Built mine because how bad openwebui is. so many features didn't work and they rejected PRs to fix.

Working in bitcoin is a blessing and a curse. It's amazing but it wears you down much faster. Bitcoin can sometimes feel like a chore or just a job and no longer a passion. My beliefs about bitcoin haven't changed but thinking about bitcoin literally 24/7 will eventually make you not want to think about it at all.

"Steelman" is correct. Like, you're building a man made of steel. It's the opposite of "strawman".

Damn my joke didn't hit lol

I don't really see the use case you're looking for here

Spend all and close simultaneously does not exist AFIAK. But nowadays a lot of implementations support the option for 0 reserve channels. We just added it to LDK!

Had 2 steaks while in Germany. One was steak frites, the other this ribeye, however the ribeye was Australian wagyu so not a totally fair evaluationm

Overall 6/10, nothing special but I enjoyed the steak more than I have in other European countries.
