Just booted my garage server after 24 days of downtime. The old Super Micro takes SO LONG too boot, there is ALWAYS a moment when my heart sinks, and I am just positive I’ve lost a disk. And then, somehow, every time, five or ten minutes later everything is online, and working fine. How long will I get away with this 10+ year old server firing up? No idea. But thankful!

Hey 👋 if you haven't checked out This Week in Bitcoin for a minute, today's episode could be a good time to do so. https://episodes.fm/1733733790/episode/OGRmNzRlN2MtNzY2ZC00NmVjLTk0NDMtNzU0ODU1ZTFiZmZi I explain why I think we are weeks away from central banks cutting rates, why I am relieved to see Mt. Gox finally distributing lost corn, and some crazy stats from the Germans selling like crazy.

🫡 FYI - LINUX Unplugged will be live early tomorrow, and a double! The stream will be up and going by 10am JB time: https://fountain.fm/live/hzkcnsXfckY0PIZsdV0i

GM - A truth bomb for breakfast: You’re not fully sovereign until the technology you depend on is. Too many people have passed over the Plasma desktop, and it just keeps kicking more and more ass. There is no second best, and we're going live to make our case in under an hour:

Very disappointed to see this, but this is why we #Nostr Supreme Court allows White House to press social media companies to remove disinformation: https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/26/politics/social-media-disinformation-supreme-court-ruling/index.html

So now that I setup my NIP-05 verification, does that make me a Nostr Blue check? Because I feel fancy now for sure! 😁

As soon as it gets warm out, Levi turns into a solar powered dog. Anyone else's dog do this? 😂 He gets WARM! Maybe it's a from Texas thing?

It doesn't have to be a vacation, just get out somewhere great and take a little time away from it all. Not everyone has the option but if you can, don't wait for a week of down time. Just try to get out and work remote. This was my spot that I recorded the shows from last week. I already miss it. It does something good for the brain and the soul being out in the woods. Even if you have to remain connected, it's still a net benefit.

What’s your Nostr elevator pitch? A goto one line when you’re introducing someone new? Asking for a friend… 😉

Is there a site our profile posting about recent Nostr developments and apps?

Is anyone watching the Google I/O keynote? I gotta admit, I am curious what they will try to cram AI into next…

This was such a rare treat last night. First time seeing it, and I was in my own backyard!

Keynote time at Red Hat Summit.

About to invade Denver. Any know of a #Bitcoin business or two I could throw some sats at while I am here?

Just gave it a go, very slick! View quoted note →

GM from the Pacific Northwest ☀️ Hope you’re having a great Saturday.

You are going to love to hate this clip. Supposedly the godmother of Modern Monetary Theory just hilariously blows it trying to explain what MMT is:

Oh damn, taking a peak at the new @ZEUS alpha. This is going to be a killer release: - Watch-only account import (xpub) - Hardware wallet / signing device support - Batch channel opens - Batch on-chain txs This wallet has been going from strength to strength non-stop.

We recently had a chance to visit the caves in the Texas Hill Country. I wanted to share a few photos for the story on LINUX Unplugged this week.
