This is AMAZING! So unexpected (had no idea you were doing this at the talks!) and SO COOL!!!
It is w/ a heavy, yet full ❤️ that I hang up my 🧢 from nostr:npub1theparkprcs70dcs437ke9zzwsr6u60f8flu7rg28m30438aep9sd94dha. The last 2+ yrs have gone beyond my wildest dreams. I love this community & the vision of BP. I am grateful that nostr:npub1atn7mlwt08erz4ap47gef92xfey65a4z9ed9vec53u5kc9v94pusl6h4x3
& nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx took a flier on me. Truly, ty to all who enriched my life in this chapter. 🫂
Waaat? nostr:nprofile1qqstwd7k7hyv5nf94v9zchtcwe6gyak529j0ah7tgjueudwrryj2d6cprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0hxhvc5 can't believe this news!!
You're a huge reason why the Park has had such an amazing vibe!
Hoping whatever comes next for you is awesome and I'll be looking forward to hearing all about it the next time I see you!
No room for scope creep nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg!
Update for those of you who have dropped Twitter entirely:
Elon thinks this is a good UI.
"... More"?! Are you f'n kidding me? 🤣
Imagine being the PM who's feature didn't make the cut: "Sorry Brian, just can't justify putting a 13th item in the list; gotta keep things short and sweet so we don't overwhelm users. 12 is the sweet spot."
YO, THIS IS THE (breadmaking technique) PEP TALK I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I DESPERATELY NEEDED!!!
Even if you dgaf about breadmaking, just watch it anyway. She's DELIGHTFULLY nerdy and enthusiastic. But it's also kind of great advice for... life. And delivered so warmly and so kindly.

Okay, but actually wtf is she talking about? "Scoring" dough is the final step before baking. YouTubers always make it look so f'n easy.

Reality for a noob is disastrous. It's hard to imagine a razor blade having any trouble at all with soft dough -- until you try it for yourself! The outer skin wants to stretch rather than shear. The razor just kind snags and pulls and clumps. And then the inner dough is super sticky. Ends up looking like you tried to use a chainsaw.
This morning I took inspiration from her pep talk and FINALLY succeeded at scoring my dough! ZIP!!! CONFIDENT, fast, smooth, sliced right through like the easiest thing in the world!
Absolutely ASTONISHING difference. And this was with the exact same razor that I've been struggling with the last few weeks.

excerpts from:
There's definitely a fox that shows up from time to time in the backyard. That's the only daytime concern. Later night visits from neighborhood cat (maybe a threat to chickens?), skunks (no), opossum (no). Raccoons (?), too, but haven't seen any in a while.
Sounds like for longer trips I'd hopefully recruit a more willing / outdoorsy neighbor for at least a weekly check in and all the free eggs they care to take!
How long do you think I could be away from home if there's no one around to help out?
And separate from that, I do have helpful neighbors, but not sure how willing they'll be to really get in there while I'm on a trip. How big of an ask would it be if I'll be gone for a couple of weeks? Meaning: how much effort / unpleasantness and how often?
Thanks!
I would definitely build my own coop; that would be a big part of the initial fun for me.
Chicago suburbs so def have winters to plan around.
I would probably want to run power to it to have a webcam in there, maybe a programmable door. Would also simplify preventing water from freezing. It is cool that some basic shelter plus their feathers are enough for them to survive in the cold.
I actually have been thinking about backyard chickens. Too much travel planned right now, but mebbe in the spring.
A friend gave me some of her #sourdough starter.
Biochem is neat!
Next step: work in some dark rye and whole wheat flour to kick up the activity and flavor.

Quick FYI for any nostr:npub17xvf49kht23cddxgw92rvfktkd3vqvjgkgsdexh9847wl0927tqsrhc9as Global Bitcoin Summit attendees who are playing with their #Bitaxe:
When I plugged mine in, the little display stayed blank. But everything else worked fine. I figured it was just a bad screen.
BUT...
IT LIVES!!!
Turns out I just needed to do a firmware update on it.
Initial Bitaxe connection:
Plug it in and, even though the screen might be blank, check the available wifi networks on your laptop. One of them should be something like "Bitaxe_blahblah". Connect to it and the Bitaxe web UI should come up.
From there you should be able to go to Settings in the web UI and I'd recommend updating the firmware FIRST.
Update firmware:
Click the links under Latest Release to save the esp-miner.bin and www.bin files. Ideally verify their hashes against the official releases.
Then Update Firmware (select the esp-miner.bin you downloaded) and Update Website (the www.bin file).
It'll reboot and you might need to tell your laptop to reconnect to the Bitaxe's wifi access point. Hopefully your Bitaxe's little display will now come to life.
Once that's done, then you can enter your wifi SSID/password via the web UI to get your Bitaxe onto your local network. Also configure your solo mining pool, btc payout address, and worker name.
Once those are saved, it'll connect to your local wifi and the previous Bitaxe wifi access point will be disabled.
ps: I recommend configuring your Bitaxe to solo mine to https://solo.ckpool.org -- its reporting UI seems to be a bit more reliable than the sexier looking public-pool.io
pps: If you need to get back into the Bitaxe web UI once it's on your wifi network, you'll need to access it via its local IP address (watch the cycling display; one of the readouts tells you its IP) by typing that into a web browser on a device that's also connected to your local network (e.g. your phone connected to the same wifi).

That all being said... I don't see any display-related bug fixes in the release notes.
Can anyone in-the-know confirm that the firmware update was actually the reason why my screen came back to life?
Unfortunately I didn't note which firmware version was onboard before the update.

OMG spent an hr or two on a draft doc, took nostr:npub1kumadawgefxjt2c293whsan5sfmdg5tylm0uk39enc6uxxfy5m4scrz2v7 for a walk, then returned to discover that my laptop had unexpectedly rebooted itself.
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.
I learned this lesson via constant Win95 crashes decades ago (CTRL-S is burned into my muscle memory). Stunning to be bit by it again in 2024.
I absent mindedly pet nostr:npub1kumadawgefxjt2c293whsan5sfmdg5tylm0uk39enc6uxxfy5m4scrz2v7 while I code. But I mostly kind of forget that she exists when my mind is elsewhere.
But eventually she'll remind me that there's an actual being next to me. And sometimes when I look over to re-engage with her, it's clear that she never forgot that I was there.
Dogs are the best.

Translations for nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl getting closer. Currently working with a Frankenstein branch that's using some early translations from two years ago but now stuffed into our v0.7.0 code (from Nov 2023).
Have a few bugs to fix at this interim milestone. Then will get this v0.7.0 + multilanguage branch up to parity with the v0.8.0 release (Aug 2024).
THEN we'll work with translation experts (leaning on nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3) to fill in all the holes and rework text that doesn't fit in the UI.
At which point we'll be very close to a de facto v0.9.0. Hopefully in time for a debut at nostr:npub1ad0ptuzte83alpkpqqctvewlaqj5zq23c83m82xw8apg4t6zlyns6xng2c next month!
Two native speakers told me there's no abbreviation for "Herramientas". 😭
A previous translator had opted for "útiles". 🤷♂️
