Of course, doing things like this is natural when you&#39;re hanging around Tridge. <br/><br/>I hadn&#39;t thought about it in years, but today I not only got to use it, BUT I discovered Proxmox already uses it by default. Shrinking my offsite archive sync by 20x. <br/><br/>I think 2000-era Rusty just earned 2026-era Rusty a drink! 2026-10-11T07:10:44Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs29npns7kvvdwtk6kqkdqcevf8m5ysnh0cyaw2f6g0mhjja7jfq4gzyrchy4vx5spvq6hvsxx3g79yt24qmstv02wys6we0s6sxdk3d78yx7470xf Bit of a history dive on the local community theatre I&#39;m now chair of. It was built in 1887 as part of the Institute Movement in South Australia: setting up libraries, reading rooms and halls for public gatherings and education. The government encouraged it: by 1900 there were 196 Institutes, peaking at 306 in 1930.<br/><br/>In the 70s, public libraries as we know them here spread, and in 1989 the last Institute closed. This switch to govt infrastructure matches the Zeitgeist, I feel. The Institute (since 1909 owned by the local council) became a theatre in 1968, became run down by 2004 when the operator dissolved, and was sold off to a college (with significant covenants, including $150k of repairs and installation of air conditioning) in 2006.<br/><br/>Places like this only thrive when there&#39;s a community around them: and generally people find it gives them far more than it takes. I think growing that has to be my aim as chair.

Also, manually deallocating memory can be omitted (oops, program grows over time, crashes) or done twice (also classically tricked into running arbitrary code).<br/><br/>Also, the standard routines are minimal, forcing programmers generally to deal with these issues everywhere.<br/><br/>CLN has a *lot* of internal infrastructure to avoid code having to do this. Firstly, the tal hierarchical allocator removes most manual deallocating, and all the infrastructure relies on it. Second, all the wire demarshaling routines are generated from spec files, and all come down to two hard-to-misuse routines (note: the bolt11 parsing was hand-coded by me, didn&#39;t use this, and had serious bugs!). Finally, we use patterns designed to highlight issues early, including running test cases under Valgrind (a memory debugger) and internal memory leak detection.<br/><br/>But as one developer said &#34;It&#39;s not coding in C, it&#39;s coding in Rusty&#39;s C&#34;! 2026-08-15T07:13:27Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsd97d56qaefz7v79zujyxlw82f9k3f26c9grpradg0hjahukpmndczyrchy4vx5spvq6hvsxx3g79yt24qmstv02wys6we0s6sxdk3d78yxr8s6av In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxfs6zvlg47uzclj2pcs46rmn96hstnw6e06738klr58rsgm30jhqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsvyr3ez'>nevent1q…r3ez</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yet last I heard, libsecp256k1 held up pretty well?<br/><br/>On a less vague - posting note, I had Kimi work through CCAN for bugs, resulting in about 100 commits.

All the obvious ones were snarfed up by previous variants of this play.<br/><br/>It *sounds* great, until you get to the messy reality that the firms you want don&#39;t need you. So you have to find and pitch them. And why would they say yes? Because they&#39;re looking for an exit, which is the opposite of what you said you wanted.<br/><br/>This is not to say it&#39;s impossible, but there&#39;s a reasonable case that it&#39;s going to be far harder than VCs think, who are used to people approaching them. <br/><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qqsrake8cgmccpjsepk9nt8mrvcx87tl9xn2ggjpczv0wqv9gac4d5gpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qs05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sxpqqqqqqzsx77pv" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…77pv</a></span> </div> Really excited for the launch of Orange Juice today.

