I get your analytics approach regarding materialized views + metabase. That makes sense.
Knowing that's what you are using I think you could appreciate some of the advantages of the approach I'm proposing. For instance, I'm kind of guessing you might be irritated by the fact that with Metabase is hard to version control and build with regular git ways of working (e.g. PR flows). Or not having clear dependency mapping regarding which dashboards rely on which tables of your backend, which means you might blow up some dashboard accidentally when working on the backend database.
Regarding internal/external, I think it could be used for any of the two really.
I could be interested in building hands-on.
What do you think about this:
- I make a standalone repo on github that showcases in a very stupid, hello-world grade way the approach while reading from some mock Postgres tables that resemble real tables from stacker.news.
- You take a look and see if it clicks in your mind.
- If you're interested, then we can discuss which serious, useful analytics internal use cases or page features this could be applied to. And open issues, discuss bounties and the like.
Should I want to DM you about this, what's the best place?
I'm thinking of something similar to a static site generator. You define s set of queries towards Postgres and visuals with code, check it into git, build it periodically. You can serve the pages publicly or keep them internal. All based on FOSS.
Don't, you might be able to recover them.

Theoretically, it can be. And practically, there probably is. There are many situations where this could make sense. For instance, big exchanges that support lightning would probably benefit from having a private LN among themselves to clear transfers between each other without "amateur" nodes in between (and also potentially keeping info private).
But the reality is there is no way to be sure if this is the case. If there's a subnet that is not connected to the "main" net, taking into account all the benefits that would derive from merging into it, it's probably because the operators have a strong incentive to keep things private and away from the public. In which case, we wouldn't know they exist, right?
The whole "The Lightning Network" idea falls in the same bucket as the "The Mempool" one.
For anyone reading and not understanding: there is no "the mempool". Each node has a different mempool.
Same with Lightning: any two lightning nodes are forming a network. There is one massive one that everyone and their mother plugs into because it's useful for their needs, but any pair of nodes can start a different network. There is an unknown number of private networks out there.
Spot on. It's amazing how we trick ourselves into the mindset that the future spans into infinity.
Any time I hear sentences such as "Doctor told him he's sick and he will probably die in some time", I can't help but think: "Yes, and water is wet".
For clarity, I DO NOT:
- Have a lot of BTC.
- Borrow fiat against it to pay for my expenses.
I do:
- Borrow fiat against... Nothing. Clown world :)
- Put it into BTC with the goal of maximizing the BTC I have.
A side-story: years ago I was having tea in Istambul with a turkish man and we were discussing on their culture around gold. I haven't been in India, but my distant observation is that both cultures work similarly (albeit India's focus is much higher). He then mentioned this habit that I found interesting. The man explained to me that, as everywhere in the world, is common for young men and women to ask their families for financial help in important moments such as buying a house or a car, or starting a business. What was original to me was the fact that, when such requests happen, discussions happen in grams of gold.
So a young turkish might walk up to her mother to ask for some help buying a car and directly say: "Could I borrow 10 grams from you?"
I'm guessing similar situations might take place there in India.
The US Federal Reserve is the heart of the fiat money printer. The closer you get there, the more benefit you get out of it.
- US citizens benefit more than other countries' citizens.
- People with close access to the US financial system benefit more than people who have little or no access to it.
- People who can easily get USD benefit more than people who have a hard time finding and/or holding them.
This applies both to borrowing and investing.
Some thoughts:
- You can only point people to things but not push. Doesn't work or will bring regretful situations.
- I've found pushing Bitcoin straight doesn't work at all unless the person has an interest. Instead, I try to find bitcoin-fixes-this-topics that relate to that person (ie. cares about human rights, wants to avoid taxes, has an interest in economics, has the feeling he can't progress in life because he's stuck in a financial mouse-wheel, etc.). Then I try to dive into those topics so that it slowly becomes obvious that Bitcoin has something great related to it.
- I also thing is very important to make the current price stick in their brains. We assume most people are familiar with Bitcoin's price: they are not. I've observed time and again how, if you manage to somehow mark in someone's brain a date and a price ("Bitcoin was 10K on Christmas '20), eventually years later they will see the price again, get shocked and get some FOMO building up. It's funny: you can understand things the same just by looking at the past in a price chart, but for some reason that doesn't trigger the emotional reaction I've observed when people just got a price wired in their memory in the past.
Options I can think of:
- Buy your own hardware and bring things home. Long, painful path if you don't have the skills today, but probably worth it in the long run. You could look at buying this to make the road easier: https://store.start9.com/collections/servers/products/server-one
- Rent a server with bitcoin and use that instead of your own hardware. You can check bitcoin-vps.com for providers that accept Bitcoin as payment.
