121 Excellent sermon from my brother QW here 🫂 he’s a good steward of Nostr. Break the wedge. Unite rather than divide. Stop fighting. When it becomes “us against them” it’s fear and fear is a liar. Appreciate QW so much.

121 Yeah! Rigly / Upendo #BlockParty will start early if we hit 45 PH so LFG!

2.2k I am really interested in bcachefs, but I think it’s perfectly acceptable for the maintainers to kick it if the maintainer is a jerk. I’ve worked with really smart jerks and it just isn’t worth it. To be fair, I also don’t agree with how Linus treats people, but no one has the power to change Linus, they do have the power to not perpetuate it though. I hope they work it out.

4k MadTV was superior to SNL, lower my expectations is a nice nostalgia hit, just wish it didn't signify low boost amounts.

4k "I'm assuming Home Assistant here"
Insert Picard facepalm here....I only left out the important detail. Yep I'm switching to HA.
Update on mom using Mint, she's trying it on a live USB and so far is positive about it, she likes that it looks and feels like Win7. She's still not ready to take the plunge, but I'm on the lookout for one of those Win10 laptops people are getting rid of when moving to Win11 and then I'll just do a full install so she can try the full experience before making the switch... she needs a new laptop anyway, two netbirds with one gemstone/S.

4k 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.

4k 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.

4k Dave, as a former business owner one hard lesson I had to learn was, trying to please everyone is a path to ruin. Sometimes you just have to be thick skinned, take ownership of a decision and tell the people who don't like it that they can either accept it or leave. They'll get mad, they'll threaten to leave, and 9 times out of 10 they'll quietly come back, and if they don't come back, then they weren't right for the vision of the project.
Look after yourself first brother.

Plus one for having the price stats at the end, it gives the data for those who want it and it's out of the way for those like me who aren't interested. Thanks for the breakdown of the Satoshi "documentary", I'm in the camp that prefers to not know who Satoshi is so I wasn't interested in watching it but your breakdown made me decide to never even give it a chance.
-
Thanks for watching the stupid documentary so I don't have to. I honestly don't think I would have watched it myself, because the whole point is to forget Satoshi. The only reason someone would want to figure out who he was is to try and discredit Bitcoin. Thank you so much for the great shows!

I get why you’re salty… and I’m sure this Visa thing adds to the saltiness

I’m surprisingly interested by your “I’m salty” opening… bring it on!

Great job picking it apart 🫡🧡💜
