GUYS GUYS GUYS! My “local” (3h / 250km away) Costco has beef tallow! Definitely not cheap, and I still want to try making it myself (I haven’t been able to source fat), but available means normie exposure means more available.

“our threat models are likely different :)” I cannot scream this loud enough. Different solutions for different threat models! Not everybody’s Nostr setup needs to be nation-state-attack-proof! Hell not even my fiat banking needs anything beyond basic MFA. View quoted note →

I feel the same way about things like wrench attacks and complex inheritance situations. If you’re in the situation you have bigger problems than your bitcoin (or fiat). That being said, you might be surprised how often the most effective solution to many of these problems is having a gun 🤷‍♂️ View quoted note →

First bitcoin transaction selling cold-brew coffee at the local farmers market! Tiny town in northern Canada. New things typically take a long time to catch on here, so this is exceptional! image

I’ve put money on nothing happening. With the new rules a referendum is easier to trigger but 50+% of the vote is still required to pass a referendum, and more than that lives in the major centers. Good luck, and I hope you prove me wrong 🫡 image

Users reported intermittent internet slowdowns. Suspected wireless backhaul to building. During physical inspection noticed 110v electric fan running nearby. Network cable feeding AP ran within 12 inches of the motor. Turned off fan, internet speeds increased, no user complaints since. Will either reroute the cable or move the fan. Always 👏 check 👏 layer 1 👏

What’s the encrypted messaging system/service du jour? I’ve been using Element / Matrix self-hosted but it doesn’t seem to be much of an ecosystem with Element kinda soloing the whole thing. #asknostr

Fun fact, a version of this is what was recommended for my type 2 narcolepsy. Ideally more than 3 hours of sleep at night though. View quoted note →

I want to (finally) get a Bitaxe (Gamma), but being in Canada my options are: 1 - Buy from a Canadian retailer and pay about $290CAD, and most likely wait months (some posters reporting 4+ months). 2 - Buy from an American retailer and pay about $335CAD + ??? duty/import fees, but have it in a few weeks. I don’t like either option. Has anyone done a group buy directly from whoever is physically manufacturing these things? What are order minimums like?
