Clamping on to the polywire has worked, but there are areas burning out causing the juice to stop flowing the the end.

It was a small venue with just a few booths since it was the first time, but it was worth it! There will be a couple per month the rest of the summer and into the Fall. If anyone is around Hawkinsville, GA keep watching. I'll make sure you get the info to come check it out.

I just started running a bitcoin node on Umbrel a couple of months ago, not too bad. question for you on the miner - do you get a decent return on bitcoin mining vs the power output to run the miners? I am thinking about bit coin mining myself, but read about bit coin miner pools, lots of compute, and obstacles to get started. you make it look easy and at home, that is appealing to me. npub182syswd6zmwp4fszxpj90ne9xxnvzt9xknrvl0ysnjdl30x59m2s7n5jqa backporchfarmstead thank you for sharing! sounds like there were lots of ups and downs for sure. I noticed there didn't appear to be much for holes and tore up dirt. are you using any minerals with the pigs by any chance? we have IPPs and notice that if we reduce or run out of minerals they tear up the ground more. npub182syswd6zmwp4fszxpj90ne9xxnvzt9xknrvl0ysnjdl30x59m2s7n5jqa backporchfarmstead It is good stuff for sure.

Great movie bringing human trafficking out into the open. There is also a podcast from JP Sears in early 2022 with Tim Ballard. A great listen that goes well with the movie.

I had't thought of turning off the TOR, sounds like something I should think about. Does having TOR on make much of a difference @npub1xn9…vhwl ? If you run into trouble migrating data @npub16up…nevp let me know. I just did it a couple of times after doing the initial block sync, worked like a charm. they don't have docs for it on Umbrel, but it wasn't too bad if you're good on the command line. npub182syswd6zmwp4fszxpj90ne9xxnvzt9xknrvl0ysnjdl30x59m2s7n5jqa backporchfarmstead #grownostr #pigs #hogstr #farmstead Baby birds, mama bird and 4 pigs walk into a paddock... nothing really happens, but it could!

My website is over at https://backporchfarmstead.com - I do have a BUYER BEWARE notice, maybe that is too much freedom :-) I am freedom minded and am using a custom domain with Protonmail. I don't know if this is what got me banned, but maybe it played a part. I asked AWeber to share with me how I got blocked, don't know if they will get back with me or not.

We feed an average of 3-4 lbs per pig per day of regular grain. The grass stays pretty fresh with a move every 7-10 days. Add to that a couple of extra chicken eggs every now and again. The pigs usually finish out around 200-225 lbs live weight in about 10-12 months. Our feed costs around $1 per pig per day (late 2022 numbers). Those are the rough numbers. Does that help? https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_7cb81a5a90e8bbdcaf53a5ee275aa9f982e27f9e08ff03a4c14bf2f61cf801e8.jpg https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_63b8832ed515a2c9f910ebb48151ba60d409b217a7a04dcdd58897cefce1f25b.jpg npub182syswd6zmwp4fszxpj90ne9xxnvzt9xknrvl0ysnjdl30x59m2s7n5jqa backporchfarmstead IPPs are awesome, glad to see more people growing them out! npub182syswd6zmwp4fszxpj90ne9xxnvzt9xknrvl0ysnjdl30x59m2s7n5jqa backporchfarmstead We were able to get 15 eggs in our half gallon jar. 14 now, we had to try one after it sat for a bit to make sure we knew what we were doing before scaling up to buckets. https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_3c8fe46dde2a21d4dd44324878a4807a2707b7bd35d31122deeac4c144b561e4.jpeg npub182syswd6zmwp4fszxpj90ne9xxnvzt9xknrvl0ysnjdl30x59m2s7n5jqa backporchfarmstead water glassing is awesome. we just started doing it this year, getting too many eggs too. can't sell them fast enough here either. npub182syswd6zmwp4fszxpj90ne9xxnvzt9xknrvl0ysnjdl30x59m2s7n5jqa backporchfarmstead #grownostr #pigs #homesteading #realfood Now this is how things eventually turn out with the pigs from the backyard.

As people zap, the availability changes. The zap would also include a way to share shipping info and any notes from the buyer. Mobile friendly would be great as well. Nice to have - some sort of reporting system where I could look back later and see sales or find orders. npub182syswd6zmwp4fszxpj90ne9xxnvzt9xknrvl0ysnjdl30x59m2s7n5jqa backporchfarmstead Are you using a different client by any chance #[1] ? I have been trying Iris, Damus, Snort and another one. I've found that depending on which nostr relays they are connected to, you'll have different results.
