#asknostr What is more important? The view of the toilet or the view from the toilet? Personally, I have no one left to hide from or impress.

This toilet was built in just a couple hours. Reusing the top of our old compost toilet setup. Haven't felt the need to upgrade yet. Someday. For now, I enjoy the fantastic view and the fresh air. No better way to poop.

I really could use some help. I was holding some #bitcoin on chain using my node running on an #umbrel server. Today I went to? Make a transfer and the server is having an issue. Non of the apps will open and I am unable to install new apps.
No biggie, I have the keys. So I used blue wallet to restore my wallet and it did work, kind of.. But it shows no balance.
#asknostr Do I need to specifially use an umbrel node wallet or what is the deal? I thought the seeds could be used anywhere. Why are many of my transactions not showing in blue? I really appreciate any suggestions because I need access to the funds and I am not sure what to do.

All using random materials we have lying around

Quick and dirty, 2.4kw battery with 3000watt inverter with quick disconnect solar charge controller. May look janky but it will serve me well. And its quite stout. I wanted something I can easily swap batteries and take with me in my truck. It's a little heavy but much better than carrying it around in peices.
