still prefer numers to redeable username, feels more anonymous.

Having an identity is not the same thing as not being anonymous. You can have an identity and still be anonymous.

It would be great to set some browser caching headers on those images, currently those seem to refetched every time - at least from what I can tell. Does S3 have a setting for that?
Does the image URL change when user uploads a new version? If yes, then you could essentially cache those forever:
It would also probably be good idea to gzip (or ideally brotli) those images on response ;)

Also added 16m sat outbound channel to the node today ... mempool is still binanced, so might be awhile to get confirmed.

Just pushed a fix. Turned out to be an issue where jobs sat payment records are numerous and my query wasn't specific enough to filter them out ... so lots of records were getting scanned that didn't need to be = lots of time.

For the weekend, SN saw the highest Unique Visitors of any prior weekend, and both Saturday and Sunday individually saw the highest unique visitors, each.
Saturday: 869
Sunday: 1,039 (25% higher than the previous high for any Sunday)
https://plausible.io/stacker.news?period=month&date=2022-05-16 <-- Use the "prev" arrow to see daily prints for prior months
Not sure why the burst of weekend activity, usually on weekends the numbers dip. Is there a relationship between price volatility and visitor traffic?

Does anyone know how if it's possible to send to a Lightning Address using Ride The Lightning? I can't seem to find the right way to do it (without creating an invoice).
