QQ: When you set up Alby Hub, did you already have your own node? Are you self-hosting or using Alby Cloud?

I know, right? I don’t even remember what I would have blown it on. Just grabbing lunch at home instead of eating out was part of it. Instead, I have value stored.

In August, I tried to consciously plug the leaks in my spending and #StackSats instead. It wasn’t perfect, and I still made some impulse purchases (lunch and stuff), but I’m still walking away with 588K sats.

Way way way better! The one thing I will say for The Batman is that it does a good job of presenting Batman as the World’s Greatest Detective.
But I have a hard time accepting Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne. He will forever be Edward Cullen. In this universe, a vampire—a “bat man”, if you will—has moved from the Pacific Northwest to Gotham, where he uses his supernatural strength, speed, and endurance to hunt bad guys by night. Not only do you never see Batman and Bruce Wayne at the same time, you never see him during the day; he’d sparkle. Bruce lost his parents, Edward lost his entire family. They’re both super emo, won’t let anyone get close to him…
Nolan created a better universe.

I’ve been thinking a lot about The Man in the Arena this week. Basically, how what happens isn’t as important as how we respond to it.

Fellow completionist here. 🙋🏻‍♂️
Even if the best movie is later on, you have to see the earlier ones so you can properly appreciate it.
That said, you can circle back and pick up Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Mission: Impossible 2 & 3. They’re good in their own way, but they almost killed their franchises.

Let it be what it is. Don’t fight it. A lot of people have their criticisms, but I actually enjoyed them.
That said, I don’t have them in Plex. As the kids are old enough to see them and I rewatch them, I may revisit that. We’ll see.

TIL that LN withdrawals are a thing. Thanks! I’m working with them to figure out how to do it. (Only 1 of 2 is supported, so I’ll need to do an on-chain withdrawal for the other one.)

There are also web apps. I bounce between iOS, @primal‘s website, and @noStrudel.

How is the Bitcoin transfer fee (on-chain) determined? Is it just a percentage cut or is there a per-transaction fee, too?
Put another way, should you move your coin off of an exchange after every DCA buy or wait and transfer several buys together to minimize your fees?

I would have loved to see them bring in some Klingon opera here, but I get it. You’ve got time constraints and it needs to fit with the other songs and so on. So they did something completely over the top.

So not something to try with any old wallet? Doing it watch-only seems prudent.
I *love* the idea of SeedSigner! Completely air-gap the keys. Nice.

2024-08-28 22:07:46

An untested backup plan is no plan. On that note…
I can test restoring from a 12-/24-word seed phrase by setting up a new wallet with that seed, right? Then just destroy that wallet? Or is there a better way to test the backup plan? #asknostr

This is why I’m experimenting with turning leaks in spending into sats this month. A little impulse control now, huge wins later.

Arguably mine, since it was the only relay configured when I replied. But it’s spread.

Spent part of the weekend working on getting a relay up and running. All of the tutorials I found were for stacks that don’t match what I’m trying to do, so there was some guesswork involved. Installing the Docker container was fine… but then what? Took forever to figure out how to configure it. I’m not sure if the config.toml file was placed correctly. There’s no way to monitor the relay and watch what it’s doing.
I’m sure part of the problem was me holding things wrong—I only joined Nostr a couple weeks ago—but if you’re asking about ways to make it harder for new relay operators to hold it wrong, those were the pain points last night.

Focus on what this makes possible. For example, saying no to gelato means saying yes to 4700 sats.

The arena will beat you up. That’s its purpose. It's not there to give you glory, honor, and fame. If that's all it did, people would line up to be the man/woman in the arena instead of sitting on the couch eating potato chips.
Those who win aren’t the ones who hit the hardest, the ones who are stronger than anyone else, or the ones that walk into the arena singing “Tubthumping”.
They’re the ones who learn to take a hit and keep moving forward. They’re the ones who understand that true victories are scored on a card that no one else will ever see. They’re the ones who realize that in the arena, they’re only up against themselves.

2024-08-22 14:57:06

One of my fave YouTubers just ended her membership program. Today would have been the renewal date. I stacked 8300 sats instead.

Not 100% sure, but I think it was the Primal web app.

2024-08-21 03:44:06

No, but there was/is overlap. I’d only expect using different relays in the two apps to mean there is some (hopefully temporary) inconsistency between the follow lists in the two apps. But like @npub1yte…559s said, new accounts should work out of the box. 😊

It’s all habit cues. The body has a very short memory of what nicotine is. But finishing a meal, smelling smoke lingering in your clothing, feeling the lighter in your pocket—all powerful signals that tell your brain it’s time to smoke. You’ve programmed your basal ganglia that you’re a smoker; fortunately, you can change your programming. You’ve got this!

I realized a couple years ago that I’ve been conditioned to skip the first paragraph of emails because people rarely get to the point until the second paragraph. Starting at the second paragraph makes triaging go much faster.

2024-08-05 14:00:10

Keep calm and stack sats.

2024-08-01 05:22:35

I've been looking for a way to incentivize myself to plug the leaks. Instead of spending mindlessly, save it. Watching a HYSA balance tick up is boring, though, so I've wanted to find a way to invest it in fractional shares of stocks or something.
In August, stacking sats will be that something.
