I'm not entirely sure this will be the total outcome, but just watching the number of layoffs globally increasing with "AI" alternatives being the reason, it makes me wonder. Firstly, is this just an easy excuse? In many cases probably, but also likely not for all cases. So in those cases where that's the real reason, when will people start to push back? The Luddites sabotaged and destroyed machinery in the early 1800s when it was taking their jobs. Will this happen soon with Data Centers? Protests at OpenAI's or Anthropic's headquarters or similar? Maybe they are and I missed the memo.

Also remember that stats for all of my shows are publicly available if you care or are bored. For example Pragmatic: https://op3.dev/show/91309bff-791c-5bf0-8cf8-2cd1f0f815da

I'm honestly positively surprised that the latest episode of Pragmatic, that has been dormant for 9 months, just cracked the 900 downloads. Of course, how many are still listening is another matter, but there are still people subscribed! Thanks everyone for that! Also, I’ll be recording the next Pragmatic episode in a couple of weeks and releasing later in March.

@nprofile1q... Having retired my Raspiblitz, what's your current recommendation for the easiest to maintain, self-hosted Lightning Node? Are you still using Umbrel or Start9?
