Hell yeah. I may have to. I just setup a jade as a miner which is pretty damn plug and play but everything I’m seeing says it’s a solo miner and I think I’d like to have a little something as a pool miner. If I was smarter I’d put some of these old computers I have (I might be a hoarder, and I might also be a wannabe techy) to work in a pool too.

Eric church broke down crying in an interview talking about we shouldn’t own guns, after painting himself an outlaw his whole career. Florida Georgia line (never actually country to begin with but thought they were in their bedazzled never seen a dirt stain jeans) also pushed for gun control while their song that made them famous had “chrome piece tucked in the console” in the chorus. Hypocrisy knows no bounds.

I have stepped on multiple nails in my life, stabbed myself in my left knee, been poked, cut, scraped, scratched and stabbed my all kinds of rusty metal…never got tetanus…might have had the vaccine before I was 5 or 6 but haven’t had any vaccine since then (circa 1995) and I’m pretty sure you were supposed to get tetanus boosters every so often…proper hygiene and proper wound care will keep you from getting most infections stemming from open wounds, generally speaking.

I’ve been wanting to do this but the how-to I’ve found makes zero sense to me cause I’m not a digital circuit nor software type guy…how long did it take you to get one figured out and running?

So, normally include screws suck and we all know that…but that’s normally cause the head strips out or the screw breaks at the first sign of tension….not because you can’t even put a driver on it…

Well, it looks like a bumper now. And I’ve got LED turn signals lol. Probably be another 6 months or more before I get any further, and maybe in that time I can work on setting up the wiring for the winch and QD jumper cables. We’ll see.

Replying to nobody

There are a lot of suggestions to switch to Graphene right now. I tried Graphene twice for weeks at a time on a Pixel 6 Pro. Here are my observations/thoughts.

* None of my banking apps worked.

* Ended up using Google anyways for maps because the "free" alternatives took me miles out of the way or had no clue where things were.

* I never got the full zoom capabilities of my phone's camera to work, despite installing - you guessed it - Google's camera app.

* Swipe to type might as well have been non-existent.

* RCS never activated despite days of trying - oh, and that required installing Google Messages. Most people in the US still use text.

* There feels like a dearth of FOSS photo galleries with competitive editing features. I ended up installing.... Google Photos.

* Backing stuff up automatically... you going to also self-host NextCloud? Are you going to set up SyncThing? This is not a simple software swap - it requires a whole lifestyle.

I'm a software engineer and competent with Linux, etc... and I felt like I had reduced a $800 phone to the equivalent of something I could buy on prepaid for $150.

I'm sure there was a way to "fix" it - but that's the point. I do this for a living, and I don't have time to fix it. My phone has to work. Period.

You guys realize that basically *nobody* outside of this small echo chamber is willing to deal with that right?

I don't even hate the project - I follow several of the developers and they're fucking *awesome human beings* doing amazing work. Essential work that is needed and used by probably 10's or even 100's of thousands of people with high threat profiles. But almost nobody is going to do this unless they have significant other factors contributing to their threat profile, or they're nerds like us who are willing to tinker for hours to get less than what they get by pulling a stock phone out of a box.

The year of the Graphene Phone will happen at the same exact time the year of the Linux Desktop happens. When it just works. 99% of the time. With no sacrifices in feature set or performance.

Fuckin this, 100%. I struggle to even load linux on a computer and get it to boot. I make my living on my phone between the boss man calling me to tell me

Where to go or my side hustle customers calling me to get me another job, I can’t have a phone that halfway works. I’d love to run graphene, but it ain’t plug and play and I don’t have time to learn that skill set. I’m working on it, but I ain’t gonna be where I need to be to run that OS anytime soon.

Good swig of moonshine (or any white corn liquor) will help clear everything out. Honeez (I think that’s how they spell it) are cough drops without a bunch of bull crap in them, the ones with lemon are really strong and open you up pretty well. Other than that it sounds like you already trying the herbal recommendations.

It’s rough, I’m back out here working the deck all day too, and it’s supposed to get up to 88 lol

Woo boy, I’ve learned that I’m no longer 25….stayed up til 1am this morning working on my pathfinder bumper after working on the deck for 8 hours. I may feel a wee bit…uhhhh….tired lol. BUT, much progress was made on the bumper, and hopefully we can finish it up tonight. Wiring the winch up and all may be another day but we’ll see where we get.

Well…back on the Daily Deck….and my usual parking spot is a pond…so that’s neat lol. Hopefully the rain will hold off long enough for some work to get done though.

Oh I do, and I’m excited for it don’t get me wrong. Just wishing we didn’t have to wait lol

We’d have more of that now if not for govt intervention of licensing and permission slips.

Got my boy evan out here helping me on this deck today, in his minty shitbox 4Runner. Yard looking like a truck meet lol
