- Discussion of “umbrel” as a low-cost, always-on Raspberry Pi stack for running a Lightning node and Electrum server, with Tor access for remote use (~$2–3/year electricity).  
- Mention of using an existing Raspberry Pi that continuously streams BBC World Service via mpv as an example of always-on home hardware.  
- Brief exchange on inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion as a possible topic of prior conversation.  
- Concerns raised about fragmented IRC logging: missing days on gnusha.org, the difficulty of merging logs after network splits, and skepticism toward “bitcoin-inspired” solutions for log integrity.  
- Practical suggestion to simply publish any log discrepancies and let the community decide whether merged perspectives are necessary.
