Last Notes npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Happy Thanksgivings to all including those who don't live in the States! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Cause US economy is a debt base and been that way since the founding of the Federal Reserve. It only has "value" as long as we the people say it has value. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Oh nice! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra @npub1d03…pzfs is there a way to claim a fediverse account and just mirror what I post on Nostr to Mastodon or vice a versa? Or do I need to setup @npub10qd…arpj and just move my nostr keys and mastodon account on there? npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Gosh the more I use bitcoin, the more I learn that I most services I use, offer paying with Bitcoin... So I will probably be going that route first. I'm also think about hosting a Wallet for MyPaint Community as well. Open Collective used to offer Bitcoin donations, but sunset that a long time ago. My only issue is that I want the transactions to be just as transparent as it is on Open Collective. Just thinking.... npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Yeah, I'm noticing it to the point where, my roommate and I are spitting the bill to make it more affordable for us. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra No what I mean is the userdata for what songs/podcasts/playlists we add to our library along with our queue and played state. If that data is portable and could be stored on with Nostr, IPFS, or some decentralize database, that would be awesome. Though for that to happen, all the podcasting 2.0 app developers would have to agree on a storage standard to make it happen. We already have an identity base system with Nostr, so that can be taken advantage of as well. IPFS has been around forever so that can work too. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Trying out @npub1yfg…v6vg on android. Like the music experience. I just wish there was a way to share music/podcast information between them, @npub1t8c…9gm4 and @npub1v5u…n0v5 to make it truely decentralize. Nostr seems like a good idea cause they could have their own relays and just exchange the info if needed. Idk. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra @npub1awy…79n4 Fountain is erroring out the boost on my end, I tried todo a retry but it still fails. Might want to look on your end. Sat streaming is working though. If no joy, I can just reboost via alby/podverse instead. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra I also ended up subscribing to Alby Cloud. I tired to load Alby hub on my Raspberry Pi but kept running into roadblocks. Probably once I get my nextcloud server going, I will take a look into it again. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Welcome to Nostr! If you want to add the ability to use Sats, Primal has a built-in wallet. If you are a podcast listener, @npub1v5u…n0v5 is great start. Fountain also can be used to verify who you are. It is what I use. Long term, I would look into @npub1get…0nfm to self sovereign your own Bitcoin and sats. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Hay Noah, with regards to cockpit, I found out recently you don't even need it install just the client. Cockpit-client is available as a flatpak and as long as you have python install on the server and ssh, it will work. Great if you just have webhost VPS and just need to check in on it. Also works with Tailscales SSH as well. Webmin/Virtualmin is another good one but I like small installs. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra https://fountain.fm/episode/JVukiAutfxHlGvPW45f7 npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra I have to say fountain is working quite nice. I have an audio bug, but they got back to me with having a fix for the 1.1.8 release. Here's hoping. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Heard ya over on This Week in Bitcoin - Bitcoin's Golden Age. Nice soothing song to end the show! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Well, here is his long-awaited egg drink. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Welp EA decided to be hostile to the Linux Community with Blocking Apex Legends from being used on Linux cause we are the cause for Cheats. What they don't realize that it much harder to develop cheats due to the Wine Layer and it will always be a moving target. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Is there a public issue tracker that we can post to? npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra https://fountain.fm/track/26hHxhhlLw3VwbpMUCpk npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Love your H8M3 song! So much emotion put in it. Can't wait to discover more of your music! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Update... Well that was a bust with River. I did the ID verification, KYC BS, and the next day, my account was closed before I even had a chance to buy any Bitcoin. I had issues before with my address but this is a first for a exchange... Oh well... at least there are other ways to buy Bitcoin. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Finally got my account made with River and likely the kyc process wasn't painful. Had issues in the past due to my address. I still have some banking things I need to complete before I can start buying Bitcoin, but thank you for the recommendation and the affiliate link. I might do the saving account that River have going but I have my reservations. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Help spread the word of V4V Music! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Finally got my fountain wallet name fixed and removed the "-nostr " add-on. I guess I had an account back in 2022 and had no email attached to it so I couldn't log in to it. So hopefully it won't be as much of a tounge twister now. Had a good laugh last time and it made my night. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra I loved this song! It gives me some vibes from Cyberpunk 2077! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra I had to switch to @npub12vk…pugg built-in lightning wallet since my @npub1v5u…n0v5 wallet locked up because of pending transactions plus another issue. I'm still waiting on them to resolve it. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra For some reason @npub1v5u…n0v5 didn't post a link of the clip. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Good practical idea for dealing with scaling issues. In addition, I would look into the RetroTink too cause its built specifically for coverting anologue into a digital HDMI signal too. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Little foggy up here on Wardner Peak. We up here doing some maintenance work for a client. We also needed to change a pack for a link too. That was a pain to change in the cold. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Seems like the it's going up in price in USD right now so people are selling and buying like crazy. @npub1awy…79n4 do fees go down when there are more than average transactions on the BTC network? npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra @npub15z2…6q95 I was lauging so hardwhen you were tryingto pronounce my name. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra I accidentally sent a broken link. hers the correct link for the song on fountain. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra https://fountain.fm/episode/Thk97UqdpIL6BJLNPmFo npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Sending positive vibes your way npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra https://fountain.fm/track/2oadmScoLbKIGfnan4dG npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra What a banger to start Lightning Thrashes! LETS GO!!! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Awesome song! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Day 6 of #inktober2024 is here. I decided to draw a #Stargate from #SG-1 cause that was the series that was a #trek to me. Loved some of the adventures and antics they got into and the overall universe created. I didn't realize how much detail though was in the gate itself plus had a snafu drawing the grated ramp. I will probably fix it digitally later cause I smudge the #ink too. 