1000%. If you aren't a sysadmin expert, you probably should not be running an LN node. You're at way higher risk of fucking something up than getting rug pulled by a custodial wallet

This has been my experience.
I've onboarded plenty of people in my time. None of them are Twitter Carnivore Bros and none of them engage with the bitcoin "community". Frankly I didn't even know there was a toxic bitcoin Twitter until somewhat recently. Go figure Twitter of all places would foster a toxic community 🙄

You are more likely to lose sats running a node you don't know how to properly maintain than using a custodian.
People are running LN on toy computers running off SD cards that fail, with storage that isn't replicated, all on systems they aren't familiar with.
I've been using Linux for decades, and some aspects of my LN node still keep me up at night. What do these people that aren't devops experts do when their hard drive crashes, or some random service stops working, or their node partners crush them with force-closures fees?
Sorry, but running a full-ass lightning node is not for normies. Run a mobile node that handles most of the shit for you.

Lightning will get cheaper as more node runners start using liquid to rebalace their nodes. LN fees go up as on-chain fees go up because they need to cover their costs. 100-ish sat rebalances go a long way in fixing that.

Has anyone else noticed a significant overlap between people that are into Metal music and people that are into (and highly competent with) Linux?
Not personally a metalhead, but this has been a common enough occurrence in my life that I'm noticing a pattern.

Always seemed to me that it defeats the purpose of self-hosting if you're doing it on AWS or something. I think a lot of people are just engineers that utilize cloud infrastructure and are just building on the tools they know.

I haven't built anything following the podcasting 2.0 spec, so I don't know how hard/easy it is to build something to zap.
What I do know is that I spent the afternoon picking up the little crumbs of info from wavlake's blog and digging through wavman's code to figure out how to programmatically search for music on nostr and zap it. Surprisingly kinda a pain in the ass, but would have been simple if they documented the process somewhere. Would love to know how it compares to the RSS model, but it's naturally different since music is discovered via relays as opposed to subscriptions.
Overall, a pain in the ass. But I'm also not a web dev by choice (though I find myself doing it a lot lately), so take that for what you will.

Not arguing for it, just offering an explanation.
I think it's reasonable that they take a small cut if they on-boarded the artist. If they do have "byo LN address" and it indeed doesn't transparently split, I agree that's pretty bad.

The second point sounds bad on its face, but I can see why it would look like a "black box" if creators on their platform use a custodial wallet on wavlake. There's no "split" to be made if it's all just one node.

> This is likely due to the permanent damage caused by the centralization and misuse of traditional social media platforms.
It's always been this way, though. I have friends that I met online in the early days of IRC and forums, long before social media, and it was just as weird. Honestly, I'd say it's *less* weird these days, but still quite unusual. 🤔

There's some OK keto ice cream out there if you ever get the craving. Dark chocolate (85%) is also fair game, as long as you just keep it down to a couple pieces.
It helps to be really strict starting out, but eventually you're gonna want to loosen up a bit, and the keto-friendly snacks really help

Curious if AI datacenters need to be located near city centers or if they can be relatively remote like bitcoin miners. If you need low latency and high bandwidth, they're decidedly much worse at seeking out low-cost energy.

imo, the most interesting possibilities for nostr come in the form of non-social media apps. We need more creative ideas than "like <xyz> but more decentralized". The average person doesn't give a shit about centralization.

If they're at all receptive to talking about it, I just let them know that "crypto" is a rebranding of "altcoins". It was a way to steal credibility by putting "bitcoin" and "altcoins" in the same category, when they never were in the first place.
