@ManiMe I'm guessing you haven't been getting my DMs and Amethyst won't even let me attempt to send them anymore saying that you have to set up inbox relays of some shit like that. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Anyway, try 123456. If that doesn't work, you can update the settings over USB using httls://client.meshtastic.org/

This is the future people were promised in 1979 image Actually, this one pretty much delivered. That wooden aestetic though... 🤣 your phone could match your station wagon.

TFW you got 12 hours notice llast night that your Meshtastic node was going to be moved to the top of a radio tower and now you're waiting to hear if everything went to plan or not. 🤞

Has anyone here actually transmitted a lightning transaction over Meshtastic? I'm not looking for what someone read about, or someone theorizing that it could be done. I'm looking for first hand experience. The things that I've bumped into are things like this: Which is cool, but it leaves out key details like: how did they create that transaction and get those hex bytes? I feel like this could be a fun demo even if it was going from a laptop in a field with a meshtastic radio connected. Then people could progress to getting the same to work in a mobile app, or add in e-cash support, or whatever. We need more people to make the plunge to becoming builders. Not just proof-of-concept builders, but the real kind, who can handle doing more than a one-off demo that nobody can reproduce.

Not much time for social media today. Swapped out a couple of bike tyres, blew out a tube, called 5 bike shops before I found a tube that was "close enough", installed said tube. Set up the garden hoses, discovered the patio sink faucet leaks, found that the 1->4 hose splitter/switch broke. Still left to do: Need to repair a gutter, figure out how the wasps are getting in, clean out the trash bin and set up the patio. Spring has arrived.

Free advice for anyone who has a newsletter: if you want to expand your audience, write in a way that your subscribers can forward it on to their sister, uncle and friends. I'm not going to call anyone out by name, but if you have a bunch of assumptions built in, know that it is limiting your reach. I've seen multiple examples where I wanted to forward it along, but it just wouldn't resonate with the average person. If you're just interested in preaching to choir, then you should ignore this advice. It's probably plently profitable to cater to your base. The real question is why do you do it? Is it because you want to make a real impact, or for the money? Either is fine, just make sure you're hitting what you're aiming for. Or don't. It's your call.

If you think bitcoin is the only way to beat inflation, you might want to do your own research. If you're running around telling everyone bitcoin is the only way to beat inflation... please stop, for everyone's sake, but most of all, for yours.

I also need to update LNBits, because it always says paents succeed, when when the underlying light ing node tells LNBits that the payment failed. No point in reporting this until I'm on the latest release.

I'm glad I have a backup wallet for when my self-hosted one fails while I'm out and about. (I'll check the logs tomorrow to see if I can figure out why). I also had cash money on me in case both failed. Can't have too many backups.

TL;DR This doesn't affect self-hosters unless you have an AWS data source. View quoted note → This type of vulnerability is also why you might want to use the blackbox exporter instead of running an agent on every machine that your grafana server can access. It limits the damage in the event grafana ever does get compromised.

Apples were on sale today, so our monthly grocery budget is now completely shot. The upside is that if I get these all washed cored, sliced, seasoned and dried, we should be set on cinnamon apple chips for the year. 10 lbs down, another 20 lbs to go

PSA: 1/4 tsp of @kidwarp's bitpaste is too much for 24 fl oz of cola. It was tasty, but wow, what a kick in the face (you know, in a good way) Maybe an 1/8th tsp would be suitable. Will try that recipe next.
