Buy the Invasion

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.

No message. Just felt wrong missing a week to BOOST.

I noticed that the “Activate Linux” project has a NixOS flake: https://github.com/MrGlockenspiel/activate-linux

Wanna change perception of Linux? Get younger people, or influencers of younger people, to talk openly about non-niche topics and how they personally **prefer** using Linux to do them.

As of September 24, there’s an open PR for nextcloud30 … I’m just itching for some of the new features.

We’ve been using a Zero Water pitcher for a long time and am really happy with it Chris.

Let’s get Jeff on to the show! Question wise, @npub1awyzkzakt… 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?

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.

Regarding keeping fake boosts… I see zaprite has an api and can send webhooks… what if you fire a webhook on payment that triggers boostcli or similar for the same amount. That would get the funds from zaprite into the splits and the regular boosting ecosystem. This is assuming that @npub1getal6ykt… Hub doesn’t have an api you could use to send the boost instead. Also, I bet the code that allows for boosting from podcastindex.org could be reused as the boost sender after the webhook is received… Lastly, I bet you could poll the wallet that’s receiving from zaprite and use that to track what payments have been forwarded as boosts…

Test for Wes: A little coin for the headsets 🎧🎙️Regarding the gaming episode, I am interested in the state of thi ngs and experiences, but had no interest in listeni ng to y'all play. The non-gameplay bits were good and will be helpful when I'm chatting with others or thinking about what I can setup for my kiddo.

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.

Nevermind. Found the answer to my question. The key is the ‘spread’ that an exchange uses. Paying 2 fees with Strike or Cash could end up being cheaper than 1 fee from an exchange that doesn’t force me to use their custodial wallet.

🫡

Just got my hardware wallet. Is there a way to purchase bitcoin/sats directly to the device. If I purchase with Strike/Cash/etc., then transfer to the hardware wallet address, won’t I pay 2 transfer fees? If there’s a way to avoid one of those fees, I’d love to know.

Whatever happened to using IPFS for your distributed storage needs? Oh, and don’t forget to talk about your switch away from the AppleTV.

Testing out the fountain nostr integration. Not sure what's supposed to happen, but I'm doin it!

🎯 help you bring ideas into reality That's one thing I've struggled with, I've got lots of good ideas but I need assistance and assistants 🤭 to help me move forward to completion

What I would like to see more Nostr apps doing is hiding the fact that they are Nostr apps. Just obscure it away so normal people think it's a normal app, and not a power app. And let the features and usability make them a fan without them realizing it

Custom scripts for everybody! 🥳🥳

Ya there's definitely nothing wrong with waiting. 6 to 12 months from now it will be much more capable, and in order of magnitude easier to set up

I've been setting up mine to automatically log conversations. I've been feeding it all of my notes and business ideas. Everything gets automatically cataloged into obsidian. That obsidian vault is included in the QMD database for vector memory search. My agents have excellent short and long-term memory with minimal token usage. To set it up right, you really need to spend quite a while setting it up - or buy the files from somewhere. I've been setting up going on 3 weeks. It has already made me more productive. Soon my calendar will be synchronized. Client leads with automatically be filtered and surfaced front and center to me. The more you use something like this, the more you will start to understand how you can compound little abilities on top of each other. One cron job can trigger a cascade of events and work. I have used simplistic bots for many years. I used to have one that would pay my child support for me. That ran with no issues for about 5 years before they updated the site and broke my bot. I used to use another one for automatically populating descriptions and titles for an online store. At that time, I was replacing an employee with a simple bot. These things have been providing real value for people, for longer than people assume. Again it all comes down to how you use it and what you're doing with it. 6 to 12 months from now the landscape will be much different. Right now it's very hard to set up correctly and easy to burn money if you don't know what you're doing. But soon a lot of these things will be ironed out and much more normal people will be able to get higher value from it. On top of that, every time the models get better or cheaper, that means you can also upgrade your system to be smarter or cheaper.

