I would be up for some OpenShift virtualization coverage. I had heard it was a much heavier lift compared to other platforms, from a technical skill set standpoint + plus needing like 7 nodes to get started in a recommended setup. I wonder what might be sustainable in a 1 or 2 node setup? I love options. Keep the Red Hat coverage coming!

11k First time boosting in to TwiB!
I am a total bitcoin newbie and really enjoy your breakdown of the macro news.
You've convinced me to start stacking those SATs, thanks for that!
I am considering noding up, and was about to go Knots to balance out the network. But all this BIP 444 business has convinced me to go core 30 with tweaked settings. Will report back once I get it up and running!

10k I think Bitcoin still has a perception issue. Most folks I talk to think of it as a scam or not real (in a currency sense). Those I hear talk about it tend to be fairly libertarian or they're distrustful of the current financial systems brokeness / inequalities. Most people will follow the financial advice of societal norms (savings, stocks, etc) and by the time that norm changes the majority of Bitcoin will be owned by banks / companies. As they can afford the risks of non-trad finance systems and reg folks, who can't take that risk (financial or perceptual), will be too late to reap the goals currently touted.

10k For the fed worker contract ratio. I don't see firing fed workers (especially in the areas effected so far) having a real impact on spending. They'll probably be replaced by more contractors who'll cost even more while they're employed. And the gov will become even less capable of doing basics functions by itself then it already is

2.2k 🤔💭I wonder if Wes could update y’all’s boost tooling to resolve Nostr addresses as I tend to boost this show from Fountain simply because it also posts to Nostr. I wonder if the the tooling could also use info Fountain includes in boosts to make that easier. That would help with truncated boosts from here too since Nostr notes can be way longer than boosts natively support.

2.2k From what I’ve learned thus far, it feels to me like there are other things at play that generally line up on 4 year intervals rather than #bitcoin itself having a 4 year cycle. Primarily, I think what you’ve laid out previously about the liquidity market being the driver is key.

2.2k Re: Would I spend my sats at a store with Square that’s offering the option of paying in BTC? Absolutely, but I’d do it via the cash side of the Strike app where I pay the invoice straight from my checking account. I’d do it every time simply to help normalize paying that way.

5k Chris just wanted to say thank you for your candor in your Nextcloud journey. Good or bad we love it all. Please keep us posted as you make your way to the rock solid setup. I'd like to build something for my folks that I can get them access to via Tailscale as a Google Drive replacement (primarily for storage). I want something I can setup automatic security updates on and just check in on periodically, but not have to work on frequently to support. Thanks for the great show guys!

Had a great time with the TUI challenge, easy for me on the neovim and tmux side because I daily drive it. But for the rest it was great discovering all these new apps!! The big surprise for me was how manageable it was to live without a full fledged browser. Being used to vim motions w3m was a great experience to reduce the learning curve for text content. browsh is rough around the edges but got me the rest of the way there and able to login into github and most of my tests were ok. I ran out of time to get mail and music going but looking forward to getting it done soon. You guys got me excited about going full tui 😁 Can't wait to hear how you guys did!

Hey ! Boosting with my progress for the TUI challenge (no time for more): (Brent style trying to add until the last minute :D) - Text = 10 + 15 = Neovim / Vim (on my work windows machine) - Email = -20 - Web = 20 + 5 = w3m for text based content (articles, docs) & browsh where JS is needed - Music = -10 - File = 10 + 5 = yazi - Task = 20 = todoman - System monitoring = 10 = btop, k9s (kubernetes used in day-job) - Terminal multitasking = 30 = tmux Total of 95 with the 2 penalties applied Creative bonus points : - Same theme with almost all used TUI apps (catppuccin mocha) - tmux script to manage sessions and hotswap between project directories

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
