Defo more for the mega rich who don’t want the responsibility of looking after it, but are smart enough to not let one party control their asssts
Does make me laugh the pricing information though, how can they charge more for you owning more bitcoin in your multisig lol, doesn’t cause them any more overhead

There’s some nice looking food places on BTCMap there I’ve wanted to try next time I go 😁
If you end up not barbecuing, there’s a nice Mediterranean restaurant called Olive Grove there I’ve been to a few times. Doesn’t take sats though!
Fingers crossed for the bbq 👌

They have a habit of ‘fixing’ CVEs by you “just updating with windows update” then find out via a vulnerability scanner, that buried in the update KB article that you actually had to add some obscure registry keys to actually implement the fix contained within the update
I’m still fucking annoyed about this, and this was from me having to support dozens of windows terminal services and domain controllers YEARS ago

I set up my multisig purely to protect me from myself
Not only from me being an idiot somehow disclosing my seed phrase, physical damage, someone “finding it” physically, being phished/scammed
But mainly protecting me from making emotional decisions due to price action, as it’s an absolute pain in my ass to spend it lol
I still need to sort out the legal stuff for inheritance , but I’m lazy… but defending me against myself was more important

Today I learned that in 2003 the fast food company “Sonic” began printing out their own money to pay their workers. This led to a huge inflation in the economy and was one of the leading factors of the 2008-2009 recession. Would highly recommend looking up Sonic Inflation on google if you want to learn more.

Yes it is mental, and I have seen Windows running in K8s…with 8GB images lol.
I’ve toyed with the idea of having kubevirt running multiple windows VMs, that are running HyperV with Linux VMs inside of it runs its own Kubernetes cluster….which could also have kubevirt….
Kubernetes all the way down
In fact that’s how GKE works sorta in GCP. Behind the scenes it’s Borg running on raw hardware, which then hosts Compute Engine VMs, which if you’re running GKE those nodes are running on it

XD well I had to do Cisco NetAcademy which is most of CCNA, so it’s a world of fun! Not played around in PacketTracer for ages!!! It didn’t properly emulate some aspects of the operating systems but was good enough in 2013, I’m sure it’s far more advanced.

Been travelling about 8 hours over the last two days, staying over in London to visit a client’s office. Hate London and just thinking of travelling through it stresses me out, let alone being there. Get home late last night and enjoying getting to bed
Then for last hour from 2am there’s been a horrendous thunderstorm that’s woke me up, with hundreds of bright but silent lightning flashes. No matter which way I turn I can’t avoid them, so have given up. Just scrolling through nostr till it stops lol

Nice man, let us know how it goes :) What games do you have in mind to play together? I need to do the same at my partner’s house, gonna get some nice Unifi APs and controller in there as the upstairs “office” never gets used due to shite reception. Shitty ISP issued router/AP needs to go in the bin, or at least turned into bridge mode….just haven’t got round to it yet >.>;

It’s weird actually, talking recently of #FreeBSD to someone else.
It was very much like being in the Bitcoin space, very focused community of competent people who just wanted a well curated UNIX system. No drama, no noise
Then around 8 years ago, we had core team members who started injecting identity-based and “progressive” politics, poisoning the well with the new “code of conduct”
https://www.freebsd.org/internal/code-of-conduct/
This distracted from the core values people had, and caused the community cohesion to fall apart. And I stopped using FreeBSD exclusively after multiple years
It shouldn’t happen to #Bitcoin, as it’s a much larger ethos. But there will be ideologically possessed interlopers the more people we orange pill

@npub1tce…jmky might have been Michael Lucas actually, I had a good 5-6 years exclusively using FreeBSD so I have melded them together in my mind 😂 Lucas’s books were amazing resources for ZFS and FreeBSD though for sure

Yeah that defo is a solid plan :) another online backup provider I can suggest looking into is tarsnap. Allan Jude spoke highly of it for yonks when I used to listen to BSDNow. Not used it but if you’ve not got tonnes of data but really needs to be private, seems like a good option

It’s been quite a while since I last used kubeseal, otherwise I’d feel comfortable commenting on more. But for 1. The private key only exists in the cluster so you’d be effed if you lose it. And 4. Yeah, whilst it feels uncomfortable doing it initially, that’s the use case for it. Hope it makes you a little more comfortable
