GM! Morning walk before work. Another beautiful day here! 🌞🌊🫂

Singapore police could restrict scam victims from accessing bank accounts under proposed law. Yes, there are a lot of scams around, and some people lose a lot of money to them, but I don’t think giving the police or government the power to decide what is a scam and block bank accounts is the right solution.

Singapore's radical solution to global scam epidemic

Scam victims in Singapore could lose access to their own money as the country ramps up efforts to curb hundreds of millions of dollars lost to scams.

Lunch time walk

Lunch time walk. Beautiful day, 25°C here. 🌞🌊

Things are slowing down at work in the lead up to Christmas so I’ve got some more time to work on building my new Bitcoin/Lightning node. @The Fishcake (nostr.build) convinced me to try Eclair so this is what I am planning to do. I have 2 NUCs, each with a 2TB NVMe drive. I upgraded one to 64GB RAM and the other to 32GB last night. Eclair will be using Postgres as a backend with replication. NUC 1: - PostgreSQL - Bitcoin Core - Eclair (docker) NUC 2: - PostgreSQL - Bitcoin Core I may also run Alby Hub in docker on NUC 2 mainly to separate zaps off of my main node. Both NUCs are on my APC extended run UPS for power backup. Internet connectivity is redundant via two Internet services using different access technologies (NBN FTTH & fixed wireless) with a separate router for each one. So far Bitcoin Core is installed on each and has finished syncing.
