Come on Adam, leave your hatred of liberals, and politics in general, to other shows. This is a podcast boardroom, not a political podcast.

Imho we have let the crypto skeptics get inside our heads. I think as a community we should lean into the fact that boost are powered by bitcoin. As a small business, I’m grateful to have support in a hard asset. It’s helped me fight inflation and keep my head above water. Bitcoin is an intelligence test, and I don’t need everyone in the world listening. I want a great audience, not the biggest audience possible. These are things we should lean into as a podcasting community trying to offer an alternative to mainstream crap. Go Podcasting!

Just wanted to say I really appreciate the work you guys do behind the scenes for the us Podcasters out here! Also +1 to the idea of putting an on-chain Address in the funding tag. I’ve definitely heard from a few listeners that would support via onchain, because that’s where they already have their stats.

Let’s get Jeff on to the show! Question wise, @ChrisLAS mentioned an AirTag alternative… what options are there in this regard? Also, is there an easy way to see this alternative’s location on a map?

Excited for the conversation that took place on sessions recently; Simon Dixon vs. Jeff Booth. Excellent signal, I am always confused why Simon does not get more exposure. I would like to see him on Citadel & TFTC. It was a welcome white pill, a masterclass from Jeff. We are winning. Marty, can u get Doomberg on TFTC?

Time traveller boost for Texas. I’m randomnly working through the back catalogue to learn things as they come up in my setup. Just learnt the difference between Snap and Flatpaks in eps 532, 501 and 499. It’s evergreen content, thanks for the work you put into creating these and the passion in the delivery.

have a great time at Linux Fest. Do you have any suggestions or old episodes to help new Linux users decide on distros as a daily driver? I’m not a total Linux newbie, have been running a couple of Ubuntu servers and Linux Mint on a laptop for over a year now, but want to set up a Linux desktop as a daily driver now. I’m looking at Pop OS for now, any suggestions appreciated. Thanks from New Zealand!

Happy to help test / transition things at Jupiter Broadcasting as app’s transition off the Alby API. After listening today, my biggest concern would be losing the info in the TLV record. And how to handle the transition in our value tags.

You asked how we like deep dives like this… I really enjoyed this. I wouldn’t want it every episode, but once a month or quarter would be great. This particular episode was well done and I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work!

Belated boost for this, and other episodes. So much of what Dash talked about resonated with me. Running multiple nodes, disappointment in Bitcoiners and looking for answers somewhere else. Thanks for the thought provoking conversations Cody.

Boost for the road! I’d like to hear your opinion on Open Source LLMs. If an LLM is Open Source, how much can we know about the security and telemetry of that model? If the source code is visible and we can audit it, can we be reassured of what’s being logged or used for training, or is it still a black box? I’m having a debate with a friend at the moment, he says that LLMs are black boxes, even if they are Open Source. What say you?

Time traveller boost, I’m going back over episodes about File systems. Who knew that you could customize the file system in your OS. Wow! Could you explain the difference between corporate disros (like Ubuntu & PopOS) and community distros. Pros and cons, trade offs, that kind of thing. Thanks.

I’ve finally set up a Linux desktop and am slowly in the process of making it my daily driver. I’m running Mint and hve installed Librewolf browser but can you recommend any other high value services or apps for daily use? Like notes, email, backups and file storage as a starter. Thanks.

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 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.

    Part 2: Do you see any opportunities in the Bitcoin education space through TWIB? Memberships and courses, educational content? And are there any ways to “open source” any of this via V4V community contributions or something like that? I see why you’ve done with Linux Unplugged and wonder if it’s possible to do a TWIB version of this. Anyway, some thoughts to ponder. Your show drops on Thursday in my part of the world, and I always look forward to “TWIB Thursdays” now.

    Hey Chris It was interesting to hear you say that you look at each of your shows as businesses. Tell us more about the vision for TWIB. Do you see it following the same path as LUP, with V4V, memberships and bonus content, but no paid ads? Are there other unique things you’re considering for TWIB? TBC in the next boost.

    Our buddy Luke Groman did a interesting interview with Joe Burnett. He equated bitcoin scarcity with the scarcity of his lakehouse property, he paid off his mortgage with the sale proceeds. Overall, he sounded defensive. He certainly went over and above to explain away his bitcoin sale.

    Another great episode and Thank you so much for the Spin!!! 🤩 I’d been in the Bitcoin space through my husband but got actively involved in 2023 with music and the v4v model. Bitcoin and v4v are changing the game for artists and it’s been exciting to be apart of and watch it grow!
