Due to @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM ๐ 's relentless Windows trash-talk, I gave an old Macbook Pro a chance .. and it's glorious.
Now, it's time to get a proper one, but what is the better deal? #asknostr
Setting up the Umbrel Home I got myself for Christmas since my DIY Raspberry Pi node kept killing its firmware SD card. I still find it 'magical' that you can buy a few hundred dollar device & become a sovereign node runner of the greatest monetary network humanity has ever seen.
People whining about bad #Bitcoin user experience should do a few international bank transfers .. I'm trying to receive a payment for my 3D printed baby helmets from a Brazilian customer to my German bank account and the experience is absolutely horrific .. what an archaic system.
Any tips where to find a web-dev-bitcoin freelancer?
I want to develop a sophisticated custom-build website for my baby helmet startup. I'd like to hire a web dev freelancer that's also a Bitcoiner .. don't want to explain why it ain't no scam once we implement #Bitcoin payments & tipping. Any ideas on how to find these rare specimen? #asknostr
AGI is NOT around the corner .. personally confirmed it by spending 10 hours trying to build a relatively easy Excel functionality & failing pathetically .. sure, that's also due to my stupidity but if the AGI doomsday overlord was around the corner these LLMs should easily be able to compensate my incapabilities.
My #bitcoin node keeps killing its micro sd cards every other month. Is this normal? #asknostr
It's somewhat infuriating having to flash Umbrel on a new sd card every time I start my node to do a consolidation transaction. What am I doing wrong?
What's the best iPhone 'deep storage' wallet setup for my turbo non technical friend? #asknostr
Before you come at me .. there is nooo way he would get sth like a coldcard. Blud doesn't even have online-banking. He has been listening to me talk about #Bitcoin for 5 years and now he wants to stack some Sats.
What he cares about:
- holding his own keys
- easy to understand & use for non technical person
- long term saving
What he cares not so much about:
- doing cheap regular payments
I was thinking about Phoenix but I'm not sure if it's safe/reasonable to have several thousands of dollars in a lightning channel on your phone? Is there a 'deep storage' hot wallet which is only focused on onchain transactions that might be safer than Phoenix?
Let's say he stacks 20k USD of Sats. Maybe 1k on Phoenix (to play around & learn about Bitcoin transactions) & 19k in the 'deep storage' phone wallet? .. maybe do a Bitkey setup for the 19k? .. any suggestions fellow plebs.
Would appreciate an assesment from king @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM ๐ ?
Blud is unaware, that Keynesians' gospel-like worhsip of their own economic 'mOdeLiNg' does significantly more harm to humanity than people taking their clothes off.

Nostr on mobile data is soo scary. Reminds me of my old Sony Ericsson phone where you'd be financially ruined if you accidentally clicked the internet button.
Any tips on how to reduce data usage?
