Man, I've tried hard to like, or tolerate, 404 Media, but I think I have to give up.
They cover topics I'm interested in, like digital privacy/security, but they are so biased it's unpalatable.
In this interview, they discuss research around how tribalism has created a social/political impasse, which I agree with. But, then, go on to argue that the solution is not changing hearts and minds through seeking understanding and exchange of ideas, but to shift everyone to their tribe, because they know the true truth.
Such a lack of self-awareness and understanding of the real problem is disappointing. Their worldview is stuck in the us-vs-them paradigm; completely propagandized.

How Identity Literally Changes What You See (with Samuel Bagg)
Joseph speaks to Samuel Bagg about all the ways identities dictate what people see, and how what they choose to believe is based much more on those...
First, I tried Alby Hub, as people were saying it is super easy. Got to the last step and it just didn't work. The file will not run as an executable. Permissions say it should.
Second, I tried LND. Their tutorial got me through installation, but configuration is getting trickier. I'm pushing the boundaries of my Linux knowledge. Trying to find config files I don't know exist and don't know their location. It's also looking like there are some dependencies I don't understand.
I've previously tried a Pi running Start9, but it just failed to download the blockchain repeatedly.
I've thought about running a Start9 on a virtual machine on my Linux PC, but got an error during initial set up.
