Nothing like getting smashed on Chianti and Bubblelicious Haze listening to Tool on a Sunday night

I would like to start solo mining BTC, does anybody have any good suggestion as for energy friendly rigs?

Has anybody else noticed this sort of psychological trick that when you open Twitter nowadays, it feels like stepping in a parallel horror dimension?

What a day. USDC regaining the peg, SVB seemingly having some resolution chances, me having more satoshis in cold storage than ever and my mother and my brother both finally with WoS installed (they were orange pilled long ago). Life is amazingly complicate and unpredictable sometimes, and I love it this way!

By the way, USDC is still backed at almost 2:1 ratio in reserves even not considering the assets in SVB. Those who dumped at 0.88 cents won’t be eating much next week. Just read of a wallet who nuked 2000000 USDCs for 0.05 USDT because in the panicky rush didn’t properly set slippage on Uniswap.

If now you struggle with contemplating how much power a few powerful institutions hold in their hands, wait to see in 50 years when Bitcoin whales will be the richest mfs of the milky way

USDC is not algorithmic, it will repeg as soon as banks reopen on Monday. This is indeed a good arbitrage opportunity for those interested. If you do hold some, take deep breaths and count to 10. P.S. There is no reason, even for btc maxis, to hope for any top 20 crypto by market cap to fail overnight.

If they thought logic in school instead of gender critical theory and other bs, there wouldn’t be one single conspiracy theory, not even the concept thereof image

Have been getting lots of signals about a major financial contagion starting right in this moment. $SIVB is crashing rn, domino effect to follow? If you have traditional assets: sell everything. If you are DCAing Bitcoin: wait after the weekend, discount prices might be in

Third month as data engineer by a pharma company. Meeting with IT network admins to solve connectivity issues between departments/machines. Me: “ok gentleman, I have prepared some slides to show you our issues with the current corporate internal network. Server x is in position y and is behind a firewall. We need to access that server to perform blablabla… I have made a basic HTTP server in python to blablabla. We can try this and this but then we need to designate a TCP port that is open in the firewall… blablabla”. IT representative listens with vague smile and waits that I finish to add: “good that you joined our group! Let me show you something… [opens paint] this is a computer… an SQL server is an application that runs on a machine. An IP is an “address” we give to computers to find them back and… by the way… we don’t use custom solutions here because nobody else knows how to use python, what if you then leave?!” …I am so fucked 😂😂😂

Why is that you can only zap fixed amounts to npubs on Damus with WoS? Does anybody know if that is a configurable setting somewhere?
