You should not need an account on a corporate server in order to use software.

There's a few reasons but mainly so I can help build more packages for Start9

nix-bitcoin to start9

System of a down

Gm, me and my girlfriend tried Europe’s finest sparkling water and came to the conclusion that S. Pellegrino is the smoothest, Borsec is a close second, while Perrier is overrated.

Anyway, here’s last night’s nightmare:

A Bitcoin philosopher came up with a theory that block space is as scarce as the 21 million supply.

Wait, what?

The worst part: he’s getting a cult following of believers who now think he’s some kind of genius.

So how can something predictable, whose schedule we know for the next 116 years, be just like something that is infinite (there will be a new block every 10 minutes for as long as someone mines Bitcoin) and which was changed many times in Bitcoin’s existence (most recently, in 2017 with SegWit)?

These people are batshit crazy. If you go back to study the history of the block size wars, you will see that even the small block camp said “not now” and/or “not under the terms presented by the New York Agreement”. Ask any developer today and he will agree that 8 MB or 16 MB blocks would benefit Bitcoin users worldwide with a minimal impact on decentralization.

But this is beside the point: of course the phony philosopher gets praise in an environment where businesses sell custodial solutions that take advantage of Bitcoin’s lack of scaling. It’s a multi-million dollar business and there’s a lot of money to be made from exchanges, federations and mints.

The worst part is that most bitcoiners struggle differentiating between facts and dogma. Instead of listening to the devs being interviewed on the Bitcoin Takeover podcast, they seek comfort in predictable LARPing which feeds them reassurance.

So happy that I woke up from this nightmare and now I’m dealing with reasonable human beings who can do their own research!

Maybe we should increase the block size so they can use bmps instead of jpegs

Is there a foss relay that can be configure to do this or is it still a roll-your-own thing?

Your cluckbait worked on me so I wanna read this but I don't have X

Cluck cluck

Hardware can be backdoored, is I think what he was getting at

I also make the trade off of buying used. Android phones lose value so quickly

Switched to kagi a week or so ago and it's been good. I'm less inclined to avoid using web search. I don't use It a lot but it's still a valuable tool for me.

nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg you can attest to having ecash to the mint without revealing your identity right? Seems like this would be an ideal way to authenticate to a paid relay (using ecash) because it enables changing npubs but still proving you paid for write access or priveleged web of trust status, etc.

that asparagus looks amazing

Things I thought I would never say

Finally got around to updating my disposable email playbook to support more than one domain on a server. 📨📬

nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev I'm testing out kagi.com right now. I saw you recommend it, how are your feelings about it?

I started using too after seeing them do an AMA on stacker news. It's been alright, at least as good as duckduckgo. Best of all it's not chock full of ads. I kinda don't mind refining my search of I have to
