Last Notes npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras Oh wow! That’s a great resting heart rate. npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras I’m finally live! All my lottery miners are now running Bitcoin Knots + DATUM gateway signaling for BIP-110. Previously, I was experiencing large share rejections on OpenBSD. I migrated to the supported Fedora version, and we’ve had zero rejections since then. https://image.nostr.build/9db0264bb9d1a98a489c75a8b079de64b077f9424290f5c0afcad6f99caea4ab.jpg npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras More bounty from the garden! https://image.nostr.build/ab72bec4f016198caf0e3de68264a81ff43b2af7d9776c4a656c4a8cc9de6c2b.jpg #nevent1q…eu3a npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras I’ll be spoiled if she keeps up! npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras I only cooked eggs at her age 🤣 npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras My 11-year-old whipped up this incredibly looking bruschetta from scratch.

I’m deep down the rabbit hole compiling Datum Gateway on my beloved OpenBSD. All so that, in the infinite chance my lottery miner fleet hits the jackpot, they’ll broadcast with a proper BIP-110 signal. 🤣⛏️ #BitcoinKnots #OpenBSD #BIP110 https://image.nostr.build/75c02369245ca29a6ab282b117fa5d5af49fbe42777d00c1d19f32c31164adbd.jpg npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras This is so amazing and inspiring to see! npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras 🇺🇸⚽️💔 npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras Thanks for hosting! npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras I’ve pointed my lottery miner to @npub10kj…kt0z 🎉 Even with an infinitesimal chance of finding a block, there’s something undeniably beautiful about being able to vote and signal for BIP-110. npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras My first radish harvest ever.

Proud dad moment! npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras My daughter just started GirlsWhoCode and is diving into Python and Java. I refurbished my old dev beast: a 2015 MacBook Pro 15”. Swapped out the battery, gave it a clean, and prepped it for her experiments with local inference and coding. It brought back so many nostalgic memories. The keyboard on this thing is perfect. There is nothing like it anymore. I would pay in a heartbeat to have this exact typing experience with deep travel, tactile feedback and sound on a modern shell. https://image.nostr.build/74b664fab58523023a3ed6bfecd9e826c3111fc8c319c49f53947dcf6c090e6b.jpg https://image.nostr.build/4608fa1ed746ad477a28c93bed3ad1a397a42f1d655e16bc5b78a94bc425f373.jpg npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras Good to know, thanks! npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras I’ve got a Bitcoin Knots node up and getting ready to run Lightning node. Has anyone else tried running Lightning Core with Knots? Are there better complementary lightning nodes you’d recommend? #OpenBSD #BitcoinKnots #LightningCore npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras Best decision our family made this year was moving from the city to the countryside. The positive uplift to mental health has been incredible. So worth it! https://image.nostr.build/85f86a85a19a9cc27793e19495d07a8d0080da6e40b8ebe97a9d6535aa6ca9e3.jpg https://image.nostr.build/56bd1616b34704a050a0c22a70ab9340b36a4160b028e72139b8497cae3dd4cd.jpg npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Using Bitcoin for Bible verses is a waste of block space. This is a settlement layer, not a message board. npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras JPEGs and Bible verses have no reason to exist on the chain. Advocates for this are either dishonest or wish for Bitcoin’s downfall. Yet Bitcoin Core has enabled this behavior, which is absolutely nuts! npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras Picture speaks a thousand words! npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras None of this was obvious when I chose to run a full node a few weeks ago. The nostr community taught me the nuance. Grateful for it. npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras Bitcoin Knots, officially unsupported on OpenBSD, running like a champ. Even accepting inbound. Core is the default, not a requirement. Stock Knots shares Core’s consensus and differs on policy. It hands you control of the mempool: datacarrier=0, stricter datacarriersize, permitbaremultisig=0. Core v30 raised the OP_RETURN cap to 100,000 bytes, inviting spam and bible verses on the chain. Knots keeps the filter. But it also lets you go further. consensusrules=rdts enforces BIP-110: OP_RETURN back to 83 bytes at the consensus layer, not as a relay suggestion. No bloat by default. #bitcoinknots #OpenBSD #RDTS #BIP110 https://image.nostr.build/fe686141106580e14b59b76f165a4afa9bd3fbc2cbe0ce9d0d1244a1c6d58af9.jpg https://image.nostr.build/80629c446c83aadb0c8d0dd88483b6c6916375d383c7afe8edf016efaf3ae4f2.jpg npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras First Father’s Day with baby #3. So blessed. Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads out there! npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras Favorite part of the day! https://image.nostr.build/9a8e30a4223d7ffcfc44a31c3ca338b035a59b4f3359c7273261428592bf0ee2.jpg npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras Not sure if it will reach 4TB territory, but I need to increase the drive capacity ASAP. npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras Parasites npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras Found a few wild berries on the property! https://image.nostr.build/51a1e334ffb2a1ca0fb2ba5bc329a168698f61bdf853fa813bf3d1a5eb5002ac.jpg https://image.nostr.build/6eab99fc0ac9a32313345f9113ff10b6d20e366ab118068690012951db4f30dc.jpg https://image.nostr.build/56312f946b56250f52d3584064e97e01428a1b9156441ce02f5b4469e82c11bc.jpg npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras Sounds interesting. Thanks for the recommendation. npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras Including non-monetary data in Bitcoin’s blockchain is a serious mistake, and Bitcoin Core enabling it only makes it worse. Using the world’s most secure and most expensive monetary ledger to store JPEGs or memecoin code wastes a genuinely scarce resource. This becomes obvious the moment you run a node under real memory or storage constraints. Left unchecked, non-financial data inflates blocks, adds CPU overhead, and bloats the chain that every node has to carry. I originally compiled it using Bitcoin Core version on OpenBSD, but now switched to Knots and re-downloading full chain to take a philosophical stance. #openBSD #Knots #BitcoinNode https://image.nostr.build/0fc9d96133a0316434c5058bd94498f976e132217693aaa73464618b0ae77a12.jpg https://image.nostr.build/72fbc5ec72420ee0a9d436468d1711fac8bc2ba8ba3842fa8d869a054cb4df52.jpg npub179nsvm5fvtrjsgfk0m9hlz6arqk2eyyw7xk58zm46fapgx327nas722v2r Edgaras Opening day success!

Nostr captures that raw, early Twitter energy: no algorithm, no ads, no bots, no manufactured engagement. I never cared for Instagram or the Meta ecosystem, it’s always felt too curated.

It’s not exactly plug-and-play, setting it up on a fresh OS requires some manual tweaking and configuration. But it’s absolutely worth it for the end result: complete data sovereignty. Here’s the OpenBSD stack I’m running: • pf Firewall: Only ports 22 (rate-limited), 80, and 443 exposed • relayd: Automatic SSL/TLS management & traffic splitting • httpd: NIP-05 verification & static site hosting • Private Nostr Relay: Fully isolated and managed via rcctl Tightly locked down and fully independent.
