My politically incorrect thought: America might be improved if we changed nothing about the criminal justice system except added caning as a possible punishment.Opinions?

Nostr images can be hosted on any web server including your own.Public service image hosting will not be forever free. To be sustainable they should charge tiny amounts of sats to guarantee quality of service.This arrangement is very capitalist and properly aligns incentives to enable a decentralized network to be sustainable.

Ouch.Nostr's design is truly decentralized which is good, but normal users may be surprised by the amount of data and client-side processing that is required to have a rich social media experience. It can too easily consume far more mobile data than hyper-optimized mobile YouTube streaming.They already begun to optimize by providing things like data saving image compression proxies.Perhaps Mobile Nostr clients need pop-up warnings about mobile data consumption. Other apps give users options to automatically minimize mobile data use while they are unrestricted while on WiFi. For example a mobile Nostr client detecting mobile data mode could skip loading of images or show a very low res version from a proxy until you click on the image to download.#[0]

This is a good value for a home self-sovereign LN node.* CPU much faster than RPi.* 8GB: you should add another 8GB (DDR4 SODIMM 2400 or faster) or replace to max out at 32GB RAM.* That's a 1TB SATA HD. You could add a nvme 2280 SSD to gain storage redundancy for your critical LN database. SSD's are at an all time low price now. I recommend TLC drives without HMB like Samsung 970 Evo Plus, Teamgroup MP34, or Crucial P2. 2TB is very affordable these days.* You could also replace the spinning hard drive. Elimination of moving parts improves reliability. For 2.5" SATA I recommend the 2TB Crucial MX500 that's been below $120 recently.* Most of the cost is your new drives. These drives will outlive the machine. If the machine dies you can simply move the drives into another machine. Linux won't care about the underlying hardware. It should work with zero or minimal reconfiguration.I've been testing a similar model here. The screen and keyboard are of lower quality and music sounds bad from these speakers. These economy business laptops make excellent servers when you're able to buy them cheap enough which often is possible when fleets of corporate machines are liquidated.There is risk in buying used. You want to immediately stress test the device including CPU, RAM, and disk after you receive it so you know if it needs to be returned. You want to flash the firmware to get security updates. That however has risk of bricking which would become a complicated discussion with the seller.Note: Several other models are suitable as dual internal SSD home servers. I don't often post about them though because quantities for sale are not high. In this case the seller seems to have many for sale and the price is good.Please follow and zap if you want more self-sovereign LN advice like this. I could be convinced to write a guide of what to do after you receive a used Thinkpad. I've lost money buying and testing non-refundable duds so you don't have to.https://mobile.twitter.com/i/communities/1563029300911058944Please also follow my Twitter community where small tips are written more frequently.https://i.imgur.com/gk477UJ.png

#[1]@00000000827ffaa94bfea288c3dfce4422c794fbb96625b6b31e9049f729d700RPi was always a terrible idea for LN nodes. They are toy quality hardware. If you're lucky you get one that is reliable. For a lot of people it had not been reliable.#[2] See here for an example of *much* better value. Especially now with the recession many dead companies are liquidating fleets of powerful used hardware. Much much faster and more reliable than RPi.You want dual redundant disks to protect the critical LN database. With SSD's at an all time low price now it's affordable to do this properly. You need to pick particular hardware capable of using TWO INTERNAL DISKS. External USB is far less reliable.https://twitter.com/i/communities/1563029300911058944Here is a community containing advice on this topic.

Inconvenient Truth: Dual redundant disks should be the minimum for LN database safety. People didn't recommend this before because it simply cost too much. This has now changed.You ideally don't want to rely on external USB drives. Internal drives are far more reliable. Some cheap hardware can do two internal disks very cheaply.RPi was never a good choice for LN nodes.#[0]

For us Android handicapped I'm curious to learn what strategy you used such that other clients could learn?
