I'm decentralizing my income a bit by launching my own LibrePatron instance. It's best seen as a way to bribe my priorities; although I have sufficient paid work, I find that it distracts me from open source Bitcoin development.
All proceeds pass through recklessly experimental software, such as my hardware wallet related pull request(s). That means I catch bugs before you do!

3: Much more famous and so not as interesting of a recommendation, but I'm right now finishing listening to this interview with Poelstra; it's one of the better ones he's done, I commend the hosts for letting him just go at it in detail ( the first section is all about miniscript and super interesting, then it broadens to other stuff, also I get a mention, blink and you'll miss it 😂 ):

I wanted something bigger to run my node on. Is it overkill? Yes! Do you really need that much CPU cooling for a server? Maybe.
Before: Khadas VIM2 Max with 256 GB SD card for blockdir, which ran out of space a week ago. It was also just unstable: randomly declaring blocks invalid and crashing, especially when connected to network cable. https://www.khadas.com/vim
After: Intel i5, 32 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD (using PCIe connector at the bottom of the motherboard). Case: Thermaltake Core V1

For anyone interested, this is a very thorough writeup of the CVE-2018-17144 bug, including links to the relevant code:

The link is hi-res, but if I look at the image attached to my toot it seems blurry.

Well , Twitter just locked me out again. This time they want a cell to text an sms to, and I'm not doing the cell phone thing right now. It's too bad you can't sms over a voip line. I guess my budding aspiring career as a Bitcoin/Lightning/Blockstream Media Designer will have to wait, until I get my Twitter back. Shucks.

Blog post waarin ik een recente witwaszaak doorloop, met focus op wat tegenwoordig telt als bewijs voor het bezit / gebruik van bepaalde bitcoin adressen.
Helaas wordt nog steeds cluster analyse gebruikt en blijft het lastig om rechters uit te leggen wat het probleem daarmee is:

Just got locked out of Twitter ... again ... because of this tweet, and so was @exiledsurfer for giving me a heads up on the article.
You can't make this up.
@ToneVays it would be great to have a dedicated iTunes for that series, so I don't have to write my own RSS feed proxy with a regex filter.
Little known secret: @ToneVays doesn't only talk about price! :-) This Bitcoin Law Review episode is really interesting: https://youtu.be/_rZSNEHRpYc

Mastadon toots are the perfect name for the farts that people let go on twitter. And the character limit here is bigger so one's toots can smell more.
