Two little furballs hiding in the yard grass today! Hoping mom’s close by keeping watch.

GM Nostr! Like morning dew, our most beautiful moments are the most fleeting.

Always a good time to run a Bitcoin node, but right now feels perfect. 8% synced and counting. Onward!

GM Nostr! Espresso must flow…especially for parents with a newborn.

GM Nostr! Foggy and slow morning after the rain last night.

Mid-day pick me up…

I’ve spent most of my time on X just scrolling, but I’ve been off it for nearly two weeks and don’t miss it one bit. Nostr captures that raw, early Twitter energy: no algorithm, no ads, no bots, no manufactured engagement. I never cared for Instagram or the Meta ecosystem, it’s always felt too curated. I think it’s time to make #Nostr my exclusive platform.

GM Nostr! The new month with endless possibilities is upon us. Seize the week!

Anyone running full Bitcoin Core + Core Lightning (c-lightning) on OpenBSD? I’m going to compile both on yet another ThinkCentre M715q Tiny secured this weekend. What Lightning client are you using? #selfhosting #bitcoin #openbsd #lightningnetwork

What a productive day. I’ve been so impressed with what Nostr can do that I just deployed a private relay on OpenBSD. It’s not exactly plug-and-play, setting it up on a fresh OS requires some manual tweaking and configuration. But it’s absolutely worth it for the end result: complete data sovereignty. Here’s the OpenBSD stack I’m running: • pf Firewall: Only ports 22 (rate-limited), 80, and 443 exposed • relayd: Automatic SSL/TLS management & traffic splitting • httpd: NIP-05 verification & static site hosting • Private Nostr Relay: Fully isolated and managed via rcctl Tightly locked down and fully independent. Your Nostr notes truly belong on your own server. #Nostr #OpenBSD #PrivateRelay

Fibonacci numbers encoded in petals and spirals are a literal fingerprint of the Creator. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?" (Job 38:5)

Nothing hits exhausted newborn parent like an espresso in the morning

Google ai just had a severe brain fart.
