You never appreciate power until you lose it, and you have to drive 20 miles to get 15 gallons of water For the freaking toilet, and washing dishes. We luckily have a generator to keep the fridge on. Propane for the stove, but no power for the well pump. Yay!

We got our 11 gigahertz link back up and running. Our client had to wait a couple of weeks because we were waiting for the airfiber 11 to come back in stock. During that two-week period they were on the backup link so they weren't full bandwidth but they were online at least. It's doing 500 mbps up and down like it's supposed to and our clients are happy so we're happy.

Here's a clip from Self-Hosted giving you a quick primer of how the Lightning Network works in junction with Bitcoin. They go into much more depth if you want to listen to the full episode, but this will get you a rough idea of how it works. But overall, this is a very good way to not only pay for podcasts in the podcasting 2.0 network in the form of boosts and zaps, but this should also be a way to start also funding developers and the open source ecosystem as well. https://fountain.fm/clip/Wc7ZlKmmfAoLrotmeX6k

@npub1zlrn...h0fa Looks like I can follow ya now. I guess when #fountain.fm basically became a Nostr Client, they also became a verification site too? I'll try boosts when I'm able to purchase sats. Nostr is pretty cool concept wise, just weird and very linuxy difficult wise to setup.

Okay so I'm trying @openvibe@mastodon.social as my primary client on my Android that way I can post to both my Mastodon and my Nostr accounts. I would like to find a similar app for Linux as well so if any of ya have suggestions, I'm all ears.

I think I got things setup, but I'm having trouble following anyone including you @Chris Fisher. I'm using Alby to login to primal, but I don't know what else to do at this point.
