Bitcoin Core’s Identity Crisis

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.

The headphone mic sounds good. Half listening it didn't scream out as different. When you mentioned it and I started listening more critically, it sounds like you're in a large room and there's an emptiness caused by that. But this is me not picking and I think it'd work great in a pinch

🍻

Kept listening and heard that you also noticed 👍

Lads, I think you missed some boosts last episode. At least mine and m00ninite's show up in Fountain but seemed to have missed your bot. The headset sounds good to me! For the TUI challenge, I think sixel should be allowed, since it's something that real DEC terminals did. Otherwise I vote no for external graphics. Also, what about another bonus challenge to do social media from the TUI. toot for Mastodon is great, for example

It doesn't take 2 weeks for credit cards to settle... The payment to the business settles in 0-48hrs however they are exposed to chargeback risk for 60-90 days, sometimes longer... So 2 weeks I don't know where you got that, but you can look at it as settling in 2 days or 90 days, depending how settled you are referring to...

Been listening daily but my wallet was not working since the fountain update. Here is my back sats. Thank you for your great show.

I really enjoyed both the eBPF show, and the coverage of the Rust/kernel mess a couple weeks back. Hope you lads had a great time at Scale !

We went deep on this one. Let me know if we over did it?

🔥🔥

Boosting right off the bat. Will be sharing this educational show with more music friends who still haven't dipped their toes in.

This second episode is required listening. Incredible education here.

😎🍻

Good rip. Been a fan of Fountain since the beginning and it was amazing when I heard they were switching to using nostr. The new mashup is 🔥🧨🔥

Great to get these updates from Oscar at Fountain. Still playing with how my RSS hosted music under "Tonewrecker Tracks" functions differently from what is under "Paul Birken" on Wavlake.

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.

I forgot to say, most of the details of what I did / used are in the writeup. So feel free to talk about whatever part of it

I loved this challenged! Learned a lot and will keep using some of the tools. #TUIchallenge https://github.com/Prometheus7435/challenges/blob/main/tui-…

(Typo correction : *bad attitude)

I agree we need a good modern in-kernel filesystem. I'm also still frustrated at the bzf attitude of the kernel devs wrt zfs. If they'd embraced it as an external project with a special status, the fs story would have been so much better

Jumped ahead to listen to 626 and 627 whilst catching up. Throwing in some support !

. Halfway through this show Overflowing with ideas Thank you to the guests! . #V4V #learningbydoing

Saturday morning catching up with ideas from many inspiring individuals. Inquiring minds want to know. Learning by doing always in full effect with this group. Go podcasting!

Hearing about the state of the engine sealing, here's some sats for an MQ-7 so Brent can get carbon monoxide monitoring going

Test boooost!

Paul is arguing that Lightning doesn't work because it doesn't scale to 8 billion? Has anyone claimed it would? Does any monetary system we have scale to the whole world? Appeals to authority, admitting he hasn't used it in recent years, clearly has an axe to grind about a different solution (drive chains). Seeing more and more "OGs" who are disappointing. Slay your heroes, fam.

Knots is not maintained by "just one guy". This is a misunderstanding. Please have Bitcoin Mechanic/Grassfed Bitcoin on to get the other side on this. The real issue is mining pool centralization, which is what Stratum v2 was trying to solve, but now Datun has basically solved, and you run that along with Knots. Fix the mining pool issue and you the "spammers will be incentiized to go directly to miners" argument becomes moot.

There is zero risk of running a different implementation of a node. Your keys certainly should never be on your own node. So, there is zero risk. Filter the spam ya cucks

Nice long form podcast. I would be into sown flour from their store as I am a sourdough baker. I’ll be listing for nursing family farms in tbe curcke P

I did appreciate the RedHat coverage, though it left me feeling down (their fault not yours) ... and apparently uninspired to boost!

I use KeePass with syncthing and it works great for my needs. Love the Gnome Commander pick, and it's a nice little bit of nostalgia remembering when Gnome initially shipped Midnight Commander as their file manager.

Something seems to have gone wrong with my Daemon update boost, which shows as anonymous on the fountain fm website. That was me, thomato

Daemon update time! Last Saturday night, I sat down to install FreeBSD. I haven't done so since 4-dot-something, but I'm sure it'll be easy. I'm a NetBSD user after all! The FreeBSD installer is not as easy as Net's. I eventually gave up trying to get zfs to boot on my T440p, and started thinking about Comic Sans. Didn't boost in last week out of shame. This week I tried on a new machine (a more modern thinkpad). Got root on ZFS working, thankfully, which for me is the whole point of trying FreeBSD. And eventually X11, KDE, and sound. I still can't get my preferred keyboard layout, though. I went for syncthing in a jail to get 7 points instead of just 2. I also did a fresh install of my favoured NetBSD, which I don't normally run as a desktop. I have to say, getting a graphical environment working was easier. In general, I find the NetBSD installation process much more pleasant, though I'm of course more familiar with it. Wes might enjoy looking at the NetBSD boot process. It's wonderfully simple. You can even get root on ZFS, though it's a manual process that makes for a slightly janky boot procedure -- no worse than how Linux boots, though! https://wiki.netbsd.org/root_on_zfs/ For scoring: 6 points for: FreeBSD installed and online, audio recording (will send link later), and syncthing 15 points for: syncthing in a jail, firewall configured, and I also installed a NetBSD desktop. I don't think I'll keep the FreeBSD installation, but I am going to keep NetBSD on this laptop. It not only suspends (FreeBSD could do that), it even resumes! But in general, I'm sticking with Linux as a desktop.

🎯 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

AxelRod RULES!

Good Friday indeed ❤️‍🔥🙏

I hadn’t played StarCraft since high school, but I’ve been playing all week! Great episode 👍

Have you ever wondered what the original Linux conference is like? It’s more fun than you might think. We share the experience of LinuxFest Northwest!

. Closet gathering Short term volatility A Midwest broadcast .

I’d love to hear some Bitcoin stats each episode. Also, yes, I’m stacking for retirement. Each paycheck I set aside some money for my brokerage, my IRA, and Bitcoin. I’m pretty sure I’ll regret not putting everything in Bitcoin in the future, but I currently sleep soundly at night.

🔥🔥🔥

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

"Real wages have increased in lowest quintile". How many jobs are they working ((many had to work extra jobs) and how much of those are government jobs?

You can always tell a Leftist when start dropping F-bombs before words as a form of emphasis. Dude has TDS something hard

He is of the group that still believes in "classical liberalism" where it's arguably classical liberalism that got us to this point.

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 😏

Another great episode Chris! Trying out a post after connecting to nostr in fountain 1.1!

Diving into a new episode tonight.
