MAIN political issue. Treating it as a technical problem separated from politics is an ideological strategy deployed with particular strength since the 1980s. You can find a great academic account of this fact in "Thinking like an economist" by Elizabeth Popp Berman. Granted, it's bigger than a partisan issue, especially when the only two alternatives are "capitalism is more important than democracy" vs "they are equally important" like in the US (and most of the West, honestly). So no need to apologise when you bring up the broader political context to discuss economic news. Keep it up!

    It’s not one or the other. Bitcoin halving or the 4 year cycle will impact supply and therefore will impact price. Liquidity is the dominant driver of price right now in my opinion. If people or businesses don’t have cash to invest, then prices will remain low. Thanks for the value.

    The four year cycle is solidly showing its perfectly in fast. Why do u keep insisting otherwise? Didn’t hear a single argument besides “cause the fed cut rates”. The cycle is in tact

    Fresh TWiB: I try to make the case: why the Fed had to cut rates, and why it’s going to kill the four year cycle for Bitcoin. Plus my thoughts on what I’m calling baby-QE.
