(2001 space odisy clip) Dont hate the player hate the game, I boosted the most sats last week but got jipped on my Lobster and Im the best 🤪. Whats the minimum that a baller boost can be? (Sometimes JB brings shouts out boosts that arent listed on the Fountain episode so we cant see if an episode is light on sats 🤔)

Another question: as a member who also boosts, do you prefer having income from memberful or as boosts? Say for example I wanted to increase my financial contribution to JB. Is the membership or boosts more effective/easier for you guys to take in?

Show production question for ya: What part of Jb's operations takes the most of your time? What takes the most energy? What is the highest cost? As a member, I want to help offset that some, especially if it is something that I could either help support with time or by helping automate or maintaining some of the infrastructure, etc

Fidgets are a big part of my life, mostly because when you have a 3d printer, you can make your own. I've made probably around 20 infinity cubes for people and then 2 for myself, 1 for work and 1 for home. Look up fidget on printables.com or thingiverse

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.

Regarding multikernels Maybe you have a specifically optimized for gaming kernel run on a few cores so that all the gaming tasks have better performance. Wait, if there's a different kernel running on each core does that mean that things like kernel anticheat won't be able to see other tasks running elsewhere? So do you negate the privacy implications of kernel level anti cheats that way? Hmmmm

Couldn't make it yesterday since the storms in my area knocked out the regions electricity. Thankfully I have a portable generator to keep water and fridge running. Maybe it's time to invest in a battery system with an inverter and a bigger generator to keep more of the home running

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.

If family computer counts, the first computer I remember using and learning was a dell dimension 5000. Keep in mind I'm only only 10ish years older than your oldest... Sorry to make you feel old lol The first computer that was actually mine was a custom built machine centered around an A10-7890K because I was too poor for a dedicated video card at the time. This was during high school so what money I did get from the job I had was saved up and I later bought a 1050ti.

For the dumb time machine thought experiment I would back to the era of early steam locomotives so 1880s to early 1920s. I would love to be on a train crew and armed with my current knowledge of how to run one already, I probably wouldn't need to learn too much in terms of being an engineer or even a fireman. Plus it was the old west which is one of my favorite historical eras. Yeehaw pardners

So Chris, you're in a farm with a barn and a wide open area right? So when are you going to get a ham license? That kind of terrain is perfect to set up a dipole antenna... Well, maybe I'll just have to come out and make it happen. At this point you are 2 years overdue. I even waited a whole year after it was originally mentioned and STILL got both a technician and general license before you guys. Anyway, as we say in ham radio, 73

Congratulations Alex for figuring out why in the business datacenter we have a few separate SANs, compute hosts and NAS boxes instead of one. All because the department of redundancy department exists. In my homelab, I have found that added complexity can make more headaches down the road when one box gets updated and that breaks a thing or you have to shut everything down because your NAS with all the data needs an update or whatever the case may be

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?

re: fusion power I'm not an expert, just someone who has been interested in nuclear physics and done some research, so if there's anyone out there in the audience who knows more, please correct me We're actually getting there. ITER is planned to be operational as the first power grid scale fusion power plant in France by 2037, japan has had a working fusion generating station since 2023 called JT-60. So for Helion to be making a much smaller scale fusion generator compared those those projects, I believe it. Smaller and more efficient stations might be the way to go for the future. Would make the power grid more resilient since if there are many smaller systems adding power to the grid, the chance of a chain blackout is less. Also fusion has minimal waste compared to fission. The fuel is deuterium which is Hydrogen with 1 proton and 1 neutron smashed into Tritium which is Hydrogen with 1 proton and 2 neutrons. The most waste producing part is creating the tritium since that involves lithium mining

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.

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!

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!

    Speaking of incorporating bitcoin into farming, I have an Antminer S9 that works fantastic as a 650 watt space heater while earning around 375 sats per day (through Braiins pool). I also have a dozen chickens. I've thought about combining the two to keep my chickens happier during the winter. I just have to get wifi out to the coop.

    I'll take some Saylor sats... Yes Strategy selling is good, along with all the other whales because that means more and cheaper sats for me!!!
  • 15,864 via Fountain
    When I hear Saylor explain MSTR or STRC, it’s over my head. It’s served me well to only invest in things I understand. I’ll just keep stacking sats into cold storage. Thanks for the value.

    Hi Chris. My name is Tim. But you may remember me as Sir Lurksalot. You have been a great inspiration for me. Love Down Babylon is the name of my own V4V podcast, which I will be releasing soon. Babylon as in the ancient city where the Jews were held captive. Ras Tafarians use Babylon to mean the dominant culture of control and separation. The ills of our modern dystopia. The prison of mental slavery. The Matrix. My podcast is an attempt to share my journey out of my own mental slavery and into healing, love, and peace. And a trust-fall into the love-based V4V economy and out of the fear-based Matrix economy. I don't have answers for everyone. But I have hope. I want to share what works for me to help uplift and empower others to find their own way out. You don't fight war with war, hate with hate, or conflict with conflict. I am warrior for love, of love, and I am bringing all of my love. Not to the war. For the healing.
  • 2,222 via Fountain
    I think Strategy will be fine and the markets are in the process of vetting Saylor's vision of digital credit- the biggest factor in Bitcoin's price is now the flow of money into or out of the ETFs unfortunately and not what Bitcoin represents

    Thanks for sharing your agent and node methodology. I kind of knew the answer wouldn’t be something like “put a few wrappers in place and let ‘em loose on your nodes”.
