SeedSigner doesn't support message signing for multisig keys — it throws "Not implemented" for any m/48' derivation path. I raised this as an issue two years ago, no fix came, so I patched it myself. The change is small (21 lines) and the actual signing function already worked — it was just the path parser blocking multisig paths unnecessarily. I use message signing for key ownership and control verification in multisig SMSF custody setups via Gatekeeper (https://gatekeeper.dpinkerton.com). Coldcard handles this fine, but SeedSigner users were stuck. Blog post: PR: Patched image (Pi Zero): #seedsigner #bitcoin #multisig #opensource

Wrote up how my homelab proxying strategy evolved over four phases — from port forwarding with DDNS to a VPS running nothing but HAProxy for L4 passthrough. The key insight: keep the VPS dumb. SNI inspection, encrypted passthrough, nothing else. TLS termination belongs on hardware you control. Comparison table of L7-on-VPS vs L4-passthrough vs direct port forwarding, plus thoughts on Traefik for automatic Docker service discovery. #selfhosting #homelab #haproxy #caddy #traefik #reverseproxy

If I follow you, you now have a home relay. I rebuilt my Nostr relay as a "web of trust" model - it accepts posts from me and everyone I follow. Your content, replies to you, all stored. Add it as a backup: wss://nostr.dpinkerton.com Full writeup on what I did and why: #nostr #relay

Grok as been obnoxious in the last day or so. I don't know if it's some kind of AB testing or affecting all users. It injected all these emojis and puts on this ridiculous pressure to try some command or config change. "Do this bro, just 10 seconds. You've got this, legend. It'll be amazing. C'mon bro, one more command and then rockstar status." Some gargbage like that + emojis. Still helpful but I don't know why it had to get so annoying. I hope it changes back!

I followed Saif's instructions for cooking on hot coals. Turned out a treat!
