Something like $40 per year in power bill, maybe

No one on the stage. No one in the audience. Maybe they’ll get ‘em next year.

A router behind the isp router will only complicate things imo, it will increase your eletricity bill too.

My security strategy is always: less devices.

Ditch your home router, you don't need it.

ISP routers are all closedsource, filled with vulnerabilities and rarely get firmware updates—overall a huge risk in your security.

On average, wi-fi routers consume 5 to 20 watts of electricity, running 24/7/365. You will save a lot of sats.

Instead, get an unlimited 4G/5G mobile plan and use your #GrapheneOS phone as hotspot.

we can’t all be suitcoiners

Any suggestions for a guide for family finance #freedomtech ?

I want to be able to pay the kids in sats for extra chores and let them monitor the savings but I don’t want them to manage their keys or be able to sell or spend until adulthood.

Suggestions? Guides?

I think JPEGs on the timechain are stupid.

But the idea that they're going to hurt Bitcoin seems so weak to me. Like the US dollar can withstand people scribbling on it but Bitcoin can't?

In fact, the idea of Bitcoin as a glorious digital monument with some graffiti scribbled on it represents humanity pretty well. That's kind of us in a nutshell. Seems on-brand. Perfectionists trying to keep their little gardens tidy while trolls come in and find ways to mess with them anyway.

NFTs and memecoins already had their peak fad moments. People now know that they're non-scarce gambling toys rather than investments. It's just echoes of that peak now. The only thing that concerned me about the ordinals/runes period was the rapid UTXO bloat, not the blockspace usage, since the latter already has a consensus limit on it.

And if Bitcoin transactions can't outprice JPEGs in the long run, then it's just not that valuable. Bitcoin currently does about 1% of the gross settlement volume of Fedwire. That's peanuts. Imagine if it reaches a point where it does even like 10% of Fedwire. What would you pay to move a full bitcoin globally, permissionlessly, in 10 minutes, in a world where it's no longer a niche thing?

Yes, I profile people based on the tld they’ve selected.

AI really just deprecated the fuck out of India when you think about it.

I'm doing this for a very non-tech savvy person who's used to Windows 8-10-11, so that's why I went with Mint, but I will check it out

I offered to install Linux Mint for someone on a Windows PC (brand new) and before beginning the setup, I verified everything was running perfectly, including the CD/DVD drive, which is now not recognized at all on Linux Mint 22.

Any tips? I have scoured the search engines, Linux forums, Reddit, etc. for weeks. If the hardware was working before install (and I did not move or bump the machine after that)

It's OK if you don't know, I'd appreciate if you please just boost this note 🙏 TY in advance #asknostr #linux #linuxhelp

recently read about bitcoin SV

the blockchain is like 11 terabytes and there are 20 reachable nodes, of those only 10 are in sync

Lol
