Why BIP-110 Failed

Put some Mac and cheese on this one for me, plz! By the way, have you guys seen https://github.com/anotherhadi/nixy? It appears to be a mostly pre-configured Hyprland config. I haven’t personally tried it yet, but Chris has mentioned wanting something like this in the past. I am running my own Hyprland config but it's far from perfect. I’m looking to try out Nixy soon.

This zip code where I started listening. I’m a full-blow Nix junkie because of this show. Everything in my house is slowly becoming a NixOS box. I love the technical content. I’d happily do a survey if you guys asked. I run my own Nextcloud, Nostr relay, and nix-bitcoin node. First boost from my own lightning node! All route thru a cheap Linode (thanks for that $100 code =P). My first episode was the Shufflecake episode where the audience was invited to SSH in and find a secret. I love the audience “interactive” content. I was also as the Olympia meet up and the suicide linux challenge was insanely fun. Keep up the amazing work!

Hey guys! First LUP boost and first boost funded with my own node! I’m a member and I love all of the shows. I’m SO down for Jefftastic meet up. This is a zipcode boost. Wes and his map will be able to tell you, I wouldn’t have too far to travel, so I’m happy to help if there’s anything I can do. I don’t have any meshtastic nodes up and running at this moment, but I have a lot stuff left over from my experiments. Mostly Heltecs and RAK. The antennas my Heltec’s came with were trash. After improving the antenna, my distances went way up. I have 2 large antennas and have permission to permenantly affix a node on the roof of my work.

Also, a while back you guys were talking about network equipment for the studio in the post show. I’m not a big fan of going Ubiquiti for everything. I think you guys might find it to be restrictive and expensive. It’s pretty cost-effective to go with pfSense or opnsense on the firewall, spin up the unifi controller software on a VM, and then you manage Unifi APs with their nice UI without buying any cloud gateway devices, saving you hundreds. I have less experience with the cameras, so someone else will have to chime in about how those could be used in a more “tinkerer-friendly” way. Wes, during that same post show conversation you brought up potentially having problems using pfSense or opnsense on your home (fiber) network. I used to live quite close to you and sent you some specific info about how to do it, including a link to a pfSense guide specific the ISP. The guide works for opnsense too. It’s nothing too crazy, you just have to set up PPPoE and deal with the management VLAN. If you spoof the MAC address of the ISP router, it’ll just work and you don’t have to let them know you changed anything.

Headphone boost! As someone who has boosted in about thoroughly enjoying highly technical content, I also very much enjoyed the gaming content. Maybe it’s the ADD, but I personally think the wide variety is a feature, and keeps the show feeling fresh. Regarding the Saturday live stream, I absolutely would listen to that, if I wasn’t already planning to attending in-person! See ya’ll at what will be my first LFNW! P.S. Am I supposed to sign up for talks somewhere? I marked several “favorites” in the web app, but that’s all I’ve done so far.

I've heard some rumblings about the R36S and Max in the Love2D community. It would be very cool to see the R36 gain a little traction as a target platform for amateur game developers.

Hi Chris! Sir Lurksalot here! You, Adam Curry & Dave Jones, and others inspred me to launch my own V4V-Only podcast, Love Down Babylon. 1st episode out now! A multifaceted adventure through personal healing, technology & platforms, big ideas, world problems, and hope for our future. ❤️‍🔥 Here is a "leet satoshi" boost as thanks for letting me SATSvertise my show!

I thought herdr was pretty nice, but I LOVE zellij, and really missed some of its features when using herdr, but then I found zj-radar. It’s extremely similar to herdr, but it’s just a zellij plugin. I set up the alias “zerdr” which launches zellij straight into the radar profile. I honestly haven’t launched herdr once, since I got it installed. Highly recommend! Great ep, btw! ❤️

+1 for Vikunja! I just set this up a few weeks ago, including an MCP server, and hooked up my “personal assistant” agent to it. It can display the same data as todo lists, kanban, Gantt charts, etc. I really like it! If you guys try it, I’d love to hear how you end up using it.

I almost tried Nebula, but I actually just converted all my stuff from WireGuard to self-hosted Netbird. If you guys had consulted with me first, I’d have probably chosen nebula, but at least it will be interesting to compare the two. =P With WireGuard, I kept ending up in situations where DNS alone couldn’t quite do everything I needed. Netbird redirects DNS queries to itself, which allows it to respond for your private network, or forward them to the local DNS provider, and that means I can refer to my stuff by name AND it doesn’t break the software on my work PC. What a time to be alive! I really like it so far! Much better than handling as many WireGuard keys as I was. Does nebula do something similar to netbird with DNS?