It&#39;s a worthy question, but not one I&#39;m concerned about.<br/><br/>One of my key responsibilities at Blockstream was to build up a team to support CLN development and usage. I&#39;ve done that, and there&#39;s no critical dependency on me any more. I expect new developments to slow for a year while the team fills gaps, but users probably won&#39;t notice, because CLN is entering a phase of refinement, not radical change.<br/><br/>Most of the exciting change happens one layer up now: plugins are really coming into their own, and daywalker90 has plans to rewrite reckless as a &#34;one stop shop&#34; plugin manager, which should really boost the ecosystem. Its telling that my last two big efforts in CLN have been in plugins: payer proofs and repeatpay are both in plugins (coming in 26.09!). <br/><br/>I also have 2400 branches in my git tree; I&#39;ll have scripts and an LLM churn through them all looking for the unfinished/unmerged ones to decide how many are worth exposing to the world for others to finish.<br/><br/>Software is never finished, but this is not my first time handing over major FOSS projects I&#39;ve founded: I consider that doing that well is a key part of maintenance. <br/><br/>My team is ready, and they will continue to make me proud! 2026-05-15T23:19:22Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsv23lsjh886kea8uv8wr7ytna5x6xkk2q2h780xtqjajra0g6x4uszyrchy4vx5spvq6hvsxx3g79yt24qmstv02wys6we0s6sxdk3d78yxyg7dl8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg4jpak8wn7jrdhmz9f80mkdlpax24wndn5d5whtj4xgxtht6v0ycprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumr0wpczuum0vd5kzmp029gftm'>nevent1q…gftm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The only on-chain impact I&#39;m considering is OpenTimestamps, TBH.

The place was very modest and they just had a WoS QR code glued to wall. When I told the old woman at the cashier that I wanted to pay in Bitcoin she just told me the amount and trusted me to type that on my phone and trusted that my wallet would know how to convert that into satoshis at a reasonable exchange rate (she didn't know anything about Bitcoin I'm pretty sure).<br/><br/>Can't we make this better? There could exist a device with buttons where she could type the amount like she did with the credit card machines all other customers were using. She would just press the amount there and handed me a QR code to scan with the amount included, and exchange rate conversion done at some server trusted by the restaurant, it could be fully offline.<br/><br/>I'm just saying this because I was amazed by the fact that so many years have passed and I barely hear about these kinds of issues or the solutions to them. Makes me feel that no one is thinking about the problems of grassroot Bitcoin commerce adoption, which is the most important thing. </blockquote> 2026-05-02T01:11:22Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsdsaxt89fw07p707emgvl40vekv02p9wgl9evyzql730uz8t4pf9qzyrchy4vx5spvq6hvsxx3g79yt24qmstv02wys6we0s6sxdk3d78yx507qke In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyy5r99agkr20d7r46q7gr94qwj8qaffe8erhmzw8elp9mtr5l7zcprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumr0wpczuum0vd5kzmp0y5grrr'>nevent1q…grrr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>But now I don&#39;t even have to care! 2026-05-01T08:08:34Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsrnv0jt852hpqydalp77ptxwh5tp0du72gzcy492nl83twjx74wqgzyrchy4vx5spvq6hvsxx3g79yt24qmstv02wys6we0s6sxdk3d78yx3gkgj5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs04u2pfh3lad6dlt4wwj4zr4ljprwm2xeqdlc7652t0cyqh8vareqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj75escs7'>nevent1q…scs7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/> <img src="https://npub179e9tp4yqtqx4myp35283fz64gxuzmr6n3yxnktux5pnd5t03eps0elz4s.blossom.band/692a425b55bcf45fefae7ef471794f02ed3f78ada6fe961e3cb283d9e54e7f1a.jpg"> 2026-05-01T06:29:32Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsrn3hr9w8gu8zp2e5edae48ekpp4wactzslw797wrdcw8s4hq7mlczyrchy4vx5spvq6hvsxx3g79yt24qmstv02wys6we0s6sxdk3d78yxr248py I&#39;ve been thinking about taking profits from a Sztorc Fork. <br/><br/>I wouldn&#39;t sell someone a lemon face-to-face, even with full disclosure.

That begins the 12 month window to removal.<br/><br/>We&#39;ve long had `xpay-as-pay` for xpay to take over pay commands. Flipping that to default true and running the tests has been eye-opening.<br/><br/>Given our commitment to not breaking users, I&#39;m re-learning things about pay. For example, if you try to pay the same invoice twice, pay &#34;succeeds&#34;, whereas xpay says you&#39;ve already paid. So when acting as pay, xpay needs to do that too.<br/><br/>Mostly, the xpay error messages are much more informative and readable.

There are several things which could be done. <br/><br/>Firstly, the key for the inv request doesn&#39;t need to be the node key.

This would allow an extension to say &#34;put an amount, signed by Bob, in field 255&#34;.
