I listened this week but I don't remember what I had to say as it was late. Here's some support for the excellent episode, however! Cheers!

I would like to see a deep dive on Alby Hub. A peek under the hood and some explanation of what the "user friendly" UI is hiding from a node operator. Maybe include some discussion on opening channels and the "why?" behind the limited number of LSPs offered through the Alby Hub UI. How does AlbyHub impact decentralization of the network? Discussion of Cloud vs. self-hosted AlbyHub instances.

Time traveller boost, I’m going back over episodes about File systems. Who knew that you could customize the file system in your OS. Wow! Could you explain the difference between corporate disros (like Ubuntu & PopOS) and community distros. Pros and cons, trade offs, that kind of thing. Thanks.
