C’est trop gentil merci !!

Oui, ce n’est pas strictement un vrai hardware wallet. Pas de secure element. Mais si l’ISO a bien été préparée avec désactivation de tout ce qui est réseau et qu’en plus tu désactives les éléments de réseau dans le BIOS/UEFI + débranchement physique de carte réseau etc coté lmachine hôte t’es quand même sur du cold storage avec air-gap ;)

Washing machine, part 2:
I straightened out a hose that looked like it was pinched, and it doesn’t seem to be leaking anymore 💪🏻
I’ll test it with a load of laundry tomorrow—I’ve had quite enough of floods for one day!
On the bright side, I did find something rather unexpected inside the machine… my USB drive, which had been missing for a month! I’ve spent the last month searching every single corner of the house for it… and today, the mystery is finally solved: it was in the washing machine…
It suffered the same fate as my wireless earbuds; I just hope it’ll be in better shape once it’s dried out.
Note to myself: Never let my partner start a load of laundry again. Every single time, he grabs a sweater I hadn’t planned on washing, doesn’t check the pockets, and I end up with tissues and small electronics in the wash…

Oh et evidemment une fois le wallet créé on connecte en watch-only pour tout ce qui est reception. Donc plus besoin de toucher à la seed sauf pour sortir des fonds. Et la sortie des fonds se fait en air-gap. Construction de transaction non signé via le watch-only, signature via QR code, récupération de la transaction signée via QR code encore une fois puis broadcast depuis un appareil en ligne. La seed n’existe nul part à part sur les machines et ne touche jamais internet lors de son utilisation pour signer 😋

Franchement j’ai fais plus simple. Une clé USB bootable avec un linux amnésique custom. Sparrow, qrencode et iancoleman hors ligne installés dans l’ISO via cubic. Pilotes réseau et montage des volumes totalement désactivés.
On boot sur un appareil dédié propre, on fait ce qu’on a à faire, on éteint et hop y’a plus rien. La seed ne vis ni dans la clé ni dans l’appareil sur lequel on boot, elle ne vis que dans la RAM pendant le temps d’utilisation et disparaît à l’extinction ;) On peut me voler la clé, me voler l’appareil qui sert pour le boot, rien n’est stocké dedans ce n’est qu’une boîte à outils 😊
Et si on veut vraiment bien faire on fait l’entropie avec des jet de dés IRL au moment de la generation de la seed 🤓

Well, the washing machine has broken down. I can’t afford to buy a new one.
Could this be a good opportunity to develop some appliance-repair skills?
In reality, it’s looking like a lot of trips to the laundromat.
I tried opening the panel underneath, but everything is so tightly secured—clearly designed to keep ordinary people like me from taking a look inside! 🫩
I guess I won’t be turning into a washing machine mechanic today…

Le meilleur moyen pour ne pas apparaître dans les listes de possesseurs de hardware wallet c’est de faire un hardware wallet soit même. Et pour que le vol de l’appareil ne pose pas de problème il suffit de ne pas stocker la seed dedans.

Merci pour le partage 😉 Je vois quand même un léger frein.

Hi ☺️
Yes, that’s exactly how I fell down the Bitcoin rabbit hole. One day you earn your first satoshi in a game, and a few months later—if you’re not careful—you end up running a node! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi 👋🏻
Small typo: it's MPTCP (Multipath TCP), not mctcp 😉
For context, Go 1.24+ listens via MPTCP by default, and the release turns that off for lnd.
Linux check (needs a recent iproute2): sudo ss -Mltnp | grep lnd. If lnd shows up, it's still listening via MPTCP.
Thanks for the heads-up, and have a great day! ⚡

Such a positive mindset! Though I often think that true awareness in this kind of world comes with a bit of a bittersweet cost—the more you understand, the harder it is to unsee. But having kindred spirits to share the journey with makes all the difference. 🫶🏻

Got a bunch of free apples and started with vanilla apple jam (1 kg / about 2 lbs apples, 500 g / 1 lb sugar, and a packet of vanilla sugar). Looking at what's left, I think I'll be baking apple pies for the rest of autumn.

