The storage apocalypse has arrived. An old friend drops by to talk survival strategies as prices explode, and we pitch our own unapologetically 90s...
I’m disheartened by what Trump has done in Venezuela. They, like us and Ukraine, are a sovereign nation and we have no business invading them and arresting their president, regardless of how crummy he may be.
A friend of mine just put out a new song entitled In the Shadow of the Manger that I think y’all should listen to: 
@Oscar Merry / @Ainsley Costello / @PhantomPowerMedia - if you all listen and like it, maybe you could reach out and encourage him posting to @Fountain as well. I think it’ll take another artist to help him see the value in v4v

Suits me if some deep-pocketed types are toying with the people doing high leverage stuff against Bitcoin as that mess seems to artificially distort the actual market value of BTC… or that’s my layman’s impression at least

I’m really glad to see you all implementing and driving things forward with the alternative enclosure tag!
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).
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. 😢
Are you staying on Knots or Core? If Core 30, are you making any changes to the default configuration?

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:
