[H-GEN] HLB in-person meeting, Thursday July 23, 2026 6.30 pm - Carindale Library - My Hardware; My Software; My Money

[David Guest]

This Thursday Homelab Brisbane is meeting at Carindale Library at 6.30 p.m.

Baz from Bitcoin Brisbane 
<https://www.meetup.com/en-au/bitcoin_brisbane/> and BneBitDevs 
<https://www.meetup.com/en-au/bitcoin_brisbane/events/315569287/?eventOrigin=group_past_events> is 
presenting. He is a co-ordinator for both these groups and is passionate 
about building a community that values hard money that can be 
self-hosted and managed independent of fiat monetary system.

Modern software stacks like Umbrel <https://umbrel.com/?country=AU> and 
Start9 <https://start9.com> enable you to be your own bank; to hold and 
to store your own money; and to spend it privately and conveniently. Baz 
will cover how Bitcoin compares to current monies (AUD, USD, Gold...) 
but go a little deeper on the functions of Bitcoin Core, Electrs 
<https://github.com/romanz/electrs/blob/master/README.md>; Lightning 
<https://lightning.network>, Alby Hub <https://getalby.com/alby-hub>; 
Alby Go <https://getalby.com/alby-go>; NOSTR <https://nostr.org> and 
Fountain <https://blog.fountain.fm>.

For the homelabber adding Umbrel to manage your money is just another 
node on your network. Come Thursday night to see how to enable it.
