So, when does it arrive?

Something about switching to neovim changed everything about how I used computer. I don’t even really use a file manager anymore. Watch out, though! The next thing you know, you’ll be spending tens of hours per week, working on your riced-out hyprland config. You’ve been warned. 😇😈

I have 2 pitties. One is like yours, begs for food all day, and then picks at it for hours. The other one would have you believe she’s constantly being starved, even before we put her on a diet. 🤣 She constantly tries to steal her sister’s uneaten food, too.

Solid advice. I have previously allowed mine to use ‘git add’ for specific files, but I can see how ‘git add .’ could potentially cause some trouble 😅

@nprofile…ckzt is one of the best “thinkers” in Bitcoin. He is *actually* good at understanding both sides of an argument, and getting to the real truth of the matter. He’s also not afraid to admit when he’s wrong, which is incredibly important for what he’s trying to do with Bitcoin Audible. The last point I’ll make is that he really lives on a Bitcoin standard, both, as a user, and a business owner, and the audience gets much better information and recommendations, as a result.
tldr: @nprofile…ckzt and @nprofile…s2gy are fantastic!

Hi Chris, I really appreciate everything you do and the work you put into the show. I hope this value makes it a little more worth it for you. TWiB is one of the best bitcoin shows on the internet! Let’s get these numbers up, boys!

I might be biased, considering I’ve “nix-ified” nearly every device in the house, but I’ll add a big +1 to nix-bitcoin. It’s been rock solid for me. I deployed it in a NixOS container a couple years ago, and I just did another major version update on it a couple nights ago. The update went super smooth, no issues. After a quick reboot, everything was back up, including the lightning channel with your node. Nix-Bitcoin is awesome!

I once spent a week troubleshooting a massive CNC machine running windows NT, because we thought PC wasn’t communicating to the giant machine. Turned out, the CRT monitor was just missing the color green, and the text color was exactly #00FF00, so we literally just couldn’t see the output. So dumb, lol.

Went to touch some grass and walk at a campground yesterday, and ran into a little deer family. They weren’t very bothered by us and just strolled on by. Turned out to be a pretty nice day after all!

I’ve been using Hyprland on NixOS for years at this point, and imo, it’s a match made in heaven. Hyprland has really come a long way since the early days and has had first-class NixOS support the whole time I’ve been using it. It’s really cool to see more people appreciating all the work being done over there, they really deserve the attention. I feel like it made my computers fun and exciting again.

I’ve been a fan for a while but this post made me realize I wasn’t I subbed. Corrected that just now, so congrats on 21,100-ish subs 😜
I think content like yours is extremely important. Keep up the amazing work!

That’s a good point. I probably should have clarified, I wasn’t optimizing for absolute privacy in this case. Performance was a factor as well, so I chose to go with one of the VPN services that offers port forwarding. I’m able to get the level of privacy I need for what I’m doing and between 2x and 5x higher speeds than anything else I tried.

I’d love to check it out! I hadn’t heard of PirateBox before now but I just (mostly) finished revamping my whole setup for sailing the high seas. I’m a big fan of NixOS, so I used a couple NixOS containers. One does all the work and the other is a “sidecar” that only allows the first one to have internet access via a privacy VPN interface. If that connection is down, it effectively kills the internet access to the main container, concealing my real IP, which is nice.

@Gigi is a real OG… G. 😜
Seriously though, I listened to Guy Swann’s reading of Inalienable Property Rights and it was fantastic. I always love @nprofile…uhwl's writing and I think it helped inspire some good rants in the “Guy’s Take” segment, also. 🤣

Hey Chris! Great show! Regarding the age vs gold standard stuff, I more or less agree with you, I just see it a little differently. Instead of time since 1971, I think of it as “time spent on a fiat system”: They blow up 100% of the time, so the longer one goes, the more messed up and prone to failure it is. Going off the gold standard allowed for more creative ways to keep the charade going.
Also, consider the incentives of fiat. It basically incentivizes everyone to buy up all the resources as quickly as possible. The longer you hodl dollars, the less you get when you spend. Of course people are going to buy up and hoard all the scarce assets they can, it makes for better money than the money!
We live in a clown world, I swear. 🤡
Keep the excellent Bitcoin content coming! I loved the bonus ep! I’d happily pay for bonus conent again. ❤️

I’m using a NixOS version on my desktop now. https://github.com/henrysipp/omarchy-nix
I have since modified it a bunch and integrated it into my much larger, personal config. One of the bigger changes I made was ditching waybar for hyprpanel, but now I’m quite happy with it. Linux Unplugged did an episode on it recently: https://linuxunplugged.com/622

It might be helpful to know a bit more about what’s important to you, and what you’re optimizing for.
I use this 2K 120hz Ultrawide https://a.co/d/2yqw0B5 which probably isn’t the best choice these days, but, for me, it was a good blend of screen real estate for code and research, good picture quality for watching content, with some extra performance for a bit of gaming.
If screen space is important to you, you might want to spend your money on 4K resolution, but if you’re more into gaming, maybe 2K with gaming features makes more sense.
Just some things to think about. Sorry I don’t have a specific recommendation. Good luck!

I almost tried Nebula, but I actually just converted all my stuff from WireGuard to self-hosted Netbird. If you guys had consulted with me first, I’d have probably chosen nebula, but at least it will be interesting to compare the two. =P
With WireGuard, I kept ending up in situations where DNS alone couldn’t quite do everything I needed. Netbird redirects DNS queries to itself, which allows it to respond for your private network, or forward them to the local DNS provider, and that means I can refer to my stuff by name AND it doesn’t break the software on my work PC. What a time to be alive!
I really like it so far! Much better than handling as many WireGuard keys as I was. Does nebula do something similar to netbird with DNS?

I have had really good luck with N100 boards. I have 2 that run 24/7. One is my firewall and the other is my NAS. Chris and Wes, you have both recently mentioned you’re thinking about new network gear. I’ve been running opnsense on a barebones, fanless n100 firewall with 4 2.5G NICs from Aliexpress for years, and I don’t really have any reason to complain. It’s been super stable and reliable for me. Wes, I have successfully used one to spoof the MAC address of and replace CenturyLink’s router without having to tell them, when I lived in Seattle. You just need to configure the WAN port to handle the management VLAN (201) and PPPoE.
I built the NAS myself with an N100 board I found on sale. It came with 6 SATA ports and I added more with a PCI adapter. I also really like that I can dedicate a full 2.5G NIC to each of my VLANs. It’s in a Jonsbo NAS case with front loading disks running NixOS (btw).
All in all, I really like these little n100 boards on projects that I want to treat like an appliance.

Chris, I think you nailed it with the point about how early we are on everything. We aren’t wrong, the rest of the world is just slow 😁 At least, that’s what I’m going to tell myself. You know what they say, stay humble and stack sats, you lovely bunch of trendsetters. 🫡

I just remembered the thing you asked about last week that was the most important to me, so I wanted to make sure I answered and put the sats where my mouth is: I would LOVE longer episodes. Truly, I can’t get enough TWIB. You have the best Bitcoin content that is consistently high quality. Idk how you do it, every episode is a banger! This show and Broken Money opened my eyes and changed my life for the better. I only know about Broken Money because you recommended it in Ep1, I believe.
If TWIB was as long as the LUP member feed, I’d probably still be into it. More than anything, the point I want this boost to get across is: Whatever you do, just please don’t go shorter ❤️
