Host a Plex server accessible to the whole family, even those living on the other side of the country (and yes I can stream

Be a part of game preservation community on a DC++ hub.

And so much other stuff !

Let's go nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze !

Yeah, right. Her lover was baron Hans Günther von Dincklage, who worked for Nazi intelligence services. She also leveraged Nazi laws during the occupation of France to steal from her Jewish business partners (with partners like her, you don't' need enemies...). But sure, she was friends with Churchill, even though she initially approached him while acting as a messenger for the Nazi intelligence service... (maybe look-up "Operation Modellhut")

Even more so, 360° is a circle !

This takes on a whole other meaning when you are aware that she was a Nazi sympathizer...

5w/year of paid leave is pretty sweet (and that's just the basic around here)

2 weeks per year ? 🤣🤣🤣

Just block the Nostr relays, that's pretty easy when you have the level of control China has on its networks.

Same here, I can't find myself on npub.world. Tried searching by nickname and by npub 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, maybe being able to buy a house with a single factory worker salary back then, when nowadays a household where both spouses have an income can't, is a factor in this situation?

I'm not "cheerleading the restriction of free speech". Please stop twisting my words to fit your narrative... I'm saying, if you engage willfully in disseminating harmful misinformation, you should be punished, in proportion to the harm caused of course. Let's revisit you stance on "free speech" when one of your kids get cyberbullied to the point of suicide.

If my government wanted to label "bitcoin talk" as misinformation, they would have to provide facts supporting their claim.

Of course I took the vaccine, I'm not a moron anti-vaxxer, but that's far from the point.

Also, if you think Nostr is 100% censorship resistant, maybe read up on how it actually works. Because, unless you're running your own relays (and even then), it is not (although a lot more resistant than X, that's for sure)

I don't see how using my fullname or not is relevant in this debate. You think Nostr is anonymous ? 🤣

I'm here for the Bitcoin talk. I'm also on X and Mastodon, I use pseudonyms on each of those, but I know full well, if a government wants to get my identity, they probably will be able to do so.

Also, for all the people bashing on Germany, you should check libel law in the US 😉

I think you overestimate most people's ability to detect falsehood... Just look all the people reposting lies that suit their beliefs, on all the social networks...

This is not about right or wrong, which depends on morals. You and I and everyone else may have different views on morality, and that is perfectly fine. This is about true and false, facts. And facts are verifiable.

I don't see the problem. If you spread lies/misinformation/insults with full knowledge of the facts, you are nuisance, and should pay the price 🤷‍♂️

Stupidest thing I've read today...

We already migrated to OpenNebula at my place of work. There were some bumps in the road, it took longer than planned (which project doesn't?) but ultimately it is done, and it was an opportunity to make some infrastructure changes that were needed anyway.

So, looking at raw numbers with 50,000 devices:

Your individual odds = 1 in 50,000

Waiting time = 75-80 days

So you're looking at:

• A 0.002% chance of mining a block

• Waiting ~2.5 months for that tiny chance

With 1 million devices:

Your individual odds = 1 in 1,000,000

Waiting time = 3-5 days

That's:

• A 0.0001% chance of mining a block

• Every 3-5 days, someone in that million gets lucky

• But it's probably not you

However, these statistics are oversimplified. Here's how Bitcoin mining actually works:

Your real chance of mining a block = (Your hashrate / Total network hashrate)

For perspective:

• With 1 TH/s of mining power, odds are roughly 1 in 249,694,649 per block

• A new block is mined every ~10 minutes

• But it's a continuous probability game, not a scheduled event

When more devices join the network:

1. The total network hashrate increases

2. Your individual device's hashrate stays the same

3. Therefore, your relative share (and odds) decrease

So when they say 'a device will mine a block every X days,' it's misleading—it's a network-wide statistic, like saying 'someone will win the lottery every drawing.' It doesn't improve your individual device's chances; more competition actually makes your odds worse.

This is why solo mining has largely been replaced by industrial mining operations—the odds for individual miners have become increasingly unfavorable as the network has grown.

I don't gamble, and I don't play the lottery. These devices are fun and educational, but they are expensive lottery tickets with worse odds.

With a Bitaxe, solo-mining is not the only option. OCEAN.xyz released the DATUM protocol so anyone can use their own block template, participating in the decentralization of mining, but still be in a pool and share the reward when a block is mined by the pool.

They are supposed to have lightning payouts but those don't work at the moment.
