I agree, someone could step in, own the land of Gaza, build it back up and then put Israel in the position that if they attack again they won’t just be attacking the Gazans but would be attaching another sovereign nation.

But AMERICA isn’t that nation to do that.

Yes this is why am skeptical about the unit of measure his cousin is using!

#BITCOIN MINING OPPORTUNITIES EVERYWHERE! ⚡⛏️

A Lebanese pleb I’ve been mentoring for a while just called me.

He casually drops:

“My cousins own a building with 3000 KWs of stranded energy. Can it be used for mining?”

Me: “What’s the kWh cost?”

Him: “Basically zero.” 😳

What a lovely Monday #nostr! 🧡⚡

Goal

Not so much

Eating chicken drumsticks, thighs or breast is one thing, but eating a bunch of chicken hearts makes me feel like a devourer of life ☠️ 🔪 🩸

أسبوعين وأنا بحاول ارتب اجتماع.

هذا بحد ذاته يوضح طبيعة المشكلة اللي الإنسانية عايشينها.

Exactly 👍

But also I don't play games, so I assumed people who are into their videogames don't find setting up their operating systems fun and just want to get lost in their games. 😅

Arch is a barebones distro which can do practically anything.

But then most Linux distributions can do almost anything. I think you can take Ubuntu and put a different desktop environment on it if you wanted.

Once you realise that all Linux disros are just a standard Linux kernel, some drivers and your package manager of choice, and that everything else is just a preconfigured package so you don't need to set EVERYTHING else up from scratch, you realise that all Linux can run everything.

Arch is barebones, and this means there is unlikely to be anything that prevents you from getting what you want installed and functioning, but if your definition of hardware compatibility and compatibility in general means that it isn't just available as a single click on an app store, then you probably aren't looking for a barebones Linux, you're looking for a preconfigured package which is harder to find IMO.

I personally love Arch, it takes work to setup, but you get to understand almost everything about your operating system and the applications installed on it. Documentation is very good too for most things and troubleshooting.

If you want a package based on Arch to get started quicker and not need to learn much, then I think Manjaro is your best bet. But I've never used it since I just created my own lean setup with things I need and none of the things I don't need.

I would say that Arch is one of the best distros in terms of hardware compatibility. It has rolling updates and rich user repository (AUR). But in most cases the supported is the same across all distros, they all are Linux and in most cases it’s more about vendor being generous enough to provide Linux support.

Regarding gaming: Steam OS is actually Arch-based so you can be confident that it will run Proton flawlessly too

I only got my first bitaxe miner a couple of weeks ago. While I'm still testing the waters with a measly 700 GH/s, I'm interested to grow a bit. I'm not sure I'll ever hit a PH/s, but seems to me there is a doable trek. Also, energy prices where I live are relatively low.

I have three questions:

- at what point it's reasonable to switch from pool mining to solo? Currently with viaBTC, I don't like it, but, again, I'm testing the waters.

- which leads to my second question, what would be a good strategy to pick a pool?

- how do I calculate at what hashrate I should expect a return? Given I know exactly how much energy I'm spending.

I'm thinking out loud here: My end goal is one of two, I have yet to decide:

Either make a profit, or help defending the network; or both. It will depend on how fast I ramp up my hash rate, I guess. Perhaps, break even then solo? Thoughts?
