Start9 Server update
Since I could not figure out how to get sats out of Alby (Lightning Network) back on-chain (Bitcoin blockchain), I decided to get the ball rolling on my Start9 Bitcoin node and purchased $100 in Bitcoin using Cash App. I didn’t want to spend more money buying Bitcoin. Unfortunately, it seemed the quickest way to…

Cherry On Top – Ainsley Costello – Music Experiment Part 2
Let’s see if I can get it right this time. The last time out I think I published my RSS feed with a mistake in the song’s GUID. This time out, using Podcasting 2.0’s last episode’s RSS feed as a guide, I confirmed which GUIDs to use. So before I hit Podping to publish my…

My last music experiment failed

I’m going to try to build my own Start9 server
I like the idea of “sovereign” computing. The idea that I own my hardware, software, and data. Living that life is very difficult if you’re a normal person. Most people use Apple, Google, or Microsoft for everything that’s digital in their lives. They’re locked down to one company’s platform. I try to spread myself around…

I’m going to attempt a relaunch of this podcast
I started the idea to podcast a year ago because I was bored. I also learned about Podcasting 2.0 and started listening to their podcast. I was intrigued as to where they were headed specifically with Value4Value and streaming payments to podcasters or any other person making content distributed via RSS. Over the last year…
