Went full #nixos on my day-to-day. I was braced for a hard adjustment, yet it was the easiest and cleanest Linux install I've ever done. Machine (ASUS Zenbook) is working like a dream, touchscreen, gestures, ports sound, everything. Snappy af. Now whenever I need a new machine I can just pull my config from a repo and restore, fetching all the apps I use. Theres no going back to Debian/Arch. Reproducible, declarative system builds for the win!

OpenSats' role is to identify and support popular FLOSS Bitcoin and Nostr projects that need resources to improve, not to impose a personal, ideological, or strategic agenda on the direction of Bitcoin or Nostr. The moment it starts doing that, it becomes a central point of failure, and one that SHOULD be challenged. View quoted note →

This is the opposite. It's a display of integrity that Will cannot be bought. There is PLENTY wrong with OpenSats that should be challenged. The idea that applicants should simply be grateful and never question it is itself corrupt. Having spent the last week surrounded by high-signal Bitcoin/Nostr people, the skepticism towards Opensats is widespread, regardless of how "grateful" Opensats feels everyone should be. Reform is needed or else wider community will see it as a net negative rather than positive. View quoted note →

BREAKING ECB announces new 600bn note To celebrate, Prague 600bn party (June 11th) will be rammed with live bitcoin music, djs, bands. No vip nonesense (profits go back to artists).

600 Billion Prague Party

Live music, sets & DJs at Fuchs 2, Praha 7. Bands, sites acts and DJs all night long.

From a cost/reward perspective, replacing CEOs, VPs, VCs, and highly paid managers with AI arguably makes the most sense. They're low-output/compute roles, usually done poorly and at eye-watering expense.

I'm so proud of my good friend Max Hillebrand for completing such an excellent book. Max is a true cypherpunk, deeply respected within the Austrian School and one of the nicest humans i know. The comment he wrote within left a tear in my eye.

Strudel no.3. White cheese strudel with vanilla ice cream and a slice of orange.

Gm. Brekkies an apple Strudel in Vienna 👌

Getting @lnbits POS devices set up at Welt Raum Bar Vienna for a @btcplusplus social event 🚀 It’s a new bar that decided to accept #bitcoin from the get-go. #bitcoiners unite. Join us! Doors open at 7:30pm 🍸

Damnit, PayPal closed our account we used for our my.lnbits.com SaaS subscriptions. Stripe did the same. Being bitcoin "adjacent" was enough, even though we are just spinning up software. I hate fiatland so much, we are spoiled making bitcoin things without trusted third parties. Will Square be less irrational @jack ? We started adding Square support to LNbits, and will use for software subscriptions.

LNbitsPoS now supports native silent printing and cash validation. This PoS is all I use in my own shop. Overview/setup guide covering all the features: ✅ Lightning / Onchain / Fiat / Cash ✅ Silent printing ✅ ATM mode ✅ Improved pairing & setup

Social serfdom: when your relationships, audience, and speech only exist at the grace of a platform.

Im no royalist, but Charlie's speach was a masterclass. If WW3 doesnt happen, historians could very well credit his speach as the influence that swayed Trump to be more moderate. Standing ovations from both sides of the aisle for Ukraine, Nato and the enviroment. Lots of historical context stuff on actions/consequences. All without antagonizing Trump 👌
