Bitcoiners are awesome - lnaddress.me story
64.6k sats \ 4 comments \ @BrookeGentry17P 1 Jul health freebie

I've been running lnaddress.me for couple of years now, it started with a decent list of available domains but over time the cost of renewing domains for offering a free service became too much so I slowly started removing them as they expired.

last year I've removed lightning.by from the site because of the same reason - renewal price.

Fast forward a while - couple weeks ago I get tagged by fiatjaf in a telegram group where Sergey was asking who runs the site and that he purchased domain that used to be available there and would like to give it back to the service.

So lnaddress.me again supports lightning.by LN addresses thanks to Sergey, and I have a bit more motivation to run this free service a while longer to support this awesome community!

  • Monday was meetings, administrative catch up, and merging/refinining PRs mostly
  • Yesterday I continued working on booger attempting to get it into a state where I can compile it into a single executable
    • I ended up having to write my own db migration logic so that migrations could be specified as strings and embedded in the executable.
    • Most of what's left is figuring out how to embed the builtin workers and streamlining configuration UX
    • My goal is to make installing and running it as pleb friendly as possible while also kicking ass
  • Then I'll begin deploying. I'm going to try deploying through containers this go around. 🤞

So true @kr. Its just so much easier for us to justify our own hatred and actions when we demonize others. The older I get the more I see people as this graphic describes. None of us are good, some try more than others. So commit evil acts but aren't demons.

“No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good.”

— CS Lewis - Mere Christianity

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Matthew 7:3-5
New International Version

If we could live in this way. Try to be good, to seek first to improve ourselves before condemning others. Wouldn't it be a better world. That is not to say we do nothing when wrongs are committed. But rather we look to ourselves first so that we can more clearly see and understand.
