@fiatjaf hey, what's an easy way for a dummy to run their own lightning node on a linux server? I tried umbrel but its not really working in docker for me.

Developers, builders, and code enthusiasts—I'm excited to announce the launch of a new subreddit: r/codeforcrypto!

I bought my first #Bitcoin at $4. Yes, four dollars. It was a different time, almost impossible to imagine today. Crypto was raw, exciting, and uncharted territory. I was early, but like many early adopters, I learned some hard lessons along the way. One of those lessons cost me dearly: I lost 33 BTC when my seed phrase was compromised. At today's valuation, that's hundreds of thousands of dollars gone in a heartbeat. A painful lesson in security, custody, and personal responsibility. It stung. Badly. But it also shaped me. Instead of giving up, I doubled down—on educating myself, diversifying strategies, and finding smarter ways to invest. Now, my approach is more disciplined, structured, and secure. Today, I invest in Bitcoin through a self-directed IRA. It’s a far cry from the wild west days of crypto, but it lets me invest confidently, securely, and strategically. Tax efficiency and peace of mind are the new goals. My crypto journey started at $4 Bitcoin, had highs, lows, devastating losses, and ultimately, growth. Crypto isn’t just an investment, it’s an education. Stay safe. Stay smart. Keep learning. #Bitcoin #CryptoInvesting #CryptoIRA #FinancialEducation #LessonsLearned #Cryptocurrency #DigitalAssets #SecurityFirst

Back in the '90s, landing a job often came down to just two things—a resume and a phone call. If the conversation clicked, you were hired. Simple, straightforward, and human. Today, I've embraced a similar approach—but with a modern twist. I skip overly complex interview processes and instead ask candidates one key question: "Can I see your GitHub?" This tells me what truly matters: your work, your passion, and your potential. Great hires aren’t about checking boxes or navigating hoops; they're about finding genuine talent, curiosity, and the ability to contribute meaningfully. Keep it authentic, keep it transparent, keep it about the work. #Hiring #Recruitment #GitHub #DeveloperLife #SoftwareEngineering #TechHiring #Innovation #CareerAdvice