Fiat, Bitcoin, Lightning: did we just move the vampires? 🤔💭
Lately, I’ve been having some bitter thoughts about where all this is heading. Whether we use fiat or bitcoin, I feel like we always end up fattening the exact same corporate mastodons.
Let’s look at the reality of the whole chain:
• On the mining side: The myth of the average user finding a block at home is gone. It's all massive industrial data centers raking it in.
• On the Lightning side: It’s the same story. Liquidity giants, already loaded from the start, dominate the major routing nodes with sometimes abusive fees. Since they own the main highways, everything goes through them: we’re getting vampirized.
• On the State and tax side: And that’s not even counting the law. In France, for example, the slightest purchase in Bitcoin (even without going back to fiat) is theoretically subject to capital gains tax as soon as you exceed €305 in annual spending, with a 30% hit. The tax trap closes on us either way.
In short, we decentralized the protocol, but we just recreated ogres and recentralized capital.
So... what do we do? Is there even a way out?
Honestly, I don’t have a miracle solution. I just feel like we're going in circles: between mega-hubs stuffing themselves at the network's expense and the State watching our every cent, the math just doesn't add up.
Deep down, it’s hard not to be pissed off at this endless greed. When you see ultra-rich people always wanting more, while their descendants for the next 100 years couldn't possibly spend it all even living better than 70% of the planet, you wonder what the point is. It feels like we're just fuel for a machine that stacks up capital for profiteers.
How do you guys analyze this situation? Do you manage to not feel trapped, or is this just the common fate for everyone?

When I first started with watercolor, it felt like everything was working against me. So, I decided to take things one small step at a time, and I began painting trees using the leftover paint on my palette. Personally, my favorites are 4, 12, and 21. How about you?

Haha, sorry—might be a bit of a psychological quirk rather than just dedication! 😅
It all started with wanting a free custom Lightning address, and somehow I ended up running my own node and domain... 🤭
Thanks for checking the fee details though! I was honestly expecting higher costs, so it’s great news that it went through with virtually no fees. Really appreciate your help—it was super valuable for my testing! 🙏

That’s very kind of you, but I’d feel uncomfortable asking for tests when I could technically run them myself using my own funds by setting up a second test account. 😅
That said, I’d be curious to know how much you ended up paying in Lightning fees—just to see if my current connectivity is sufficient, or if I should consider opening channels with peers that are closer to the routes typically taken by these zaps ⚡️

How much practice took place between these two paintings?
The answer is simple: one Inktober!
In 2024, having started with watercolors only a month earlier, I decided to take part in Inktober with some friends.
I set myself a constraint: I would only create monochrome watercolor pieces, and I wouldn’t reuse any of the paint from my pans.
I drew the same sketch—a titmouse—twice, painting one version just before Inktober and the other just after. By removing color theory from the process, I was able to get a feel for how water behaves and to explore each individual pigment in my palette.

I don’t think I’m sophisticated 😬
I'm just constitutionally incapable of not doing way too much 🫣
Custom amnesic OS, physical dice, watch-only and air-gapped setup... all that to protect 40 bucks 😂
But in the end, I gained way more than 50k sats: I earned new knowledge, understanding, and skills 🤓
I think people are capable of it, but many won’t dare to learn or even give it a try.

Hello Nostr community! 👋 / Version française plus bas 🇫🇷
Quiet observer until now, I'm taking the leap: my NIP-05 is validated on my domain! 🥳 (Celebrated with a proper double cappuccino, of course ☕).
I'm a mom, introverted, and a jack-of-all-trades, fueled by caffeine: shifting easily from coding to music (instruments & singing), from Linux/VM admin to gaming, and from running a Lightning node to visual arts. Attached is one of my watercolors from a past creative wave 🎨
⚡ Current focus: Bitcoin & Lightning infrastructure. My node's direct address (`coffee@evalexa.fr`) doesn't handle Nostr Zaps (NIP-57) or memos yet, so I'm using a temporary Speed address while I work on my next challenge: making my address 100% Zap-ready! (I'm going to need a lot of coffee for this ☕⚡)
📌 A quick heads-up: I'm the opposite of a daily influencer. Wild by nature, you won't get spammed by following me!
If this mix of code, art, music, gaming and coffee speaks to you, say hi in the comments! 👇

En pièce jointe, une de mes aquarelles d'une précédente vague créative 🎨
⚡ Mon focus du moment : infrastructure Bitcoin & Lightning. L'adresse directe de mon nœud (`coffee@evalexa.fr`) ne gère pas encore les Zaps (NIP-57) ni les commentaires, j'utilise donc une adresse Speed temporaire le temps de relever mon prochain défi : rendre mon adresse 100% compatible !
