641: Something New, Something Old

Hey also, keen to know how you handle gifting sats to non-coiners. Thinking I might do that this Xmas for a few family and friends.

Reporting back regarding CoinJar. So far so good. Have updated my Jupiter party subscription to use the attached Mastercard, now paying for my membership with sats! Few retail purchases this week too and it’s working great. Hurts to spend those sats though! Also flipping back to core with config tweak given the knots BIP444 shenanigans. Buy store brands: stack sats!

Sick song!

Sick sing!

Interesting on Flock. https://dailyemerald.com/172015/news/flock-cameras-to-be-pa…

This wasn't me, but my brother left his really expensive razor gaming phone on the roof of his car and drove off and the poor thing flew a good 10-15 feet and completely shattered both sides of the phone. It was also safe to assume someone ran over it too. To put simply, he was really pissed at himself because those damn phones are expensive. Not to say I either had my fair share of broken phones, but... I don't spend a ton on them. Though, even at my price range(motos), replacing three phones in a single year and now four phones? Yeah, that adds up very quickly. Kids are expensive.

Meep Thrash! Yep, being poor sure is fun. 😵‍💫

🤢🎸🤯🤘

The state of privacy in Western Australia. Better, worse or the same as Flock? Cheers and keep up the great work. https://youtu.be/Ud8kFCmalgg?si=CFRCyQVHqVJX5cXJ

Boosting from Fountain with my Alby hub connected via Nostur connect! Re tax implications for spends on the CoinJar Mastercard setup in Australia, they report to the tax office directly or you can easily download transaction reports for your accountant. Also got my node setup dialled in now with clearnet and Tor working smooth and BTC Explorer to monitor it. I’ll get my act together and put the compose file on GitHub and report back. It gets easier every day: stack sats.

Thanks for sharing your podcast at LFNW2026. You have a new listener!

Yeah I have to be careful during the holiday season as well. My little sister is a heart patient and we have to be vigilant. Unlike last year, she was down for the count for nearly a month. And I think she also caught pneumonia in the process too. So yeah, I understand your vigilance when it comes to making sure you're not getting sick as much as possible, and especially with the norovirus. Anyways, I hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving. This is a back in time boost, so I'm still catching up.

Back in time Boost - During our Thanksgiving Honday, we ended up qualifying for two turkeys at our local WinCo. Sad part I didn't realize this till I got back with an item we initially forgot. So I had to run back again to grab another Frozen Turkey. It still sitting in the freezer to this day. We'll probably cook it for new years or Christmas. Anyways have a Happy Holidays! I'm about a month behind in my podcasts, but I am catching up!

Love Longy! Definitely check out the interview he had on Phamtom Power Music Hour Episode 26! It's over a year old but still a good listen.

Hey Chris, I’ve been looking for a product in Australia similar to Fold you always mention. I settled on CoinJar. They have a prepaid Mastercard that you can instantly setup and use. It uses onchain BTC to fund purchases directly. Seems like a good product and trusted company since 2013. Of course it’s custodial, but unavoidable I beleive. I’d been keen for other Aussies to boost in and let us know what they use. Alby hub is still my main savings account. Skip the coffee: stack sats!

When it comes to running relays, you guys can probably run your own filtered relay. Because if you take a look at a relay called filter.noster.wine, it has a way of aggregating multiple relays and giving you a feed. This is designed to reduce spam on the nostr network and also battery life because it's there's less rela's ones phone has to communicate to. So, if each podcast app has its own relay to handle its own community, then PodcastIndex can just take in those feeds that are submitted and then aggregate them together into a single global feed. Then that way that gives you a central information point, but if you guys go down, each podcaster has their own relay and then can handle their own loads. Just my two cents, still love you guys and I'll bet you do. Go podcasting.

The interview that Gardner Bryant did with Kyle from the Bazzite did a good overview of the situation. In all actuality if it came to it, this might be a situation where if 32-bit is important for steam and game preservation, it should be up to Valve to provide a way for this. The steam client already uses containers runtimes for stabilization so this also could apply to 32-bit support. Valve can also maintain there own repository of 32-bit libraries that distributions can pull from instead too. Also 3rd party repositorys are a thing and I wouldn't put it past someone to maintain on for this very reason too. Love ya Noah and Steve!

Drive up Mt. Spokane. You will not regret it.

Hey Chris. I just switched to Knots 29.2 from core. Ended up using the Linuxserver.io docker image. It’s getting pretty simple to setup a node these days! Slowly catching up on TWIB. Cheers for the high signal content.

Woot for Ollie!

What do you mean by value blocks with the auto boost in your v4v music app?

Yeah, my phone ended up playing two and three podcasts in the background without me realizing it. So, my loss is the artists gain. Anyways, love what you do and I love your unique take on music. Definitely give me a lot more variety. That's for sure.

Do you guys want me to make a updated logo for Texas Linux Fest? I'm always open to do graphics for you guys again.

Love this parody song! I love my pork hips fried too.

yeah I was a thrift store kid too and even got into those tie-dye and paisley pattern shirts back in the late 90s too. Nowadays I still wear branded t-shirts but mostly now either gaming centric comic-con, or from you guys. Like I still have that patch ypur shit t-shirt from techstep Back when ya'll first started with Teespring.

Just recently I had a customer complaining about their internet turning off and on and that the LED light was fading away so I automatically assumed it was a bad PoE. I come on site and he tells me well the internet working now. That got me curious and I asked him to show me what he did. He ended up just moving the PoE from on the floor to on top of the router which is on their TV stand and the power supply started working again. So I crouched there for a bit, I swapped the PoE out and I put it on the ground and it turned off. So I put the old PoE back on and traced my hands back towards the outlet and realized that it just fell right out of the receptacle. I basically told him yo replace the receptical and he will get an electrician to do that. Luckily there was another outlet not too far so their internet stays on. I also recomended a UPS cause power out there is not stable. This all came to my mind as I heard Steve's story to check hardware first mentality. Saved my bacon for sure.

Angela, you lost me when you said Jack in the box. Ugh.. I don't know about your guys this area but the ones in my area are... Not great... 🤢🤮 To say at the least.

We usually buy our own fireworks but mainly because we're stocking up for the year and for like New Years because it's safer to launch fireworks in the winter than it is during the summertime when it is dry up here in the northwest, or at least in my area in the northwest.

Hate to see you go, but here's hoping this is a see you later instead of a goodbye. Anyways thanks for introducing me to all these independent artist like this one!

Duck that indeed.
