I was going to try carbon steel(?) next. The weight of cast iron is a pain in the elbow tendonitis.

Really satisfying to get a nice crisp on it without having a ton of oil sizzling everywhere!

Cast iron pan skills getting pretty solid!

* Dry brine for a few hours at room temp on a wire rack, skin side up

* Let the pan get hot, add a bit of avocado oil

* Dab a little oil on the skin side

* Start it skin side down

The dry brining helps a ton! Pulls the moisture away from the exterior surfaces. Previously the skin would always stick and pull away. Now it's beautifully sliding in the pan as if it were an ice rink!

Though those improvements were added by nostr:npub1rfd0hxdzcze6pzj29thuz34vur57wm9quje7w3edxjgusq6m47csnl7wrt as part of his reproducible build work!

My PR just shaves a few secs off the app's startup time after the OS is already up.

Opsec, bruh!

(not really; I'm sure it's pretty easily doxxable)

I support absolutely any life choice nostr@npub1qg8j6gdwpxlntlxlkew7eu283wzx7hmj32esch42hntdpqdgrslqv024kw makes.

Programming a new front door entry code for you right now.

On a mini vacation, but stayed in this AM to get some work done to keep the @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl v0.7.0 release moving forward! I'm one of the bottlenecks at this point so I gotta keep feeding our eager dev team with merge-ready PRs!

v0.7.0 is going to be a massive, massive step forward (even if most of the changes are invisible to the user)!

But have you done a remote QR-only cosign where you send and receive animated QRs as videos?

Cosigner doesn't even need any wallet software. Record the psbt's animated QR and securely send it to your cosigner. They scan it, review tx details on their @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl , sign.

They record the animated QR of their signature and send that video back. You show that QR to your coordinator software and broadcast.

Looks like 9.25¢/kWh would be break even at today's price & hashrate. Home miners can't really expect a profit that way, but if you're using the heat to offset the cost of running your furnace in the winter, then the math swings much harder in your favor.

This past winter, even running old S9s were more or less break even since I didn't have to run my furnace at all which saved me something like $150-200 a month.

Ya, could unleash lots of 110V space heater innovation. Dunno how the ROI math will work out, but def worth playing with. Should get 2-3x the hashrate w/a single s19 hashboard vs an S9 at the same power draw!

This is a big f'n deal for Bitcoiners mining at home.

She's pretty much always chilling in her "co-pilot's" seat while I'm coding, so of course!

Testing a HUGE quality-of-life improvement in upcoming @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl v0.7.0: much faster live preview framerate! Courtesy of @npub1rfd0hxdzcze6pzj29thuz34vur57wm9quje7w3edxjgusq6m47csnl7wrt ! Going from an unacceptable ~1.8fps (in our current v0.6.0) to a more than good enough 5.8fps!

@npub1kumadawgefxjt2c293whsan5sfmdg5tylm0uk39enc6uxxfy5m4scrz2v7 should really be way more impressed.

In ~2nd grade I had a Vietnamese friend whose actual first name was Dung, but thankfully we were all too young to be aware of the word's meaning. But this writer's name would've absolutely slayed all of us.
