 How does this work? 
 USDC is e-cash backed by the number one shitcoin in the world. 
 I don't even know what microstrategy does other than stack sats and develop dids on bitcoin.

 I would totally zap this.

 Try it. 
 What do you all think about PopOS!?

 How did that happen?

 I made a tutorial a while back, but it's outdated. I should do another one. 
 It works best on a desktop. 
 To be fair, I'm better with a keyboard and mouse than my phone.

 That makes me want to go back to using bittorrent for studio movies. 
 Are there any Swifties on here? 
 A what? 
 Had a conversation about Bitcoin at the bank today with a teller and a banker. It is possible. 
 How did that go? Asking as someone who has hated banks for over two decades. 
 Last month, four of my computers broke down.(One was my wife's)

I fixed two of them, but now I'm buying three more. 

'I'm thinking about refurbishing a couple old computers and selling them on nostr.

 
 They're just old.

-  I had to upgrade Umbrel to a new OS.
- The RAM in my Optiplex running start 9 died.
- I had to replace the SSD in an 8 year old HP Desktop. 
 What do you got? 
 any good remedies for when you’re nervous ?

 That will make it worse. Try Kava Kava instead. You can find it in the herb section.

 All wars suck. 🤙 
 Sold 400k sats. Don't judge me, I got shit to pay for.  
 I used to pay my credit cards off with bitcoin every week. 
 I meant more as in, I got paid in bitcoin and paid my bills on Bitrefill. It changed the way I think about spending bitcoin.

I also spent $50 a month using the Shift card, but I used it like blow money instead of generational wealth. That was a mistake. 
 So how is all this Eth staking, tokens and contracts  not getting the hammer for money transmission? 
 Because they are unregistered securities, not money. 
 what's the vibe on nostr these days? who should I be following? 
 Login to unleashed.chat and ask what people you are following are talking about. Find stuff you're interested in and peruse the conversations to find people to follow.

 Congratulations. 
 This episode was 🔥

I began using Embassy OS on an old computer that just failed about a week ago.(RAM).

I'll fix it, but I'm buying a new one anyway because I want to support the team. Matt also said it's a good idea to keep one in a seperate location to protect oneself from loss of data. He makes a good point. 
 My wife said she's starting to buy $20 of bitcoin every month on the cash app because the little bit I sent her is worth a lot more. 
 Lol. There were a lot of fights in the early days, but NGU changes the conversation. Now I'm like I want to go 100% into bitcoin. She's like, how the hell will we buy the dip? 
 I eat about 150 carbs a day. 

What is super low carb? Sub 100?  
 Thanks.  
 And here I thought a thousand sats was 67¢. 
 Does anyone have a discount code for Umbrel Home?

#ask nostr 
 I want to get both a start 9 and Umbrel. 
 I run it myself now on an old OptiPlex, but want to upgrade my hardware. I might save a few bucks doing it myself, but I don't mibd supporting businesses on the bitcoin standard. 
 Why 6 months? 
 It broke a few months ago. I fixed it. It broke again after the update so I fixed it.  I'm a glutton for punishment. 
 I  start9 for about  two years, but my RAM died so I either need to replace it or buy a new machine.  I use this to run my full node and host my blog over TOR. 

I use Umbrel for Home Assistant, Mealie, and Jellyfin(mostly non bitcoin related software, but I also use it for LNbits)

I run both because I like apps from each one. It's easier to run stuff over clearnet with cloudflare-tunnel on Umbrel, but Start9 is easier to manage.

Is there an easier way to host Start9 apps over clearnet?







 
 I've heard. I need to get better at TOR reverse proxy stuff. 
 Any of you ever talk to your close buds and get the feeling they have bitcoin but don’t want to... 
 I thought peer 2 peer was pretty cool in college.

Now I think it's fundamental to a free and open Internet. 
 Have you tried keet?

` 
 Matt Hill has some of the most interesting podcasts.

He talks about all kinds of cool cypherpunk shit. 
 So does unleashed.chat.

Here's the answer it gave me to the same prompt:

Tell me about Daniel Batton's article on Bitcoin mining helping the environment


Unleashed

Daniel Batton's article titled "Bitcoin Mining: A Green Revolution?" discusses how Bitcoin mining could potentially contribute positively to the environment by utilizing excess renewable energy resources that would otherwise go unused. The article highlights that as more renewable energy sources come online, there will be periods when they produce more power than needed by consumers. In such cases, Bitcoin mining could serve as a useful way to consume this excess power without causing additional harm to the environment. By doing so, it could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-based power generation sources. However, it's essential to note that this perspective has been debated by other experts who argue that Bitcoin mining still consumes significant amounts of energy overall.

 #asknostr

is there a nostr based video upload - download - storage client and relay ? 
 I store the videos on nostr.build though. 
 Nailed it...

Next time I'll try 5 minutes. 
 350° for 10 minutes is the sweet spot.

 You were right. It was the boot sequence.
