Bitcoin failed as geopolitical hedge? Ansler Lindner does not think so and brilliantly explains in detail:

With this extension to my roof (connected since yesterday), my lightning node has become more resilient to power outages. On another note (no, literally this one), it is tough to run a lightning node _and_ understand what it is doing. Run a Raspiblitz, and everything works miraculously (cool stuff; until you start changing stuff manually). Or set everything up yourself (with help from https://bitcointv.com/w/rUELmYfAz9V7L7hZW9gq2b) and go to the deep end sweating and cursing 🎱. Either way - it is worth going for it.

If you cannot, or will not manage your Satoshi‘s on your own, then at least store them with someone you know so you can knock at their door if necessarily.

„How they Sell Inflation“ - by Peter St. Onge - great 5 min read

TFTC – Truth for the Commoner

How they Sell Inflation

The inflation-is-prosperity fallacy has been internalized by the ruling class.

Old men don't have time to talk. They barely have time to shoot. Either way, they won't see the consequences of their shooting or their talking. If you get the chance to vote, perhaps you'll evaluate the thought at the next opportunity to delegate your voice.

I sincerely apologize to the channel partners of my node (MindlinerTre) for the mess. I had to panic shut down and roll back the VM (just a few minutes ... and finally understood that you cannot roll back a lightning server even a minute). 60 channels lost. #noderunner

One of these days I will paste my nsec to the wrong input field. I hope this moment will be far away. It will be my departure from social. There is simply nowhere to go online after nostr.

„If you take Krugman at his word, why, one would have to ask him, if printing money is fundamentally a good thing ([…] that is the Keynesian view, which, of course, is absurd and non-sense […]) because it increases consumption, why would you leave it to a central bank or a commercial bank to do that for you? Why don’t they give us a machine that we can put in our attic or spare bedroom and print money when we need it as a family? It would be very popular.“ - Godfrey Bloom in TFTC -448 by @Marty Bent

Tolerance arises from realizing that one’s view of the world is incomplete and trying to see the higher dimension that unifies the different opinions. Peace stems from understanding clearly when to engage and when to allow things to unfold without our involvement.

I switched browsers (and extension) and managed to lose all my 350 or so follows. Looking at an empty page I hope I can restore my list tomorrow ...

I would expect to hear this kind of conversation with top politicians and head of states. Today’s leaders are podcasters and comedians (German speakers will appreciate the highly accurate statements by Marc-Uwe Kling‘s kangaroo. Thank you @Peter McCormack and Konstantin Kisin.

I am planning to upgrade the hardware of my lightning node. I run c-lightning with clboss, RTL and LNbits. The node should be able to handle 300-400 channels. I would be grateful for your recommendations as to what the parameters of the baremetal should be and whether or not to use virtualization. #noderunner

I have achieved most in my life in times when there was only one viable path forward.
