Hey @Ainsley Costello - are you going to be doing any shows in the #Atlanta, GA or #Chattanooga, TN or #Birmingham, AL areas anytime soon? Asking because I’d love to be able to come out to a show sometime

Since I had a bunch of stuff hanging around, I decided to make my own controller for a couple of strands of lights on my porch that I want to control with #WLED. A strip will connect to each screw terminal block, power will come into the board with one pigtail, and the other pigtail will facilitate power injection to the far end, if needed. I’ve got a weather proof box and a power supply coming tomorrow and am kinda excited to finalize my first outdoor diy setup (I’ve only done indoor ones before). image

I just want to give @Blockstream mad props for their customer support & for standing behind their product. My Jade Plus had a manufacturing defect that eventually resulted in a stuck button. With no fuss and no shenanigans they offered to send me a new one as a replacement. It arrived quickly and all is well. Thanks #Blockstream!

@Chris Fisher RE LUP637, I sure wish I understood what makes your experience with Zigbee so different than mine. Mine is so rock solid. I attribute that to my PoE radio and planning my Zigbee and WiFi channel usage so they don’t overlap, but have no idea if that’s relevant for you. Regardless, I feel like it must be something simple that causing you to have pain. 😢

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.

Y’all… Pinchflat is awesome! I know you’ve mentioned it many times, but it’s so much nicer than I realized. As a bonus, integrated the containerized version with Jellyfin that comes from nixpkgs was pretty straightforward:
GitHub
Setup Pinchflat by genebean · Pull Request #572 · genebean/dots
This sets up the container to run as the jellyfin user and to download to the folder where I store things from YouTube for Jellyfin already. Based ...

Last week I boosted and relied on you seeing the rendered version of my npub like is shown on Fountain & Primal, but that isn’t how things work. 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.
