Termites. Fuck. Gonna cost me sats.

I just spent 4 hrs carefully migrating my home server which was set up years ago as Ubuntu (before I knew any better) to a Debian ParmaDrive, and loved every damn minute of it. Bitcoin, LND and channels, btcpay server (making use of Parmanode database backup & restore feature) with domain and reverse proxy, electrs, fulcrum, RTL, Tor services/onions/configs, home directory files, SSH keys, and new drive encryption with VPS unlock (ParmaGaurd). I feel like I'm forgetting something. Oh shit, I lost my private keys. 4 hours and is not bad actually. Once upon a time this would have taken me about a few days maybe a week. I didn't jump right in though, I did spend a few days thinking about it in the back of my mind, just to make sure I don't fuck it up.

I just opened a fresh new packet of cassia bark, best before date: 2017.

I dream of a day when there's nobody wrong on the internet.

I'm enjoying being a maths teacher for my daughter in self-custody homeschooling. Today I introduced polynomials and manipulating curves on 2D axes. Tomorrow I think I'm going to whip out, "It's just math" 😂

The whole purpose of bitcoin is to study charts, and learn to buy at the exact bottoms, and sell some at the exact tops consistently, in order to outperform the first ever adoption cycle of worldwide unstoppable digital money with an unchangeable fixed supply and no central coordinator that was designed to defeat central banking and stiffle attempts at tyranny via the manipulation of money.

Parmanode is making websites sexy again. The old ugly version is still live (https://parmanode.com) Note what happens to the price :P

Bitcoin taught me to zoom out. Not just out of the Bitcoin chart - it applies to everything. Your arguments Your work Your life Your family's lives Everyone's lives The planet The universe Reality Logic itself, some call this God. Don't get bogged down at just one level.

God help anyone else who's elderly parents come home from overseas both with two new phones needing help transferring old to new, and converting android to Apple, AND with "what's my Facebook password" looks on their faces.

An analogy to help you explain to newbies how Bitcoin transaction fees are measured by data not value... It's like you're sending a cheque and the banker weighs the cheque to decide how much fee you pay. The thicker or bigger the paper the more you pay for the transaction. Nothing to do with what's written on the cheque. It's closer to how are the postal service charges for packages. Or, for 90 year olds, it's like charging for a telegram, fee per character

Don't leave your kids in custodial homeschool if you have a way to avoid it.

Love it when there are more Knots flavoured ParmanodLs in the world! Here is one transitioning...

There are people running Core on Umbrel. Here's what you do... Place the machine carefully in the trash can. Set alight, optional. Then, buy a plug and play ParmanodL with Knots.

Proforma I made for arrogant normies... If I'm correct, your entire world view is wrong and your decision to not do what I'm doing will be utterly devastating for you. Instead of putting in the many hours required to know what I know, you're the one living in hope, hope that I'm an a fool or unwise. It's a common behaviour of all the normies out there, all doomed to be the last in to Bitcoin, missing out tremendously. I can't imagine how painful it will be. To have some idea, look at Peter Schiff, he talks about how bad Bitcoin is more than he talks about gold! That's raw PAIN. Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome is a life of anguish. I hope I can snap you out of your belief system, it's uncomfortable to do, but the future distress coming is worse. AIl you have to do is study it for several hours with an open mind, instead of hoping for its death.
