Updated instructions for running latest BIP-110 v0.3. Standard version of Knots is run by default. https://github.com/QC-Labs/orange-lab/blob/main/components/bitcoin/bitcoin-knots/bitcoin-knots.md#custom-images

I might have broken Kimi K2.5 😅

Hiding malicious instructions in an html comment is bad! But you can use an image's alt text instead and that's totally fine.

Simple way to check if your VPN connection works correctly

That is so cool! Just managed to set it up and even got the agent to create SSH key so it could download repo. What would be really helpful is copy/paste as I had to tell it to save the public key in /mnt/shared/Download so it could be added to GitHub. Now if we can get Whisper setup for speech recognition that would be something

Well that was awkward. Nothing says "welcome back" like applying for a bank account and getting rejected... Reason? "We're not required to give you a reason". Was it the questions about digital currencies? Or giving a Proton alias instead of real email because I don't like my data being abused by your marketing department? I'll never know because apparently it's now legal for banks to discriminate for any reason. BTW there are quite a few companies creating user ratings of all sorts and it's already used by banks so this whole " social credit score" from China is already implemented worldwide. Don't worry, you'll be fine as long as you do what you're told... I guess we're entering a phase where you have to behave in an approved way to access the financial system. Given how hopelessly corrupt this system is, I must he doing " something" right 😆

Build on protocols, not products. OSS is the way

Alright, let's get this European adventure started! It's been way too long without mobility. Who's up for a catch up? Gotta run some miles...I mean kilometers 😁

Time to earn that @OrangeLab name! Just added Bitcoin module with support for running Bitcoin full node and Electrum server to connect your wallets privately. You can also switch between Core and Knots implementations at any point while using same underlying storage. Thanks for @BTCPay Server for the core/knots docker images and @Umbrel ☂️ for maintaining Electrs image! Commands: pulumi config set bitcoin-knots:enabled true # or pulumi config set bitcoin-core:enabled= true pulumi up # wait for node to sync, then pulumi config set electrs:enabled true pulumi up Wait for Electrs to index the blocks, then use "electrs:50001" to configure your wallet software. If you also have MinIO (S3 storage) component enabled then daily incremental backups will happen automatically.

This release adds AMD GPU support, auto-detection of GPU nodes (NVidia and AMD) and lots of improvements to how storage is handled, like attaching existing volumes and automatic daily incremental backups.

Running Knots...and Core every second day. It sure is nice when the underlying storage is compatible. Automate all the things! @OrangeLab