I have had really good luck with N100 boards. I have 2 that run 24/7. One is my firewall and the other is my NAS. Chris and Wes, you have both recently mentioned you’re thinking about new network gear. I’ve been running opnsense on a barebones, fanless n100 firewall with 4 2.5G NICs from Aliexpress for years, and I don’t really have any reason to complain. It’s been super stable and reliable for me. Wes, I have successfully used one to spoof the MAC address of and replace CenturyLink’s router without having to tell them, when I lived in Seattle. You just need to configure the WAN port to handle the management VLAN (201) and PPPoE. I built the NAS myself with an N100 board I found on sale. It came with 6 SATA ports and I added more with a PCI adapter. I also really like that I can dedicate a full 2.5G NIC to each of my VLANs. It’s in a Jonsbo NAS case with front loading disks running NixOS (btw). All in all, I really like these little n100 boards on projects that I want to treat like an appliance.

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.

Happy LinuxFest! It was great seeing you guys! In fact, I’m writing this while sitting directly in front of you :)

Hey guys! Linuxfest was a blast, and getting to hang out IRL was easily some of the most fun I’ve had in a while. Btw, I saw tomorrow’s episode is about CopyFail, which I spent some time tinkering with. PJ convinced me to send over what I’ve done. So, Chris/Wes, check matrix DMs if y’all are interested. ❤️

I’ve been using Hyprland on NixOS for years at this point, and imo, it’s a match made in heaven. Hyprland has really come a long way since the early days and has had first-class NixOS support the whole time I’ve been using it. It’s really cool to see more people appreciating all the work being done over there, they really deserve the attention. I feel like it made my computers fun and exciting again.

Chris, I think you nailed it with the point about how early we are on everything. We aren’t wrong, the rest of the world is just slow 😁 At least, that’s what I’m going to tell myself. You know what they say, stay humble and stack sats, you lovely bunch of trendsetters. 🫡

To everyone out there having a hard time right now, hang in there. Your families need you.

I really enjoyed the EBPF episode and wouldn’t mind more like it. I would LOVE to do a TUI challenge. There are so many good TUI applications written in rust these days. Another variant could be a “no mouse” challenge. The idea is: You have one week to design your perfect keyboard-driven tiling desktop/WM setup, and then the following week you have to use it on your main PC. Points are awarded based on keeb-friendliness and use of terminal/TUI apps. If you have to break down and use a mouse, say 3 times over the course of the week, the punishment is you have you adjust your .bashrc (or equivalent) to pipe all terminal output through lolcat for a month. 😈

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!

So excited about LIT support in Castamatic, great work!

P.S. +1 for Expeditionary Force! Excellent book series! Craig Alanson is a machine. Apparently, there are now 7 or 8 books that I haven't read just from the past few years. I've always loved the audiobook reader too. Lately, I've been listening to mostly podcasts while making my way through various bitcoin books, but I think it's about time to do some catching up on ExFor. P.P.S. I couldn’t help myself. I think it's literally impossible for me to mention "bitcoin" and "book" in the same sentence without mentioning Broken Money by Lyn Alden. If you're looking to better understand money and bitcoin, I really can't recommend this one enough. I love good book recommendations. Would love for it to be a semi-regular thing, even if it’s only in the member version.

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.

Killer value to the community this week in taking time to talk patiently with Rob at Libsyn. Good work! Really been enjoying the board meetings recently. Happy belated birthday Podfather 🍻

Sending a little love from the new Fountain update! 🫡

PSA: There is NO mobile Sparrow wallet. If you see a mobile wallet with Sparrow branding it is a SCAM! Thanks for the value. Stay safe out there.

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.

It's not about breaking the wallets. It's about litigious grifting. By making a claim on "dormant" bitcoin in the New York, the claimant, a Wyoming LLC, sets up two scenarios: 1. If Quantum "breaks" a wallet previously awarded, the Wyoming LLC will use their legal title to sue for possession/compensation (or be paid to go away). 2. Ahead of Quantum being a real threat, the Wyoming LLC can sell itself with the legal title to the bitcoin addresses as part of its book value.

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?

Belated boost for the last few episodes. Thanks for the useful and thought provoking content. Where else can I find Mishima Yukio, Taiwan and Bitcoin Policy in NZ on the same stream!

Long time listener, first time Booster! Love it!

Make sure to mention repeatedly, for the benefit of the Southern District of New York Attorney General, that your joke about availability of code RHR for a discount on Strait-of-Hormuz Bitcoin shipping insurance premiums payable to Iran was a parody or completely a joke and not to be taken seriously.

Axelrod says “cheers on the microdays micrododosing product. Im excited to hear about the product and will check that company out. Thanks! Keep it coming

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.

Axelrod[00] I enjoy the book chapter by chapter like a good series that comes out in weekly increments but why the one year delay? Is the book finished and your releasing this way or is it a work in progress ? Proof of ink.

Thanks for the value

Appreciation boost! Sometimes you just feel the need!
