This "drama", I will involve myself in. @Start9 is a fantastic company helping ANY of us willing to take back self-sovereignty I can personally vouch for @Bitcoin Mechanic back in the day, helping me to get my server stabilized after a hard drive issue that my semi-tech savvy self couldn't solve. Giving customers quality assistance is ALWAYS invaluable and NOBODY OWES YOU ANYTHING. Be the change you want to see. Support the companies you value, walk away from the ones you don't. Simple. Nobody that truly values what self-hosting can bring to the table will argue the immense value proposition for a measly-ass, hundred cuck-bucks. That is all.

A great presentation from Denver Bitcoin Devs a few weeks ago. Currently reading Roberts book - The Bitcoin Miners Almanac. 👍

Great day to get some sunshine on the farm.

One thing I feel def seperated from a lot of the Nostr community on is this strange feeling worshipping of Donald Trump. I can understand the argument of some sort of 'rebel' attitude towards many things in life, but I cannot comprehend believing that he will be any sort of real benefit to nearly any aspect of our lives. With that being said, I'm not a fan of the democratic party and their candidate either, but it's really weird to me. Almost like I'm watching people lapping up the charade when I wouldn't expect that from a lot of folks in this space. That is all. Carry on please. 😂 #UnpopularOpinionIsUnpopular

Across my gaming journey through the years, the one gane that has my heart is Warframe. If you haven't played it - Warframe is essentially portraying a "Space Ninja" so to speak albeit with numerous other twists and turns I would encourage anyone to explore and check out on their own. Yesterday I reached a "True Master" level, which in game essentially means I have played quite a bit over the span of a decade, but what I realized is that I LOVE helping other players. Helping a new player by answering a question, helping them complete an activity they may be stuck on - or even gifting them an item in game that I know they likely need - or will. No other game I've ever tried, harbours such a positive community and the feedback loop is wonderful for people like myself that prefer to put our time and energies into things that create good. Just my random thoughts from a gamer heading into 2024's hibernation season with Mother Nature. 💁‍♂️ #Gamestr

Bit the bullet today and parked it in front of my computer long enough to understand the missing puzzle-pieces and gaps in my Lightning Network comprehension. Opened my own node / channel and am moving right along. Next step will be to "Verify" myself on Nostr and a few other tweaks along the way. ⚡️

Two nights of sleep in the book - adjusting well to the shikibuton. My only challenge of sorts was figuring out the proper level of blanket to use. My kakebuton is super high-quality but almost too warm even with temperatures beginning to dip at night. Switched to a regular cotton blanket a bit thinner and felt way better last night. All in all I'm excited to see what changes if anything, but also just happy to get rid of the clustered feeling of a large bed.

Alright. A full day of cleaning / downsizing my living space. The shikibuton and kakebuton are aired out, and soaked up some sunshine and fresh air for the day. No, I'm not laying these on top of my shite mattress / bed, that's all been taken down and stored away. Also, covers or whatever they may refer to as sheets for these have been added so that they get some protection. Excited to try out some floor sleeping.
