And just like that, the government has nerfed Fable 5

Successful day. Negotiated an enhanced severance agreement and started taking calls from recruiters to secure my next fiat mine.

Got Gemma Diffusion running today! Llama.cpp PR#2443 adds preliminary support via the new llama-diffusion-cli binary. AMD ROCm and Vulkan support are still in the works, so you’ll need CUDA/NVIDIA for now. Excited to try it again once AMD support is added.

GM Nostr! Coffee and holding a newborn is absolutely the best feeling in the world.

Opening day success! My daughter caught her first ever beautiful brown trout and safely released it. The pure excitement on her face made the whole trip.

GM Nostr! Not enough coffee for sleepy parents.

GM Nostr! Fixed my Traeger yesterday (new auger motor) and breaking it in this morning with smoked pulled pork. Excited to see how it turns out!

Two little furballs hiding in the yard grass today! Hoping mom’s close by keeping watch.

GM Nostr! Like morning dew, our most beautiful moments are the most fleeting.

Always a good time to run a Bitcoin node, but right now feels perfect. 8% synced and counting. Onward!

GM Nostr! Espresso must flow…especially for parents with a newborn.

GM Nostr! Foggy and slow morning after the rain last night.

Mid-day pick me up…

I’ve spent most of my time on X just scrolling, but I’ve been off it for nearly two weeks and don’t miss it one bit. Nostr captures that raw, early Twitter energy: no algorithm, no ads, no bots, no manufactured engagement. I never cared for Instagram or the Meta ecosystem, it’s always felt too curated. I think it’s time to make #Nostr my exclusive platform.

GM Nostr! The new month with endless possibilities is upon us. Seize the week!

Anyone running full Bitcoin Core + Core Lightning (c-lightning) on OpenBSD? I’m going to compile both on yet another ThinkCentre M715q Tiny secured this weekend. What Lightning client are you using? #selfhosting #bitcoin #openbsd #lightningnetwork

What a productive day. I’ve been so impressed with what Nostr can do that I just deployed a private relay on OpenBSD. It’s not exactly plug-and-play, setting it up on a fresh OS requires some manual tweaking and configuration. But it’s absolutely worth it for the end result: complete data sovereignty. Here’s the OpenBSD stack I’m running: • pf Firewall: Only ports 22 (rate-limited), 80, and 443 exposed • relayd: Automatic SSL/TLS management & traffic splitting • httpd: NIP-05 verification & static site hosting • Private Nostr Relay: Fully isolated and managed via rcctl Tightly locked down and fully independent. Your Nostr notes truly belong on your own server. #Nostr #OpenBSD #PrivateRelay

Fibonacci numbers encoded in petals and spirals are a literal fingerprint of the Creator. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?" (Job 38:5)

Nothing hits exhausted newborn parent like an espresso in the morning
