I'm fine thanks, and at a real turning point in my life. My long term partner is likely to move back in with me ( she has been looking after her sister, who has now died from cancer). I'm still fit and active, and not taking any medication or allowing any killer injections. I'm sorting my vehicles, and will end up with two van and a tricked out Volvo 740. Hopefully I can start to make some videos about health, wealth and Bitcoin. When I eventually get round to that, I'd appreciate some advice and opinions from members here. I'm way behind on the technical advances in Bitcoin for example. I need to find out more about Knots nodes, as I'm considering switching to one.
Reading your comeback post really touched my heart. How you organize yourself, even in difficult times, is very inspiring. I feel good about the news of your partner comeback, although there is a story of hardship behind that comeback. I pray for the peace of his sister soul. Cancer is such a deadly disease that no one can escape it. In any case, I wish her well on the other side.
After hearing about the Volvo 740 and the van, I understood that you are a big fan of technology! However, the plan to make videos is excellent. Because many will learn from your experience, and if you can make videos beautifully now, you can get a lot of reach. Also, the related videos you want to make will get a lot of reach.
You have also considered switching to nodes while doing this backup. So, if you are in a good position, developing innovative ideas is a matter of thinking. Your own full node means freedom in your own hands. I don't know what steps you have taken to run the node. When you start it, you can share it with us. And if you want to start,
Umbrel or
Raspiblitz are excellent options, as long as you have good internet and enough storage.
