If you were wondering why half of the boards need rework, part of the reason is that the solder page has trouble fitting through the holes in the solder mask. It sometimes gets clogged up. #electronics #signet #GrowNostr

Garlic. 🧄

We do the same thing with our green onions. Buy them once and just keep on harvesting. If we don't need any when they're ready, we just cut 'em up and dry 'em for later.

Smart moves

This is a good sign! This is our first season trying to grow this crop. If you guessed that they're green onions, your're close but not quite there. See the image description for the answer.

Named after the great C function, I'm sure. I'm confident text searchability will be a key feature in that app.

nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4 I sent you a DM. Not sure if you got it. I saw fiatjaf say he can't get DMs on nostr, but I'm not sure if that's a him problem or a widespread issue.

Me too! Do you sell them? I didn't see an option to buy swag on the website, but I had a lot of fun with the VoteForBetter money contest and would be happy to hand them out to friends (and strangers!)

Is the author on nostr? I found the book's website but I want to buy a few copies for BTC and stash them in little free libraries.

I just might. Unfortunately, the collective the does bike repair and alterations in my town is forbidden from working on bikes with an electric motor, or that can even be outfitted with one. This is a restriction the insurance company put one them.

They could help with a trailer. It'd still be difficult to bring home 4x8' sheets on account of the wind profile or width required. If you've seen any designs for a bike trailer that might work for me, please send 'em my way.

And the compost weighs about 1-2 tones, depending on how wet it is and how much they actually give me in practice (sometimes it's like a yard and a half!).

Nice. Be careful with that high voltage DC power. It's harder to block out the sun than you think. Just cover the panels in a blanket and check the voltage to see how effective those blankets are.

As an American, I've been dependent on my car for everyday things all my life. From getting food to going to restaurants, to work... pretty much everything.

I'm reducing that dependence. I ride my #bicycle for a lot of errands, walk to the grocery store and work from home. To quantify this, I've only filled up my gas tank once this year. Two months and only $36 of gasoline purchased (and my tank is currently more than half full).

I feel this is good for a number of reasons.

1.) I am more #SelfReliant

2.) Save #money

3.) Less #pollution

4.) Getting in better shape

I can personally #repair most things that go wrong with my bike, and for a small amount of time and money at that. No long supply lines to depend on. No shipping in parts from Japan.

I still have my car for certain things. Picking up 4'x8' sheets of plywood, or a cubic yard of compost, for example, are things I'll still use the car to do for the foreseeable future.

There are also some in-person meetings that are currently out of my range, but they'll be easily doable if I were in better shape. #goals

Are other people trying to make these kinds of changes in their life? Have I inspired you? Do you have any tips on other things I can do, given the benefits I listed?

Is this beepy thing open source? I didn'tbsee an answer on their site and peeked at their github account, but they have 78 repos and I didn't feel like trying to scour through them all to figure it out.

The pi problems are mostly gone now. Not to say they won't crop up again in the future, but that's a risk of pretty much any small chip. rpilocator.com

The big problem with the pi is power consumption. It'd only last a few hours with a big battery pack

You know what they say... cheap, easy development, low power: choose any two.

Not open source, is it?

The MtGox collapse was 10 years ago. I remember that. At the time, I was only getting coins from people who mined them, so I didn't even know who Mt Gox was until they imploded. If only I held onto all those coins frm back then. Lol. Ah well. You win some you lose some.

Hailstorms bring out the worst in people

I'm glad to see two test suites made the cut.

And BitAxe and a mining pool also got money

Super cool that BitAxe is highlighting their documentation! It's always a joy when I don't spend as much time trying to figure out why I can't build some open source project.

I saw this and thought "$54k?" Isn't it like $51-52k? Didn't someone say something that caused me to check the exchange rate yesterday?"

Yes, but that was yesterday's value, which apparently is not what today's value is.

Lets talk hardware requirements.

- Screen

- Text input device (keyboard, ability to connect a keyboard, or virtual keyboard if we have a touchscreen)

- Connectivity (WiFi or LoRa if we wanted to get wipd with it)

- Replacable, rechargablebbattery

- Charging port, which is also replacable

If this are right, and I were to make one of these, I'd look for an existing hardware platform to rally around. Maybe recreate the HotNinja and publish the code & schematics? https://vtol.cc/filter/works/Hot-Ninja

Maybe try to recreate something like https://www.msglab.co/project/lo-ra-msg

I guess we coukd drop the input requirement and make it a read-only nostr client by hacking up a pager project like this: https://hackaday.com/2019/03/24/custom-lora-pager-designed-with-care/

There are so many projects out there, it seems like it'd be a shame to duplicate their effort instead of joining them to get a common platform that we could all build off of.

Is there some way to save a copy of this?