I don't know who's spending $1,000 but you doing it wrong. I spent $15 in the past 3 weeks with more usage than I've ever had. It all depends on the model. But If they are also using it to do scraping and analyzing, it's not exactly simple work. And if you compare that to a human being doing the same work - that $1,000 is probably much cheaper than a human spending the time manually scraping and analyzing. I think I saw a graph recently saying that Claude opus outputs - in one prompt - between 5 and 15 hours of human work. Obviously that's not on every prompt, but that's pretty substantial even if it's expensive at a 30 cent API call, then maybe it's an extremely good deal. It's all very relative to what you're using it for and what your accomplishing in the end. Some of us have been playing with AI models for years already so we already know how to prompt better and we get better results. You've got to keep playing with different models - talk to them in different ways - and be explicit, try to remove ambiguity. And if you're having problems writing prompts - ask one AI to write a prompt for you to give to the other.. and that will often increase your chance of a one shot successful prompt

#Kvaesitso launcher is really nice! As an iOS user who dabbles with #LineageOS, it feels way more natural and much less annoying.

Thanks for the Kvaesitso recommendation! Finally, a launcher that pulls the keyboard up immediately, rather than forcing you to shift your hand up to touch the search bar, then shifting back down so you can type. Android phones are friggin massive, and each time I have to adjust my grip, it's another chance to drop the phone. Apple has had this search flow figured out since the 4th or 5th iPhone, so it's a little wild to me that this isn't the default behavior on AOSP. Is Google Android and Samsung Android also this backwards?

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.

Regarding your question, I love UniFi.

Chris - stay nostalgic and put your BlueVault disks in here: https://amzn.to/45BWovK :)

Backblaze B2 of backups is the way, imo.

Always love seeing a new This Week in Bitcoin in my feed. #Bitcoin #podcasts

Let me do a little invalid and socially unacceptable boosting to a podcast I like. Sorry that you have to be the recipient of such antisocial behavior.

Banger 🧨🧨 Pure signal

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.

Need part 2, great conversation 🧨

There are still good women out there... Just snagged one... Alas I did not get a girlfriend this cycle... Moved her straight to wifey

Congrats! 🎉🔥🧡

Cool to hear you're expanding on Wavlake and Nostr 🔥

Love this series, keep up the great work!🚀🧨

More! ❤️‍🔥🧨🧨

The North Sea nexus. Fuck the Brits, butt hurt bastards

I will make a correction - bitchat was mentioned. I overheard somebody asking somebody else if they want to try it. It sounded like a group of two or three people were going to try it at Lake Satoshi

Rev.Hodl da man, we need more people like him 🧨🧨🧨

Karl is the real Rev 😏

Core smelling shitty

Really great conversation!

🎄🧡🔥🍻🌟

I thought that sounded like AI. Not bad though!

It sounds cool and it looks pretty, but I don't understand how this takes supply and demand into effect

"Fractional reserve is just banking" this seems like it translates to: If you need someone else to hold your Bitcoin for you, you risk rehypothication. Doesn't bitcoins qualities allow me to not need an external bank?

Parabens NVK!

👏🧡

🎉🎉🎉

I heard Steve mention John on Security Now too. I had to lol

Great show guys

This Week in Bitcoin has become one of the main podcasts I never miss. Chris is also a podcasting OG, so if you like Linux then I’d recommend checking out some of the other Jupiter Broadcasting shows.

Wow it's not every day you hear Back Orifice brought up 🔥🔥☠️🐄🔥🔥

Ok I didn't realize the front end of OwnTracks will work in conjunction. That is pretty cool 🧨

Dawarich is brand new and for iOS only? Solid pass. Use OwnTracks for self-hosted location tracking.

You self-censor yourself on the word ass? That's extremely gay

Leave your routers alone. People need those proxies. 😉

EU can suck a dick and they will HFSP

Phoenix was always still usable in the USA, using the APK, no VPN needed It was only removed from the Google app store in the United states. It was still available in Aurora, Github, Obtainium
