Local News: "...pests like the stink bug and spotted lanternfly have no known predators." Me: [orders bug-a-salt gun] "Time to fix that." 🤣

Seems like the next natural progression would be for phones to have no internal battery, or one just big enough to function like a UPS long enough for you to swap out the external puck 🤣 View quoted note →

It was brought to my attention yesterday, some of us are under the apparently inaccurate assumption that running a Start9 or Umbrel out of our homes somehow helps future node runners with IBD. My most recent IBD took over two weeks. To me that's un-[expletive]-acceptable in 2025, not with all the big money that has now come into Bitcoin. You can stick a fat Virginia boy into a metal tube and have him eating authentic Chinese food in China in a fraction of the time it takes to get a new node up and running. How do we fix this if most of our hardware and residential ISPs can't handle it? Sneakernet? Donations to those with the proper hardware and connections?

Best description of the Canaan Nano 3s: 1) a small heater that can mine bitcoin, or 2) a miner that can heat a small space? I ask because the intended recipient is an elderly lady with zero interest in bitcoin mining, so she's not going to have any patience for something 'fiddly'.

An 'old saying' from the future: "A watched node never syncs."

Freakin' Core vs Knots war will be settled by the time this IBD finishes. How about y'all figure out a way to disguise blocks as dirty movies and trick the porn sites into relaying blocks.

Turning a $150 AC Into a Super-Efficient Geothermal Unit! [spoiler: final cost was closer to $700 excluding their own labor] Also, they didn't mention the potential cost of bringing it into compliance with matriarchal aesthetic standards. I'm sure my wife's initial response would be something along the lines of: 'You added tentacles to an already hideous window unit, good job.' 🤣

Hunter fell 30 feet out of his tree stand. In stable condition but in a difficult location for recovery. Farmer cutting hay struck an object sparking a brush fire less than a quarter-mile from a local factory. All before lunch time. Support your local fire and EMS, especially the volunteers.

Is there a way to donate to help njump.me keep the lights on?
