 I played a show this weekend in Sacramento with Electric Ex. Probably the best show we've played. The crowd was incredible, sound was great, and we even had a light show!  

 I want Nostr to be a bit more diverse in terms of content I see when I log in. All bitcoin all the time is a bit exhausting. Let me see what I can do to tailor my feed. 

 Ahoy! You can now listen to Electric Ex's* debut EP on Wavlake! https://www.wavlake.com/album/184a7148-73b9-44fb-b1bb-232684ba2d8b #music

 Thanks to the help of the nice folks on the Jellyfin support forum I was able to figure out why my Jellyfin clients weren't fully loading all the media artwork. My hunch was that Nginx was fouling something up. Turns out I was right but it's actually the result of a Jellyfin bug. Here's the forum post for ref: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-solved-only-blurred-placeholder-images-being-displayed 

 Having second thoughts about running all my containers rootless. Container network access logs now only show the container's bridge network ip address as opposed to external ip addresses with connection requests. Makes it hard to implement fail2ban.

 Private relay seems to be working. Going to post a few things and see how notes propagate.  

 For some reason my Alby extension stopped working and I couldn't re-link it to my Alby account.  

 Today is a day of football and pozole.  

 Happy Friday! 

 Today I'm going to the local hw store to find a metal inscriber and some metal to inscribe my cold wallet seed. 

 If I wanted to set up a "private" nostr experience for a specific group of people could I just run a private relay and point their clients to it?  

 Bitcoind running. BTC RPC Explorer running. Electrs running. Onion routing enabled. All on my little Optiplex 7050. 

 Old Raspberry Pi B was collecting dust. Turned it into an offline cold wallet generator. 

 My wife baked cinnamon buns from scratch and made cream cheese frosting for said buns. I had1.5 buns slathered in frosting and a couple glasses of milk. So good. Immediately addicting.  

 Beautiful. Finally got my self-hosted site/blog up and running. See my profile for the link. (how do you create clickable links in nostr posts, anyway?).. For whatever reason it took me forever to get off my ass and set up a tls certificate which is what was stopping me from publishing a site. ---  Here's the stack: alpine linux, hugo, certbot, podman, nginx. Blog post about how I built the blog is forthcoming. off to divide by zero. 

 Interesting.. after my first post after nip-05 verification I received a couple DMs from what seem to be relays. One includes a service disclaimer. The other didn't include anything. They both have a long string that starts with "lnbc". 

 I have a free Spotify account - haven't had a paid one in years. Got tired of the algos and prefer the delight of finding new music in other corners. On the streaming services that I've experienced while looking through an artist's album catalogue often what is revealed is a scattered and sometimes false discography. 

 I have a linkfire account somewhere.. or was it some other link aggregator? either way, time to self-hoast that. 

 Jellyfin is set up. Haven't had Spotify in like 3 years so being able to stream my own curated library without algos yelling at me is just wonderful. Shoutout to Finamp too. Sweet app as well. 

 I have a tumblr account somewhere. 

 good night nostr 

 alright. self-hoasting my nostr.json. verification seems to be successful. 

 hello nostr
