As a nontechnical guy, my perception is that lnbits' strength is early innovation---trying new ideas and particularly making physical things like lightning controlled switches and beer taps work. And that's fun innovation.
I love seeing how so many developers and tinkerers can each work in their passion areas, and how different projects can cross-polinate ideas and be inspired from each other.

I'm new here. Curious to ask #bookstr folk what books you have read that dig into philosophy or theology of monetary systems---i.e., what is money and what is its significance? In other words, what does money point to, signify, or say?

What are some examples of the types of work tasks agentic AI can do where AI hallucinations either aren't a problem, or where the output is something the person coordinating the openClaw crowd can review and exercise final judgment as to the veracity of the output?
There are too many times when I try to use AI tools for production where the output quality is too low or flatly false.

I love that passage. And, that theme of the inheritance resurfaces in 1 Pe 3:9 ...that you might obtain (κληρονομήσητε, same word) a blessing"
that's an amazing letter.

Seems that they train their opencode AI on the free-tier data. How do you reason about the trust involved in paying them, so that theoretically they're not retaining or using your data? Or, does the fact this was step one on a new VPS setup mean you had KO data privacy concerns?

2026-01-06 11:25:58 GMT

Will this configure things to hose my media on the Blossom relay but not everyone else's? Otherwise, wouldn't the free tiers fill quickly, bumping me to the paid service-levels?

So, I could spin up four Umbrels, keep one, and distribute the other three to friends and family to create pur own federation? Andthaose Fedi wallets could hold bitcoin, so nontechnical folks who want bitcoin but are worried about private key management could finally have easy access? Sweet!

I like this idea. But, mightn't the analogy to physical paper notes not work, in the sense that a true bearer note, if one has physical possession, one knows it's face value, but these notes might have been redeemed.

While I agree with your analysis, the biblical injunctions to marital faithfulness are directed at the church---i.e. at the people of God, not at the broader Gentile world. When the church/people of God stray from gospel faithfulness to Christ, that's spiritual adultery (c.f. Ezekiel 16).
However, Paul seems to assume the Gentiles will of course live like that---see his repeated refrain to Christians that they WERE like that until they put on Christ. Also, the history of early Christianity shows that rather than sleeping around, they practiced a counter-culteral monagamy: they were said to generously share their table and possessions, but not theirbeds or wife.
I don't see the New Testament condemning a pornegraphic pagan culture so much as calling Christians to faithful witness within it---all the while calling pagan Gentiles to Christ, trusting that once they were believers chaste sexuality would grow as they abided in the vine.

Debian GNU/Linux for at least the past 15 years. Mostly native, sometimes within Qubes OS. Before that Mac OS X for 10 years---that got me hooked on UNIX-like OSes. I hope to give OpenBSD a spin during Christmas.

No, not niceness; its about enemy-love and grace.
Considered Paul in Col 4:5-6,
Walk in wisdom towards those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
or Peter in 1 Pe 3:8-12,
Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous, not rendering evil for evil or insult for insult; but instead blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
As a Christian, are your notes here seasoned with grace... tenderhearted? Christ's reputation is at stake, and if you write to shock or give offense, you may make it harder for non-Christian's to hear his call to follow him.

Reading M. Kline's "Kingdom Prologue," he reminds us that cities are structures founded on the common grace of the Creator. In other words, though evil and oppression exist, insofar as cities are good, they bear witness to God's kindness. https://image.nostr.build/f651d4cd34fb21838d5f1b5f865f9e95c839dbaedf8975dc80e169a04a16e719.jpg
