20k 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!

20k 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.

40k 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?

2.2k Could you give us some beginners tips for trying OpenClaw.
In a FOSS way, what’s a safe way to play with this without losing the farm.
I was thinking of spinning it up on an old Raspberry Pi 4 I’m not using.
How do you think that would work?
I’d like to play around with this but aren’t quite ready to unleash it on my main computers. Thanks.

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.

20k 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!

4.6k 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!

Id love for you guys to open with your sweet sweet music like TWIB does, then say "a quick ad to pay the bills" then come back. Feel free to put in as many ads you need to pay said bills 😇.

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.

10k 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?

5.4k 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.

Hearing Saylor talking about selling is a bit like hearing Peter Shiff wanting to buy bitcoin. I guess anything is possible in this hilarious timeline we live in. Great show as always ❤️
-
I saw some people mention that with Bitcoin we can have a "Star Trek future" instead of a "Star Wars future". As the biggest Star Trek fan I know of, what are some episodes, series, or movies I should watch to understand what that Star Trek post scarcity utopia, and do you think this is a good analogy for Bitcoin?

Hi Chris, Longtime listener, first time booster. Hopefully this gets through. The Microstrategy/Saylor deviation from the never-sell strategy, whether to service debt or facilitate future strategic purchases doesn't strike me as a rash decision in the slightest; especially given the overheated state of markets. Bessent's laughable 'transitory' / 'temporary aberrations' characterization of the Iran War's impact that completely ignores lagging supply chain shocks just points to the inevitable broader market retracement back to reality. If Bitcoin's historic mimicry of US index nosedives is anything to go by, then why not sell and DCA lower? After all, the ability to firesale BTC into a less corruptible market to tap its value 24/7, 365 is a feature that makes it great money. All I'm saying is that if the 394 Billion $ divested cash pile that Berkshire Hathaway is currently sitting on means anything, (be fearful when others are greedy), then perhaps Saylor's recent shift could simply be a well timed adaptation. Only time will tell. Thanks for sharing all the great signal and for everything that you do. The show is really a highlight of the week!

Where do you find the number of nodes on the network? There was a great site called Bitnodes which used to have lots of network info like this but it has recently shut down. Can you explain the difference between a “listening “ node and a non listening node. If the node total includes non listening nodes it’s much higher, so I wanted to find out the difference. Thanks.
-
Nope. ODELL coined “SUITCOINERS” https://podconf.xyz/

Saylor's change of heart makes sense but is annoying- maybe the success of STRC has changed his perspective or "strategy"- end the Fed now!

A journey to get enough sats on here - River for the win as well as Bitcoin ATM's that charge $9 usd for the conversion 🤦. 12533 I hope you can get the Monte Python Holy Hand Grenade clip for this number 🤪. ? Can you compare the price of sats with usd mill ($0.001) and Gold's smallest unit (atoms) - or maybe the microgram price as the current system is even more crazy than the Bitcoin number? This way people can see how inflated the united states dollar has become and the real power of the sat 🤯
