I wrote this code for a job interview, but I didn't get the job so I have made it open-source. It might be a good reference for someone? Also if you star my github repo I'll pay you 1500 sats. 1. It uses `lndinit` to initialize and/or unlock the LND from a stored secret. 2. Configures LND to use the postgres DB backend 3. It uses ETCD leader election, so you can have a high-availability LND deployment where if one goes down, a second replica, (on a different machine) can take over the Lightning Ops. 4. It runs the Aperture server to create a Lightning Paywall. I really, really, really want to have a career working with Bitcoin and Lightning, so if you know anyone hiring please send them my way! @Blockstream @jack @ODELL @Bitkey @npub1a2cw...w83a @npub1ug8c...d9ry @Derek Ross @calle @gladstein @Rigly @The Space @Sazmining @preston

First successful Enoki #mushroom grow! They like cold temperatures and high CO2 so these little guys have been growing in my fridge for a few months now. #mushtr #shroomstr @Foxfire Mushrooms

Migrated my site's email system from SendGrid to ProtonMail SMTP! It was really easy, but just one of those things that had to be done. SendGrid got rid of its free tier, which is the main driver, but also when I originally set it up, I wanted to use ProtonMail, but they were only releasing this feature to beta testers at the time and they rejected my application, even though I only send like 10 emails a month. It is a much better experience for me as well, since I can go to my email mailbox and see all of the automated emails, and the contents, that were sent. SendGrid only gave me metadata about the email. #email #dailyupdate @Proton

It’s shipping day again! Spent the last 2-3 weeks speed running a new iteration of the LightningSpore induction sterilizer. V1.1 is released onto the world! Prices are going to go up shortly, it’s a new and improved product. I don’t make any money at these prices. Go orders yours now before I update my site! #buildstr #shipping

Ordering my latest Seedsigner development board. 30 units inbound. Features: 1. Multiple LCD header ports, so you can solder in the 320x240 screen. 2. Pi Zero or Luckfox Pico embedded Linux support! Look mom no RPi!!! 3. Support for the standard waveshare hat. 4. External buttons for future development and cool case designs. 5. GPIO expander chip to enable future development of Seedsigner on devices with minimal GPIO. 6. I2C grove header so you can plug in a wide variety of potential accessories! Want to also say very VERY many thanks to Modulo for sponsoring some of my work on this! While I am helping him some, I think the Seedsigner ecosystem as a whole is gaining a lot from him supporting me. I really do love open-source. But if you are hiring for something in bitcoin and need a passionate and driven individual, please send me a DM or a message. @SeedSigner @SeedSigner ("the man") @Keith Mukai @Dimi @npub1frac...r6de @modulo @Guy Swann @ODELL @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 @The Space image

image New #induction sterilizer PCB coming together. About to do a big order of assembled PCBs from JLCPCB. First time getting my personal boards assembled. If it all goes well it really is a game changer. The amount of time I will save on not having to solder is immense. The only problem is that the cost of 5 boards is basically the cost of 20 boards. That means the design has got to really work the first time! #electronics

#asknostr One final sort observation about Nostr based shopping. I wonder if others know good ideas. A lot of you sellers are like “zap me and I’ll send you products”. Like it is never that simple. Even if you had a single product, your next questions are: “where do I send this product?” “What name do I put on the package?” It’s sorta awkward to ask a bitcoiner using a nym what their real name and address is. And then the next piece of difficulty is normalizing addresses people give you. People always forget stuff in their address. The benefit of a real website with a form is you can validate this before the order is ever submitted. Especially for non-US orders, I cannot just look at an address and be like, “yeah that definitely seems reasonable”. So typically I avoid non-US shipping, but sometimes it is worth it. Dealing with customs harmonization codes also makes me wanna scream, so that’s another reason. Just food for thought. What are some of your internal procedures for handling ad-hoc orders on Nostr (or otherwise) which doesn’t require a lot of back and forth with the customer trying to get the basics down? #nostrsellers
