Free advice for anyone who has a newsletter:
if you want to expand your audience, write in a way that your subscribers can forward it on to their sister, uncle and friends.
I'm not going to call anyone out by name, but if you have a bunch of assumptions built in, know that it is limiting your reach.
I've seen multiple examples where I wanted to forward it along, but it just wouldn't resonate with the average person.
If you're just interested in preaching to choir, then you should ignore this advice. It's probably plently profitable to cater to your base.
The real question is why do you do it? Is it because you want to make a real impact, or for the money?
Either is fine, just make sure you're hitting what you're aiming for. Or don't. It's your call.

Want to see wider adoption so Bitcoin can be used as digital cash and not just an investment vehicle.

If you think bitcoin is the only way to beat inflation, you might want to do your own research.
If you're running around telling everyone bitcoin is the only way to beat inflation... please stop, for everyone's sake, but most of all, for yours.
@npub1n7pc...9qu4 I got your DM and replied, but I'm not sure if it made it to you.
I'll hit you up again on our other comms system.
I also need to update LNBits, because it always says paents succeed, when when the underlying light ing node tells LNBits that the payment failed.
No point in reporting this until I'm on the latest release.
I'm glad I have a backup wallet for when my self-hosted one fails while I'm out and about. (I'll check the logs tomorrow to see if I can figure out why).
I also had cash money on me in case both failed. Can't have too many backups.
TL;DR This doesn't affect self-hosters unless you have an AWS data source.

This type of vulnerability is also why you might want to use the blackbox exporter instead of running an agent on every machine that your grafana server can access. It limits the damage in the event grafana ever does get compromised.
Ingredients: apples (pink lady), cinnamon

Apple chips are done! 😋


Do realize that this is an opinion piece, not a real news article. Still... 👀

The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it | Fortune
The Government Accountability Office can't even verify the books. Here's what Congress must do.
Apples were on sale today, so our monthly grocery budget is now completely shot.
The upside is that if I get these all washed cored, sliced, seasoned and dried, we should be set on cinnamon apple chips for the year.

Users hate it, but age-check tech is coming. Here's how it works.
On-device face scans and cross-platform age keys decrease privacy risks, but trust issues abound.
PSA: 1/4 tsp of @kidwarp's bitpaste is too much for 24 fl oz of cola. It was tasty, but wow, what a kick in the face (you know, in a good way)
Maybe an 1/8th tsp would be suitable. Will try that recipe next.
@beejay the link to buy your cookbook doesn't seem to work anymore. Can I just zap you for it?

Why can't I find a site that lets me enter a lightning address and get:
1. a QR code with a lightning bolt on it,
2. text below the QR code and some text that says something like "pay using the lightning network" or "donate via lightning"
In an appropriate format to download and print out on glossy 4x6" photo paper and attach to the wall or desk.
Has nobody thought of this before? Do people not have the art skills to make this happen?
These are the types of practical things that lightning advocates should be making easy.
