In playing with and exploring #bitcoin #node implementations again there seems to be two that offer the most bang for your bitcoin. Those two are @npub126nt...e9ll or @Umbrel ☂️ . The key differences I see are that Start9 offers better hardware and Umbrel offers more out of the box software "apps." The pre-built Start9 is more expensive, but again, better hardware. Both offer a DIY guide with recommended hardware. I like the sound of Start9 for my personal sovereign stack and Umbrel to play fast and loose with new projects and tools, or maybe run a meet up node. Any critiques or feedback on this general opinion of the two? #asknostr PS @npub1r29m...23pd, @/rootzoll & Nodl get honorable mentions, but just didn't have all of the "apps" I wanted available, namely @Public-Pool and @Robosats.

Trying out #MyNode instead of #Umbrel. Anyone care to share thoughts?

Hedonic adaptation 🤔

I'm looking for inspiration on how to organize and set up my "tech closet." I want to be organized and take up less of the closet shelf space, ideally wall mounted? I'd like to include, modem, router, UPS, switch, two NUCs and two nodes with space to grow. Any thoughts, photos, etc? #asknostr #tech #homeserver #node #HA #server #homeassistant #help #inspiration

Quiet life

Baking apron is ON tonight

Spending the long weekend prepping for our son :)

The trails in NWA are something special. #Arkansas #NWAR #Fay

Trying out my first Audio Book today. Made me think, is there a NOSTR client for this?

Looking at housing prices around NWA tonight and I can assure you that you're better off stacking sats.

@SoapMiner do you have any with exfoliation??

Going out to the farmers market today. I'll ask each vendor if they'll accept sats and likely be turned down, but persistence is key.

I love that bitcoiners in our community are all patiently optimistic

My dog is napping and her tail is wagging. She's living the best life

Its the best time of the year Spring weather ☀️ Students have left town 💯 Work remote 💻 Coffee on the patio ☕ Dogs hanging 🐶

I've been working on refinishing my crib (that my parents held onto for all these years) our son to use. Its been a tedious project, but nearly complete!

Cooking up bacon, eggs and blueberry pancakes while she enjoys her tea and a crossword. Love that it's our first time celebrating her for Mothers Day, and we are doing it like we're eighty.

Spring Saturday choring with my wifey. Good times on the best days. 🙂
