It’s called The Woody Woodpecker Show I saw the re-runs as a kid but it came out in 1957

Ohh cool, I'll look into blocksdir, because I have a couple of spare drives lying around. My channels are all pretty recent, and I could keep roughly 900GB of the 900+GB the chain needs right now. I...

I'd use pruned node as a last resort when you have nothing left to try. who knows you might want to run something that requires everything down the road or if you ever need to rescan the chain for a wallet outside of your pruned window in the future

ive seen people stretch out disk space by moving the large, seldomly-accessed blocks/ folder to a separate disk (often slower) then run bitcoind with blocksdir parameter set so you can keep using your old disk alongside an external drive

i dont know about btcpayserver or albyhub specifically, but imo if you're running a lightning node like LND, you probably dont want to prune your node especially if you have channel states that could fall beyond however long you're pruning for.

I only run the node, AlbyHub and BTCPayserver. No other apps. So I just want the node to keep syncing...

By repeatedly adjusting default mempool policy to match what miners will accept anyway (large OP_RETURN uncapped because β€œthey’ll just mine it via bypasses like Libre Relay, or direct APIs”), we...

another example of philosophy flip-flopping (caveat: Core isnt a monolith -- different contributors now) are the comments Core made on compact block filters.

when compact block filters was announced it was to announce to miners/pools to implement them in order to more closely align with the p2p network. at the time fees were elevated, as some exchanges and pools were stuffing blocks (perhaps to make an argument for big blocks). "follow the <compact block filters> p2p network or risk your blocks being orphaned".

this got turned on its head with the OP_Return PR. "node's compact block filters should follow what the miners are mining"

i think those that throw the word gaslighting around Core proponents is because they arent goldfish 🧐

it's that time of year again. lantern festival is the 15th day of Spring Festival/Lunar New Year to celebrate the end of festivities

https://youtu.be/yO-FZkJA1bE

another lantern festival tradition we have in taiwan is the "bombing of han dan" in taitung rather than shooting fireworks at the public like in yansui/tainan, this one parades a brave volunteer that is stripped naked into a bunch of fireworks. goggles and a towel for safety 😰

taiwanese people are weird, enjoy some tang yuans πŸ₯³
