Over the last few weeks, my roommate and I decided to get a Bambulabs A1 Mini. For me, I've gotten into Painting figures. So I found and bought this model from printedobsession. I did a couple of other prints but one pissed me off (kept breaking it) and threw it across the room shattering it. Oops.. Anyways that what I've been up to these last few weeks. That includes holidays with the family. 😊 image
You know an awesome feature for nostr? If we can get something like the split kit that's used for podcasting. That way if we share music or other forms of content we can add them to the split and every time our post would get zapped they would get cut too. That would line up with the value for value philosophy for podcasting 2.0 and since we don't have ads or algorithms would give content creators another source of income in the from of residuals basically. Activity pub in general should just support zapping too but that's probably gonna be a harder hill to climb.
I never going to recommend netgear ever again. They're starting to enforce having to have accounts connected to the router. After two factory resets and a bunch of form posts later I was able to figure out how to bypass it but that was a doozy.
Seeing Bitcoin break the $100k USD barrier is an amazing accomplishment. I've been on the fence for years but with current changes, I'm making an effort to participate in this community. I'll also make some changes on how I earn money and where to store it. Maybe also add this in the open-source community as well.
Happy Thanksgivings to all including those who don't live in the States!
@Mostr Bridge is there a way to claim a fediverse account and just mirror what I post on Nostr to Mastodon or vice a versa? Or do I need to setup @Ditto by Soapbox and just move my nostr keys and mastodon account on there?
Gosh the more I use bitcoin, the more I learn that I most services I use, offer paying with Bitcoin... So I will probably be going that route first. I'm also think about hosting a Wallet for MyPaint Community as well. Open Collective used to offer Bitcoin donations, but sunset that a long time ago. My only issue is that I want the transactions to be just as transparent as it is on Open Collective. Just thinking....
Trying out @Wavlake on android. Like the music experience. I just wish there was a way to share music/podcast information between them, @Podverse and @Fountain to make it truely decentralize. Nostr seems like a good idea cause they could have their own relays and just exchange the info if needed. Idk. At least I can bridge Nostr and Mastodon with @Ditto by Soapbox I'll have to set up my own server, but I think it might be doable.
I also ended up subscribing to Alby Cloud. I tired to load Alby hub on my Raspberry Pi but kept running into roadblocks. Probably once I get my nextcloud server going, I will take a look into it again. Also tip for those who are getting started, you can use fountain or primal to get the necessary sats to get started but the with the first channel opening, it might not work. I ended up transferring the sats to the alby shared wallet first then pay it via the extension. I then connected it to my alby account to transfer the remaining sats over. I wish it was a bit more simpler but now I understand why it is a chore. Also Chris what are your thoughts about using PayPal to buys sats and transfering it over to alby? After my fiasco with River, I forgotten PayPal offers buying Bitcoin as well. I'm a Washington resident too so would that affect me tax wise? View quoted note →
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!
