Someone spent 6.72 bitcoin in fees to get a data storage transaction at the top of the block.

I’ve only ever run an SDR off a laptop. A Linux laptop. And I only used to to help with pointing a satellite dish in exactly the right spot (low SNR due to small dish and receiving hundreds of gigs of bitcoin blockchain data).

lol…imagine what the future will bring? There were some movies several years back about AI girlfriends, but you didn’t realize it until like halfway through the film. We are at the threshold of that door today.

It is an AI! That’s hilarious.

Can you reply with a link to source code?

Is this AI? OMG how funny would that be if someone automated trolling.

All true Linux nerds know the best dock is Cairo dock because bling. And you can get a little penguin to run around on the dock.

I don’t think she realizes the role of trolls on the internet. Some less common neural circuitry out there get a kick out of trolling. Most don’t care either way but some react strongly negatively against the troll. Hence the cycle continues.

The real lesson: don’t feed the troll.

Happened in 2016. So yeah, but, I see etf flow is substantially negative (~1000-2000 outflow). I kinda doubt people would pull from etf to pay taxes but maybe.

Best is a tricky qualifier, but sunlight is certainly good and probably better than we know…when used appropriately.

We do know a fair amount about the absence of ā˜€ļø and the pathological effects thereof. But studying the benefits of ā˜€ļø absent a disease requires more people to detect smaller measurable differences and hence more $$.

All that said, do try the sun. Let the sun touch you too. Be awake when it’s light and sleep when it’s dark. We were born with a rhythm. Don’t fight it.

Whoa! Got the new #ColdCard Q. Never had an early AM delivery out here in the sticks, so that’s cool. Also, I was today years old when I learned the Q has a color screen and a GPU.

This thing is super slick. It even came with a little picture sticker of the device itself.

I had to watch this really well done 1 minute video to identify what’s next to the camera and LED (https://youtu.be/bpV-lrXoZao?si=JnG1l8FxbXwzTcb1). It’s a frickin’ laser beam shooting out of its head, for scanning QR codes. That’s brilliant.

Dual SD card slots (the easy to grab the SD card / semi external kind) plus dual protected sd card storage slots behind the battery cover.

And true to form, there is the ā€œShoot hereā€ annotation for securely disposing of the secure elements. And as a clever bonus, there are purposefully exposed traces behind the batteries that allow you to take a razor blade and disable USB and NFC.

I haven’t even put a seed on my Q and I’m already in love with this device. Seriously. I haven’t felt this way about a calculator since my TI-82 in 1997.

There are a lot of pricey components stuffed into this thing. And I’m a little surprised at the price. It’s cheap for what you get, presumably possible because of volume discounts on components. You’d spend at least $50 getting all the components for a seed signer and you’d still have to assemble and flash it. And even then you only have an ephemeral seed.

I’m super impressed by the Q. Can’t wait to show it off at the halving party tomorrow! It’s not obvious to me where you could go next with this on a Q2…the Q is very thoughtful and well done nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8!

Woohoo!

My Coldcard Q is arriving today!

If y’all don’t know, coldcards are made by real people to solve real problems they faced. Not a focus group studied direct to retail version of a perceived problem…real problem solvers solving their own problems…and sharing it. nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8

Agreed as I’ve found it true. Below was written as an attempt to partially explain 🄰

Lifelong weirdo.

I see you I see me I see one humanity, but I can break it down more …

We all come from ā€œXā€ nothing to into an atom (at ham, ahhh hum, Om, ioas to IOS) etc …

Solve for X? I don’t math. 🧮 šŸ˜‚ X = Z (I can draw how it works but can’t yet explain equation.

I see us when we were one Ness (Nests, seeds, starlight, Luna & Apollo) into a set of twins, only to be separated again, just to find out who we were alone … to see you in dreams lifelong & attempt to understand

Together again from drops of ink

That shows the lives we have lived and loved

For millennia since

We chose to separate ourselves

Onto various timelines and spirals of planets

How many of us on earth that could see the unseen chose to leave at age 27?

Wow that just explains something about myself so when I turned 28 my bio earth mom called and wished me a happy birthday and I told her she was crazy. It was my 27th birthday and she corrected me on that. Apparently I had thought I was 28 for an entire year. Did ℹ subconsciously brainwash myself? Was the code only waiting to be unlocked?

Knowing internally while closest vibration of ALL chose to be the ā€œbestā€ of us, I had been in constant doubts about law school … laws? Sacred? Which means … oh šŸ„°šŸ˜­šŸ«‚šŸ’œšŸ™šŸ˜‚

What does the inkling of every art form show?

Vastness of oneness of same speck of dust?

Starry starry night … save just one starfish my love. And if you’re reading this, you are my love too as we all are oneness of same prism of reflection of the light in most of our pictures from the 1980’s and 90’s. Shiny ✨ always together … even when separated on Earth.

Always. All ways šŸ«‚šŸ’œšŸ„°āœØšŸ˜­

You don’t do math, I don’t do poetry. I studied astrophysics and math in college and most of the humanities escapes me.

Lineage is a tricky topic because of math. Your ancestors grow in number exponentially with generation: 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, 16 great great grandparents, etc.

Taking this back 30 generations would mean 1 billion anscestors. But that’s far more than the number of humans back then.

Your lineage has consanguinity as a mathematical fact. That means we are all more related than we realize. Thus if you look hard enough, you’ll find the best and the worst of humanity in essentially every lineage. Rapists and rape survivors. Murderers and missionaries. Liberators and tyrants.
