#plebchain #asknostr I have a shitty ISP that caps my data at 1.2TB per month. I installed a great router that keeps really good accounting of my activity on the LAN, and my #umbrel node eats data like a fat man at Golden Corral. Upon review of the node, it’s easily maxed out on connections and no upper limits of data served. How to reign it in? Putty/SSH to your umbrel using your credentials for the host, in my case, it’s running on a fairly beefy Dell laptop. Navigate to ~/umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin and nano bitcoin.conf. On the first blank line (use down arrrow) type: maxuploadtarget=500 (the number is in MiB and adjust it as necessary for your situation) maxconnections=35 (the number here is the number of connections allowed - bitcoind will adjust the types of connections in a ratio) Hit CTRL-X and Y and restart your node with the command ~/umbrel/scripts/app restart bitcoin Yes, it deprives the network of resources you have, but saves you from thanklessly donating to your favorite shitfuck wokeass ISP. Namaste 🤙🏻⚡️🧘

Hey #plebchain 👋 Can we get some love for animal and bee husbandry advocates? 🤙🏻⚡️👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 @npub16eum...t6jc

Just when I was feeling kinda zen-ish… @npub1qrty...c6q7 reposts something from Twitter and tRiGgErEd! View quoted note →

I’d say that this is a pretty fair assessment - no Twitter, no Trigger. Pura Vida. 🤙🏻⚡️🧘 View quoted note →

I love this: “Any ideas how it’s done?” We are so, so early. #bitcoin #lightning #plebchain View quoted note →

Morning thoughts? "Wealth does not consist in having great possessions, but in having few needs." — Epictetus It takes years of training, harder than lifting heavy or long time preference, to wield the power of having few needs and enjoying the freedom it affords you.

Ok, fine. I’ll say it for once, GM/PV 🌞🤙🏻⚡️ #plebchain #coffeechain #nostrians

Name a technology that died too soon to fulfill it’s potential: I’ll start: The Apple Newton MessagePad - the Newton 2100 (last iteration) was truly a great device - before Steve Jobs killed it.

Friends, Nostrians, #plebchain denizens! @ICQ @npub1qg8j...24kw Shower thought tonight: Today, satoshees/bitoshis are tip money. I, and others don’t think much about having 100k or more sitting in a custodial, mobile hot wallet (the triple play of risk) that every true #bitcoin ‘er cringes thinking about. The bear market is likely over, and I, for one, think we are going 3x and beyond next cycle. What this means is that those satoshees/ bitoshis are no longer going to represent fun money, but valuable and useful amounts, deserving of more respect than exposing them to loss needlessly. What this also means is that there is a huge opportunity for an enterprising hardware wallet producer/developer to be the first to give our sats/bits the protection they deserve. I’m looking at the fast improving Jade and industry leading Coldcard as the two HWWs poised to serve this emerging need. Who’s going to step up to the plate? My body is ready for the first hardware wallet that serves Lightning users and evangelists. Plebs, let’s let NVK and Adam know that we see the need.

Gotta try this lifehack - maybe add some kosher salt to the mix for a delightful bonus? View quoted note →
