This is interesting. In Amethyst I see what I assume is my Tor exit IP. I'm definitely not in Luxembourg. Using nostrudel.ninja on the PC, I only see the letters. No IP at all. Also of note, I am NOT loading images by default in Amethyst and this shows up anyway.

nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z Is this something that could be shown to a user during sign-up to let them know they need to take precautions? Maybe it would wake them up to the fact that they're visible.

Yeah that's funny how I never get phishing emails from Coinkite...

I was fighting high temps on my #Bitaxe Ultras (1366 ASIC), so I used some thermal paste from Noctua (the fan people) and the temp dropped by 10+ degrees C. I was previously underclocking to get it to 63C. Now I'm running defaults and getting 51C. That's measured by the temp sensor on the board behind the 1366. There was plenty of paste on there that looked clean and well-applied, but it just didn't perform as well as the Noctua stuff.

Now, interestingly, the thermal camera shows me some things I didn't consider.

First, the power bricks are hot AF. It's probably worth getting something more efficient rather than the cheapest 5V supply mankind can produce.

Then I notice that Q1 and Q2 MOSFETs are also hot AF. They're heating themselves, the board, and everything around them. The printed standing case for the Bitaxe doesn't allow for any airflow back here, so I may adjust that. Maybe it doesn't matter, maybe it does. Right now they're the hottest thing on the board.

I also have on hand 3 boards from d-central.tech to compare.

The first has spade connectors on the board and came with a power supply putting out a hair over 5V. This one seems to run the coolest overall. The temp sensor on this board version is nowhere near the ASIC, so it says something like 32C all the time. If you have this board, don't be fooled and don't use automatic fan control.

The third photo shows some heating around the DC plug. I'm assuming this is from a sub-optimal connection dealing with 2.4-ish amps running through it all the time. I'll probably replace that connector with something better or wire directly to the board. This board and its twin both have 5V supplies delivering more like 4.8V at the connector, and they run hotter in general. Hash rate between the 3 boards is close enough that I can't tell the difference.

Now, none of that is probably earth-shattering news, but it gave me something to do while I drink my #coffee.

Android and all of the above.

Yeah it's great. You can pour in the coffee, then water, let it bloom, then press. All with no spills. It's like the inverted method with less chance of a nightmare spill. It basically doubles the cost of the Aeeopress, and it's worth every penny.

It's funny how people, moving with purpose, can tell what's real and what's bullshit.

Yubikey would be perfect if the apps could use it.

I mean all the people using the extension to sign notes. If that stops working people will be back to putting their nsec in every hole in town.

I can only hope people pulled back the balances after WOS leaving the app store and Alby going invite-only.

I am not inclined to disagree.

We need signing devices in case the extension shits the bed. Way too many eggs in one basket.

Don't send sats if you need to get them out right away.

Just seeing this, but you haven't lost anything if you're not specifically using the server provided by nostr:npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6. SimpleX default servers are fine.

Can't wait to hear what the CEO has planned.

Okay, so this is not some complex hacker thing. VPN or Tor solves it easily.

I would've hoped you'd be getting nothing but exit nodes in 2024, but alas...

Proton blocks all that, I believe. It looks like it does, anyway. I get a lot of emails that are literally blank boxes because companies use some third party for mass emails.

nostr:npub1wq6n8skpdtrhw8hmr00kp2za7a8y97zqngq8jq85q2aydp8ejxzq8p7d9k Help me understand this. You get the IP because someone loads an image you're hosting? Or are you somehow getting the IP when someone loads an image hosted elsewhere?

Also, my understanding is that the images are loading automatically in the client, so however you get the IP, you get it on a silver platter just by the user browsing their feed.

Please do me as well so I can see what this looks like.
