New home connection is possibly overkill

Hey , when self hosting alby hub how persistent does the nwc.db (or postgres) need to be? Like if that DB happens to get deleted, but the rest of the work_dir survives, upon reboot would it just rebuild the nwc database? In my homelab persistent storage is provided by an NFS share. Right now the entire workdir is a share. But the sqlite queries are often pretty slow (likely from the NFS overhead. Trying to decided whether I externalize a postgres DB or just let the sqlite DB write to a truly local file on the computer node (where it would lose its persistence guarantees)

Sometimes I just go back and reread some of 's older essays

Lightning is Bitcoin. Don't be silly.

Respectfully, disagree. Bitcoin's breakthrough was that you don't have to trust *a central bank*. Bitcoins breakthrough is trustless scarcity. Hyper-bitcoinization does not imply trust is removed from every layer of our markets (financial or otherwise). Markets necessarily require financialization, and financialization requires varying levels of consensual trust. That consensual trust is GOOD and beneficial as long as the foundation is a sound money. It does not mean trust further up the stack will never be broken, of course it will. But when that trust is built/broken on top of a sound money, the system can heal properly. Various market interactions will always trend towards centralization and trusted models, because they are inherently more efficient along the happy path. That's a good thing (once coercion is removed!).
