OK, I want to fix my NWC with coinos. I see home, receive, history, send and the hamburger menu... none of which appear to have NWC. Am I missing something here? How can I connect this to Nostr again?

Bitcoin Treasuries: Inflation Hedge or Hype-Driven Bubble?

On this episode of Merryn Talks Money, we explore why companies are adding crypto to their balance sheets and what it means for investors.

Seeing a 61 year old person just start hand jamming G-code to control a mill in the other room is dope AF. There's one camera attached and a stationary one overhead. All custom written code, from the controls to scripts that use ffmpeg to stream the camera video.

A buddy of mine found a compact disc of clipart from 1995. It had a lot of interesting and strange stuff on there. And they were .eps files (vector graphics) so you could zoom in 32000% and not just be looking at a single pixel. In some ways it's better tech than people use today, and artists got paid for their work (at least, in theory). Fun dive 30 years into the past. 😄

Time to sign off all social media for a while and get shit done. Wish me luck

Put up a #meshtastic node on a wooden lightpole today at a local brewery. 6 dbi gain antenna, RAK Wireless board, huge battery pack and a solar panel to keep it charged. The coverage in the area is *much* improved. Probably got up about 30 feet. Could have easily gone double that if we had a boom lift or bucket truck. But we did the best we could with the extension ladder for now. If we ever get access to better lifts, we can move it up.

I just made a second cutting board by hand. And when I say by hand, I mean using a standard a hand saw to cut the log. It takes literally hours of sawing, and I can't handle more than like 15 minutes at a time. Why am I doing this? My bandsaw only goes up 6" and I just really wanted to make some cutting boards from the tree that grew on our property. I did but a 3 tpi saw, but the blade twists and I don't get a straight cut. The normal 12 tpi saw is wide so it naturally goes straight. I could use the electric chainsaw, but I'd rather have the nice staight cut with a parallel plane to the face. If I was trying to make a living out of this, it'd make sense to hone that skill (or make a jig), but I'm taking the simple, old-fashion approach: hand saw.

Remember that time that American inteligence services were like "Saddam totally has nukes" and then after going to war we found out that he didn't? Remember that time the US was bogged down in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for 20 years, when the mastermind of 9/11 attacks wasn't even in either of those countries? Does any of this sound familiar? It wasn't even that long ago.

Congratulations Americans, you hit $37T (and counting)

Hackathons are fiat. Sorry, not sorry. They are, by design, a toy project that was thrown together as quickly as possible and then abandoned. Virtually no thought to design, little understanding of the actual problem space, and zero maintainability. They are peak Silicon Valley mentality. Maximum hype and minimum effort. Contrast this to a project which was born out of necessity, by someone who is very passionate about the topic, who plans on using this project forever, and has a focus on quality instead of cranking out new features just to get attention. That's not to say hackathons don't have any value. They help people get over insecurities about whatever they do not being good enough, show team how to slap something together in an emergency that will hold you over for a few hours while someone properly solves the problem, and a few other things. But as for the technology they produce... no thank you.
