So here is my first completed 3d print - a stamp holder in white. The crappy case my stamps came with is in orange above. And the first stamped washer I did is on the right… #3dprinting #grownostr

Started my first real 3d printing job today. Very excited. #3dprinting #grownostr #ender

I'm a hard core East Coast (USA) skier. I'm happy for Mammoth mountain (season extended to August 6), but very, very jealous

Los Angeles Times

Mammoth Mountain extends ski season into August for third time ever

Historic snowfall has brought an unusually extended ski season to Mammoth Mountain, where snowboarders and skiers continue to soar down the slopes.

My project backlog is already too large and now Start9 #[0] puts more VERY cool things in my queue. This one is so cool that it just may get bumped to the top of the list. TLDR: SimpleX might be the most promising solution to simple, private, decentralized messaging yet!

Just read an Atlas Society email (Juneteenth related) that reminded me about their Frederick Douglass video -

We have a wonderful time share in Cabo San Lucas. It is a gorgeous executive suite (sleeps 6 w/balcony ocean view) for the holiday week Dec 25 to Jan 1.

If you are an Atlas Shrugged Fan, check out the Atlas Society's latest "Draw My Life - Ragnar Danneskjold". Actually, even if you aren't a fan of the book, it's only a 5 minute video and worth a watch. #grownostr #atlasshrugged #aynrand #atlassociety

Bitcoin fee estimation can be very tricky. Someone paid 34,146 sat/vB for a transaction - $1,222 ?!?!?

Explore the full Bitcoin ecosystem with The Mempool Open Source Project®. See the real-time status of your transactions, get network info, and more.

Why would anyone overpay by so much. I took a deeper dive and discovered it was a CPFP transaction pulling a 2.8sat/vB transaction along. So effectively they paid 52.8 sat/vB, which is about right for the fee at the time. What's CPFP? It's child pays for parent - a fee bumping technique that allows you to add extra sats to a fee for a transaction (child) that depends upon the original transaction (parent) and thereby get transactions in a block sooner. Miners look for combinations of transactions where even if a given transaction has a low fee, by including it and higher fee transactions that depend on the 'parent' low fee transaction they can earn more total fees. So much to learn about Bitcoin!!! #bitcoin #bitcoinfees #mempool #cpfp #rbf

Running my private #nostrrelay on my #start9 server. It's very cool that I can see my connection from snort.social posting my DM (event kind 4) to my very own relay. With that and my other posts (including this one) archived on my own relay I am #uncensorable !!!! Is it time to consider "Not your relay not your posts"? I am still very early in my nostr journey - perhaps we all are. There is so much more for me to learn. #grownostr #relay #startos
