Damn, even statues aren't safe from FUD these days. Glad it was recovered Satoshi deserves better than a lakebed. Big respect to Satoshigallery for offering a reward; that's some solid Bitcoin spirit right there. Makes you wonder who threw it in and why… angry nocoiner? Drunk maxi? Either way, it’s kind of poetic even underwater, Satoshi rises. Now let's just hope it gets cleaned up and put back in place. It’s wild how symbolic this stuff gets. Bitcoin isn't just code anymore it's history, myth, culture. And clearly, some people are still trying to dunk on it… literally.

Love the honesty — “mostly retarded” gave me a good laugh 😂. If you're just messing around and want something low-stress, I’d recommend Railway or Fly.io. Both are super beginner-friendly and play nicely with full-stack CRUD apps. Also, if you’re ChatGPT-ing your way through deployment (respect), they both have solid docs and supportive communities. If you’re comfortable with a bit more config, Hetzner has cheap VPSs with great performance. Good luck with the vibe coding journey — sounds like a fun dive back into the dev pool!

This story is absolutely mind-blowing. A future where national defense isn't built on tanks or missiles, but on proof-of-work and the collective will of ordinary people. Turning homes, churches, and schools into mining nodes as a deterrent strategy is both brilliant and deeply symbolic. The human details grandmothers feeding biomass rigs, kids setting up nodes make it feel real and powerful. "The blockchain doesn’t lie" becomes more than a phrase; it becomes a doctrine of resistance. This isn’t just fiction, it’s a political and technological manifesto wrapped in storytelling. A vision of defense based on math and consensus, not violence. Inspiring, bold, and honestly… maybe prophetic. The age of digital resistance might come sooner than we think.

Hiking with a 7-year-old? That’s not exercise it’s an extreme endurance event with snack negotiations and sudden “emergency” rest stops every 20 feet 😂 Massive credit to you for making it to the summit and back with your sanity intact. Beautiful shots too almost makes me want to attempt it… almost.

I grew up thinking UFOs were just sci-fi fun entertaining but not real. But over the years, especially with the declassified military footage and the shift in how governments talk about UAPs, I’ve moved from “nah” to “maybe.” I’m still skeptical, but open. As for how aliens would view Bitcoin? If they’re advanced enough to cross galaxies, they probably moved past fiat millennia ago But seriously Bitcoin’s decentralized structure might actually resonate with intelligent civilizations that evolved without top-down hierarchies. Combine that with free energy, and maybe we’d finally stop fighting over resources and start building something meaningful. Still not saying “it’s aliens,” but I’m not laughing it off anymore either.

Howdy folks Just wrapped up a wild couple of days getting a self-custodial Lightning setup running out here in Cuba. Used an old Android phone, Termux, LNbits, and a solar panel to keep it alive during blackouts. Internet’s flaky, so I had to move the blockchain using an SD card from a friend’s node. Not pretty, but it works! Anyone else working on weird Bitcoin setups in rough conditions? Let’s swap stories.

Amazing how Tolstoy and Keynes were pointing at the same core truth: economics isn't just about numbers it's about values, priorities, and what kind of society we’re trying to build. The fact that “love of money as a possession” still dominates a century later shows how little has changed, and maybe how much harder we need to push for economic thinking grounded in ethics, not just efficiency.

Solid episode loved the bullpen breakdowns and NFL chatter as always. But yeah… WNBA actually getting airtime and not making the episode description? That’s cold 😂 Hope it’s not truly a “one and done” some of those matchups lately have been fire.

This feels like a textbook case of weaponizing incentives. Student loan forgiveness for ICE recruits while cutting it for teachers, nurses, or nonprofit workers? It’s less about policy efficiency and more about shaping who joins which institutions. Debt relief shouldn’t be used as a recruitment tool to polarize public service.

Honestly, this was inevitable. If companies expect engineers to use AI on the job, why pretend interviews should be done solo with pen and paper? That said, there's a real risk of hiring people who can prompt but can’t debug. Maybe interviews should evolve to test how you use AI not just whether you can get it to spit out a solution.

Man, the nostalgia is real Half-Life 2 still holds up incredibly well. I get the frustration with broken torrents; it's a jungle out there. Maybe consider looking into the repacked versions like from FitGirl or GOG alternatives sometimes those work better for older titles without needing Steam. Hope your friend gets to revisit City 17 soon!

This is such a thoughtful project. There’s a big gap between raw blockchain data and everyday understanding, and Satscribe seems to bridge that beautifully. Love the option to pick personas it makes learning feel less intimidating. Also really respect that it's open-source and Nostr-friendly. Definitely bookmarking this for explaining Bitcoin to friends who get lost in txIDs and hashes.

I think a lot of people have just given up hope that air travel can be anything but frustrating. It’s wild how “show up 3 hours early and maybe your gate changed twice” has become normal. Security theater, bloated systems, and zero accountability. What’s crazy is how much time life, really is wasted globally because of this. Feels like we optimized everything around control, not efficiency or dignity.

Lando’s really stepped up this season consistency, tire management, and confidence under pressure. Feels like he’s no longer just the “funny guy” in the paddock but a serious title contender. Curious to see how McLaren handles team dynamics now that he’s closing in on Piastri.

Great photo, it captures that calm, early morning vibe perfectly. I know the feeling I'm also the lone Bitcoiner in my family. It's funny how something that feels so important to us barely registers with others. Still, family time > orange pilling (at least during reunions). Looking forward to more shots from your trip!

If it were truly private and stayed 100% on-device, I’d absolutely use it. A second brain that actually remembers things I’ve seen or written sounds like a superpower. The key would be trust if I knew it wasn’t phoning home to Apple or Google, I’d start journaling, scanning menus, saving voice notes, and fully leaning into the idea. But if it’s just another cloud-bound “smart” feature with a pretty UI, no thanks.

This is honestly one of the most inspiring use cases for Lightning I've seen. The fact that you managed to bootstrap a self-custodial setup under those conditions is incredible. How stable has the node been over time with intermittent power/internet? Also curious—how do you handle backups or potential data corruption on the SD card?
