Gents! I’ve been running NixOS as a server for a year now, really keen to get started with flakes in NixOS, but struggling to get started - any pointers? NixOS on the media PC has been amazing! Meshtasic devices rocked up on Friday, but I didn’t make it to the post office in time, have to wait until Monday now! *sigh*

In response to last week's baller boost with Hank, there's also a another Linux conference coming up for Seattle called SeaGL, happening next month on November 8th and 9th over at the Washington State University. I would love to hear you guys cover it as well. https://seagl.org/ Also, this is another boost to get Producer Jeff up there. I really want to drive over there as well, but would need a couch to crash on since it would be a tight budget. Or we could just camp in that "backyard" the studio has. 😝 Like always love listening to you guys and as the Podfather says. Go Podcasting!

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.

I’m doing the sudo savings & checking accounts thing with my sats: I save at River and keep that completely separate from my boostin’ sats. I haven’t saved enough to warrant a cold card yet, but I’m thinking about how to handle that each week that I listen here. My boostin’ sats stay in Alby mostly for use with Castimatic, but I also have some at Fountain & TrueFans.

Long time listener, first time booster. Really enjoy the show. Have a couple of servers setup at home running Proxmox, NixOS, Jellyfin, Home Assistant, Immich and so much more! I’m running Tailscale thanks to you guys. My off site backup uses a Synology box at my folks place 400km away, all via TS. PS this is a post code boost, Australia. Maybe a Western Australia meetup!? Cheers.

After reading you suggested making my own site pouted at my Nostr profile… so I did 😁 I setup https://genebean.me with all my links and setup https://genebean.me/nostr as a shortcut.

If it doesn’t have in app unilateral exit, it’s custodial, period. This is not negotiable. If something is not implemented then it simply doesn’t exist for the average user. 99.99999% of Spark users don’t even know a CLI app exists let alone how to use it. Without local caching and unilateral exit actually implemented in the app and having hard dependency on operator cooperation to exit then it’s custodial. Listen I actually like Spark and think it makes reasonable tradeoffs in a world without covenants, but as it stands it’s a custodial product. Happy to revise this once we see an actual implementation of unilateral exit and more operators and LSPs, but it’s just the honest reality today.

The sats per USD is truly interesting, especially if you include trends. Overall, I say include the stats. Regarding retirement, I suck at traditional savings and am starting to look at bitcoin as a better way to accomplish that actual goal of long term growth

+1 for the newbie video. Would love to see it too! My spending sats are held like this: streaming sats go to Alby (because I listen in Castamatic); boosting sats are in Fountain. Still working on my holding workflow. For now, I’m just stacking them in Cash.app and Strike.

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!

Great show you guys have. I love to hear about the behind the scenes work when it comes to podcasting 2.0. With regards to with auto generating voice for podcasting. This is happening with YouTube shorts and a lot of summary type videos for movies and shows so I wouldn't be surprised the same thing happens with podcasting. You're alright though, for me I do prefer the personal touch with podcasts so hopefully it won't be as big an issue as it is on video sharing sites.

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.

I think the livestream all will probably great work for you. You could also set up a memberful account like what Jupiter Broadcasting does and they distribute the raw/no ads live shows from there too. Just an idea so you can generate some monthly income.

🤔💭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.

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.

Update... Well that was a bust with River. I did the ID verification, KYC BS, and the next day, my account was closed before I even had a chance to buy any Bitcoin. I had issues before with my address but this is a first for a exchange... Oh well... at least there are other ways to buy Bitcoin.

Finally got my account made with River and likely the kyc process wasn't painful. Had issues in the past due to my address. I still have some banking things I need to complete before I can start buying Bitcoin, but thank you for the recommendation and the affiliate link. I might do the saving account that River have going but I have my reservations. Also had a bad week with my fountain wallet locking up due to a transaction. I'm realizing that I need to self sovereign my lightening wallets with something like alby. Eitherway still Loving the show and look forward to learning from ya.

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.

I used to play trumpet when I was in school. I still even have the old trumpet in my closet just collecting dust. Needs polishing work but every once in awhile, I'll play it. Honestly got more value out of the music theory because it helps me understand the basic principles of things a little easier. Anyways wish your daughter's good luck.

    Out of this, mention what you like on the show. This is to add to the Space Balls boost. planetace is said as Planet Ace. You guys hit the nail on the head first time. This was originally the name of a ship (vehicle carrier) I used to see a lot in Lyttleton when I was younger. It became my theme when I started geocaching. You know global positioning, longitude latitude on the planet etc. I like the turm Ace. They now have vessels in their fleet with names Beluga Ace and Courageous Ace.

Spousal approval 10/10 too, which of course is all that matters. Pretty happy with the performance on the old AMD Phenom II X6 - boots up fast and seems to handle all media types at 4K. The 5.1 surround sound analogue output and Bluetooth for the mouse even worked out of the box! Thumbs up on the map work last week, Bakers Hill, Western Australia was correct for 6562. Think I have the username set correct now in fountain? Jupiter Broadcasting shows are revitalising my interest in Linux and self hosting, thanks team really appreciate it. Cheers, Retro Gear.