😵💫 npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Just testing if this works. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Would it be possible to look into Soapbox.pub and their server Ditto? Apparently it is a Nostr relay that also acts a fediserver with its bridge called Mostr. So basically giving you the best of both worlds. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Okay here is my Day 5 submission for #inktober2024. To be honest, I wasn't really feeling this prompt so I basically drew what I normally see through my #binoculars which are towers. I work for a small local ISP and we use dishes for "line of sight Wireless". So I use my binoculars for aiming the dishes in. Though being lazy this time, I just showed one eye. 😅 npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Okay I'm a day late, but here is my Day 4 submission for #Inktober2024. The theme is #Exotic and I decided to draw #Teto from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind". npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra I am both amazed and little freaked out...mostly amazed. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Day 3 submission of 2024 Inktober. I forgot this little character of mine had black hair so I had to use the brush marker a lot to fill in. I'm impressed of my micron pens cause they were in storage for a couple of years and they still flow. Good pens. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra I get things are hard atm, but I wouldn't give up on the Bitcoin side. Keep it there, but also promote more of your paypal donations and amazon wishlist. Your music podcast really introduces me to all sorts of rock music and it is awesome. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Here is my day two Submission for Inktober. At one of conventions my friends and I attended we came across these worlds in a glass bottle stickers. So I thought this would be a great drawing for "Discover". npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Sometimes we just gotta move on with ourselves. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Love it! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Oh I didn't realize it was going to be the weekend of Oct. 13th so yeah it not going to work out. Oh well... 😅 Still excited to hear Jeff on the show either way! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra In response to last week's baller boost with Hank, there's also a another Linux conference coming up for Seattle called SeaGL, happening next month on November 8th and 9th over at the Washington State University. I would love to hear you guys cover it as well. https://seagl.org/ npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Awesome to hear you have a full podcast as well. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Welp... Here I go... I've been wanting to get back to drawing and with Inktober happening, I guess it was a perfect time to give it a shot again. I want to conquer my years long art block so... Yay.... npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Hello. First time booster. First time listener. I love your soundboard. Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra F-Yay! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Great show like always. I'm slowly understanding the landscape and how to plan for my Bitcoin future. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra It posts on your public profile on the Nostr protocol that Fountain is utilizing. If you're familiar with Mastodon and activitypub, it's basically the same thing except much more decentralized. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Yeah, I heard you a few times throughout all the music podcasts. I love your song and definitely will listen to more of your music. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Yes! Oh yes about the meshtastic! Here's my help with getting Jeff up there to talk and experiment more with it. When I get the chance to stack more sats I will send more your way! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Great show you guys have. I love to hear about the behind the scenes work when it comes to podcasting 2.0. With regards to with auto generating voice for podcasting. This is happening with YouTube shorts and a lot of summary type videos for movies and shows so I wouldn't be surprised the same thing happens with podcasting. You're alright though, for me I do prefer the personal touch with podcasts so hopefully it won't be as big an issue as it is on video sharing sites. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra You never appreciate power until you lose it, and you have to drive 20 miles to get 15 gallons of water For the freaking toilet, and washing dishes. We luckily have a generator to keep the fridge on. Propane for the stove, but no power for the well pump. Yay! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Heard you over on Flowgnar, I would love to hear more music from you! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra We got our 11 gigahertz link back up and running. Our client had to wait a couple of weeks because we were waiting for the airfiber 11 to come back in stock. During that two-week period they were on the backup link so they weren't full bandwidth but they were online at least. It's doing 500 mbps up and down like it's supposed to and our clients are happy so we're happy. https://nostrcheck.me/media/3005022600d525fcd8f9d99da2266b3dfd91b625bf0d41cfb0e7f16b874882fe/158e3e99f5ed88217ff6955165f1a2700508c38c718425994ff409e733771997.webp https://nostrcheck.me/media/3005022600d525fcd8f9d99da2266b3dfd91b625bf0d41cfb0e7f16b874882fe/8878efcf7679587b85313a9e61453f16f906d49119919ede8442aaa2f35c5e4f.webp npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Awesome sauce of a show! I will put this out there, but my work has colo space if you guys need another site for off-site backups. We also have SSD VPS hosting as well. If you want I can get you in touch with my boss or you can check out our website at https://www.cet.com npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Here's a clip from Self-Hosted giving you a quick primer of how the Lightning Network works in junction with Bitcoin. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Heard your song over on This Week in Bitcoin. This is a whole new world I'm discovering. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Awesome song, man! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Oh yeah, and I've been listening since 2010 during the LAS days! I may not say much, but you guys are awesome! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Long time listener, and first time booster! Fountain.fm has made this so much easier to give nostr a go, and moonpay also makes it easier to add SATs. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra The AI BS meter. Yeah, in my experience, I don't see AI as going to do much more than just be an assistant Or a fancy checker. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Welp... I guess that a sign that I need to go to bed. Night! npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra @npub1zlr…h0fa Looks like I can follow ya now. I guess when #fountain.fm basically became a Nostr Client, they also became a verification site too? I'll try boosts when I'm able to purchase sats. Nostr is pretty cool concept wise, just weird and very linuxy difficult wise to setup. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Okay so I'm trying @[email protected] as my primary client on my Android that way I can post to both my Mastodon and my Nostr accounts. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra Love ya guys. npub1xqzsyfsq65jlek8emxw6yfnt8h7erd39hux5rnasulckhp6gstlq7fw9f5 odysseywestra I think I got things setup, but I'm having trouble following anyone including you @npub1awy…79n4. I'm using Alby to login to primal, but I don't know what else to do at this point.
