Very good advice, I’ve been thinking of doing this. Any smart plug should work, right?

You’re in Thailand. Sweet. For how long?

So feet are great. But lets do legs. Legs are veey sexy

I must say, this relay config has been working really well so far. Smooth, fast loading. And bonus, the welcome relay shows me the new plebs in global without needing to fight spam.

Might add one more paid relay so I’m not relying on a single relay provider, and maybe a private for backup - other than that, very happy!

Nice work #[0]​ and #[1]

goodmorning <3

GM 🤜🤛

Have a great Sunday 🎉 🎂

LOL. Profits or prophet?

Pretty sure Mac does

I'm not saying all those people were right. Maybe none of them were right. But the supression of dissenting opinion is I believe eventually fatal to a society one way or another.

Consider the thousands of medical professionals who spoke out against lockdowns, or masks, or vaccinating into a pandemic when the virus was sure to mutate, or the risk that mRNA needed more testing, or the efficacy of ivermectin, or anything else that differed from the consensus. They were all ostracised, many lost their licenses, many doctors and nurses here in New Zealand still haven't gotten their jobs back and we are desperately short of medical staff. How likely is it that next time someone will bravely speak out what they believe? Practically none. That means that medical science can no longer correct mistakes. Every mistake becomes dogma that can never be overturned. That only leads to bad places.

We all default to the consensus on issues we are not informed about, which are most issues because we specialize. If I want to learn how to make the best steel for a given application, I look it up.

The people I'm talking about stick to the consensus even in light of overwhelming evidence against that is presented to them. They just don't allow themselves to see it, or they find some way to misinterpret it or take a perverse perspective, or more often than not resort to ad hominem attacks, in order to maintain their prior belief system.

I believe a signficant fraction of scientsists do this even within their own field of expertise. Out of fear. It takes bravery to present a paper that shows that everyone has been wrong all this time. The reward is great, so you would think that would be enough incentive, but today there is often too much risk that you will lose your funding.

This is what I want to better understand: what about other chains makes it easier for, say, a frontend dev to dive in? Which bits do you see as missing from the Bitcoin stack?

😅 hahah check it now
