In anticipation of your deep dive on AlbyHub, let me say that AlbyHub is a growing disappointment for me. I tried to create two self-hosted docker AlbyHub instances with the idea that I would experiment with custom channels between the two instances (to avoid the expensive/limited LSP's baked into AlbyHub). Wrong! It seems at every turn AlbyHub hides key technical details and config options from the UI in the name of "security/ease of use". Overiding the default web address for the web admin console with a secure tailnet IP address seems to break AlbyhHub's interaction with the external internet. AlbyHub is not an experimenter's dream, but more of a nightmare.

Here's an intetesting article I ran across on Nomadnet: 42bfb438810723c65fe196af59948600:/page/nip-05/kudzaikutukwa@freedom.tech/the-golden-encirclement.mu If you don't have Nomadnet, I think it is also posted here on Substack:

I vote for an audio format podcast. Video is HUGE data-wise. I download my queue of podcast content daily to the local storage on my #GrapheneOS phone. In this usage model I can stream content without a data connection, I never worry about storage, and my phone can stay in the cab of my truck while I walk around with bluetooth headphones enjoying TWIB and working at the same time! Thanks for producing the best podcast I've heard on the topic of Bitcoin and for doing it in a format focused on audio delivery.

I would like to see a deep dive on Alby Hub. A peek under the hood and some explanation of what the "user friendly" UI is hiding from a node operator. Maybe include some discussion on opening channels and the "why?" behind the limited number of LSPs offered through the Alby Hub UI. How does AlbyHub impact decentralization of the network? Discussion of Cloud vs. self-hosted AlbyHub instances.
