Thinking about the end of the world does not have to be dystopian. Think of [Cabo de Finisterra](

Kap Finisterre – Wikipedia

for example. Near where I live, there is a place called Tierfehd, which [Karl Kraus](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Kraus) once described, romantically, as the end of the world. He meant this in a positive sense: as the end of the hectic, socially surveilled, and unfree world.

Prepare for longer offline journey by downloading podcasts in #Fountain. Go offline. Works for a little while then I am kicked out and need to log back in. Is it just me or is Fountain online only?

Within 15 minutes, we added Bitcoin payments to an existing WooCommerce store using LNbits with the OnchainWallet and SatsPay extensions, offering the option to pay via lightning or on-chain. This is a fantastic display of perfect interplay between standard components 🤙

I am a fan of #Proxmox, but I think I headed into HA clusters naively. Based on what I know today, if your container or VM runs anything with time-critical data (such as a lightning node, databases in general, or complex Docker hosts), then automatic migration can be detrimental. On several occasions, I was happy to have a Proxmox Backup Server to fall back on. So, before configuring HA, shutdown, backup, start, test, and evaluate.

Coming back to this book ... which is an unexpected positive surprise for me. In the 1980s and early 1990s, I spent ten years studying biology and associated research technologies. Plants, animals, biochemistry, human physiology, spectrometry, microscopy, immunology, with a focus on cellular and molecular biology. Still, reading Nick Lane's book introduces me to essential concepts I have never heard before. And all of a sudden, I start to understand the struggles of a boomer economist in grasping the value proposition of Bitcoin. Firstly, the problems that Bitcoin solves were less prominent then, and secondly, the 80s are eons ago. View quoted note →

I have installed @SimpleX Chat smp server (using docker compose), and it seems to be running (finally). Is there a debugging/installation guide for getting the xftp service up and running (I used again the docker compose from the official installation guide). ChatGPT suggests I announce the xftp via the smp-server.ini file, but I cannot find any documentation on that, and it might as well be a hallucination. #simplex

My Bitcoin node infrastructure upgrade for 2025 is nearing completion. I know I promised a write-up on the particulars of the design. However, this would be such poor operational security that I would have to pass it up.

100pro agree to your comments on sponsors going south. V4V is the way. Love your show! I hope I find a way to just boost using straight forward lightning. Love my non-v2 podcasting app. https://fountain.fm/show/51hgGerqfMRRaqT5npXx

Working with ChatGPT is like working with an optimistic colleague who takes one step at a time and takes feedback really well. This is me and ChatGPT writing a little Rust program that calculates the final seedword for a set of 11 or 23. The draft was straightforward; if the code failed to compile, I would poke back and get these replies. It is funny how it would say, "You are slicing..." when the code was written by ChatGPT just five minutes ago. However, with a bit of tweaking, I got a working program. - Ah, good catch! That’s due to a change in the crate structure in the newer versions of bip39. The MnemonicType was moved or renamed. - Ah yes — another subtle change in the bip39 crate! - Ah! Got it — thanks for catching that. The issue here is that in the newer bip39 crate versions, Language is an enum, and its word list is not accessed via .wordlist() anymore. - Ah yes — this error means you're slicing a string (&bits[..entropy_bits_required]) at a character index that doesn’t exist. Let's break it down...
