I'm going to start closing channels on the Podcast Index lightning node starting today. The $240/month is no longer self sustaining and we lose about $200 on the node every month. It won't stop anyone from boosting in a podcast. We just always kept the channels free as a service so now if you open your own channel to somewhere you might have to pay for it.

Our node's database is so humongous that all the normal tools (bos, rtl, etc) just error out. I'll be doing it from command line (lnd).

A "weight" is just a form of heuristic. Regression is literally built in to the LLM at a fundamental level. Re-weighting a model will always regress other weights. One slider gets pushed up and another goes down. It's impossible to get 100% unit test coverage in such a system. It's a beta test that never ends.

#podping The gossip-listener is now called podping-gossipwatcher.

You guys would be proud of me. I used docker across the board for all this stuff. :-)

#podping The second podping.cloud host is in the gossip swarm now. Three more to go.

#podping Gossip monitor now factored out into it's own repo:

https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podping-monitor

Live at: https://ppmonitor.podcastindex.org/

Anyone can run a monitor:

docker run -d --name podping-monitor \
--restart unless-stopped \
--log-opt max-size=10m \
--log-opt max-file=3 \
-v $(pwd)/data:/data/gossip \
-e IROH_NODE_KEY_FILE=/data/gossip/node.key \
-e KNOWN_PEERS_FILE=/data/gossip/known_peers.txt \
-p 80:8090 \
podcastindexorg/podping-monitor:latest

Set your ~/data permissions correctly.
