Can you convert that into a real token for us ahead of time, or are you going to make people outrace the rug *again*?

Sarcasm note - as pineapple ass Elon will try to sue my cats or something, this is a joke and free speech etc etc.

Hmm, maybe the protocol is just the language used to describe how everyone should build their roads and houses in a way we can all get along, with nobody in charge.

It's unique, whatever you call it. Neat as hell too, some really smart people must have thought it up ;)

I don't think I'll ever not be fascinated by a key pull on a fresh client. Poof, all the things, well sorta, in a way, eventually :)

Got that popping bubble wrap feel to it.

Idiot blames reality for his lack of understanding of it. News at 11.

Another useless fucknugger who think they own our planet and all it's inhabitants for some byzantine reason.

Your ticket gets done wrong and last, lady. You do need someone to run your shit, right?

Ps, I'm not the boss of the internet, but I bring the board drinks.

I was a PFY when TBL made the WWW, and you're stinking up our house.

Hey 🐦- you can keep those 20k posts I made that you grossly monertized without permission or compensation. Perma me all you want, I won't be back Fuck you with a pineapple Elon.

Love,

Joel

I think I finally broke whoever in bird app was in charge of surpressing loudmouths like me. Either they kinda sorta IP banned me, or they broke their own internal api again.

Lol @ again, by the way.

This seems to be the appropriate place for this.

Hey legit, awesome little crypto startups out there trying to give away all the money for adoption - I love you, I really do, right there with you, but the spam links make the entire thing look like a scam that it totally isn't. Bird app is straight up mass hiding any crypto mentions in DMs, even to me and fofs

There has to be a better way.

Ok maybe not #4, I can barely write words legiblly much less be an artist. I'm a born and raised tech, grandpappy was a military electric tech during the Korean war, lol.

AI isn't so bad. It told me this, good advice, think I'll do them all.

Yes, there are several carbon-neutral networking projects similar to Helium mining. Here are a few examples:

1. Chia Network: Chia is a blockchain and cryptocurrency project that aims to provide a more energy-efficient alternative to traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. It utilizes a technology called "proof of space and time" where users contribute unused hard drive space instead of computational power, dramatically reducing energy consumption.

2. Althea: Althea is a decentralized mesh network protocol that allows users to set up their own local internet networks and earn cryptocurrency by sharing excess bandwidth with others. It aims to provide internet connectivity in underserved regions while minimizing energy consumption by using low-power wireless technology.

3. Nexus Earth: Nexus is a blockchain platform that combines a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism with a low-energy-consuming proof-of-holdings process. The protocol reduces energy consumption by incentivizing token holders to keep their tokens in dedicated wallets, promoting network security.

4. NKN (New Kind of Network): NKN is a blockchain-based network connectivity protocol that enables users to share network bandwidth and earn cryptocurrency in return. The protocol uses novel networking technologies such as cellular automata and incentivizes users to contribute their idle bandwidth and computation resources.

These projects aim to provide sustainable and energy-efficient solutions for networking and blockchain applications. However, it's important to conduct your own research and assessment of each project's environmental impact and practices before getting involved.

The most profitable way to make money with computing power at home depends on various factors, including the type of hardware you have, your level of technical expertise, and the current market conditions. Here are a few options that are often considered profitable:

1. Cryptocurrency mining: Mining popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum can be profitable if you have specialized mining hardware (ASICs for Bitcoin or GPUs for Ethereum) and access to cheap electricity. However, it's important to consider the rising difficulty and competition in mining, as well as the volatility of cryptocurrency prices.

2. Distributed computing projects: Some projects, like Folding@home or BOINC, allow users to contribute their computing power for scientific research purposes. While they may not offer direct financial rewards, they contribute to important causes and can sometimes provide incentives such as tokens or network reputation.

3. Cloud computing services: If you have spare computing power and expertise, you can offer your services on cloud computing platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure. This allows you to utilize your hardware resources and get paid for providing computing services to others.

4. Content creation: If you have a powerful computer and creative skills, you can use your hardware to create and sell digital content like graphic designs, animations, or music. Platforms like Etsy, Shutterstock, or freelance marketplaces enable you to monetize your creations.

It's important to note that the profitability of these options can vary greatly, and it's crucial to assess factors such as energy costs, hardware expenses, and market trends before investing time and resources.

Building and networking the cores is like building a LEGO set, ezpz.

Now getting k3s working the way I want, now *that's* a challenge. I should just listen to the wise bearded NetworkChuck on YT, but what would I Iearn that way 😂

I have a lot of cleanup to do before pictures, it's like I tore HAL to pieces in here lol

Who would have thought some rando old nerd from flyover country could build a semi decent, solar power assisted, collection of networked machines that could approach being called a data center without laughing.

Power of open source and nostr, y'all.

Sounds sappy, but nostr gave me the joy of tech that M$ stole from me for all those years.

What started as, oh yeah, that's how twitter should work, I should make a little relay of my own turned into discovering ⚡, nostr, rediscovering Linux and embracing Ubuntu, and finding so much cool shit out there for free it blows my mind.

And I still need to get that damn relay up now that my pipes are unclogged, lol.

Of course it was too good to be true, lol @ me. The war with the great information beast of our age continues.

Prove it ;)

Today, I post in praise of Comcast. You may be wondering why the sudden change in attitude given my recent posts.

It's a long story, in summation, a mutually beneficial agreement was made, I get exactly what I wanted cheaper, and it's been an amazingly good day of hard work building. Shout out to Christopher @comcast for your huge lift.

Yes, yes it is, today's latest amazing wonder. Starting to become routine.

Thanks for the whole world paradigm change with nostr thing by the way, your timing was impeccable, was cool of you to do.

I am currently excoriating Comcast or whatever name they chose this month for trying to insist to me of all people that my lovely new Motorola docsis 3.1 isn't able to handle a static IP, and I couldn't be happier. Why?

Att fiber came to my neighborhood last week and installed it yesterday. Shit felt like a survivor at helms deep when gandalf the white showed up.
