Why, did YT put the 0.5X button behind a paywall? 🤣 No matter how bad things get, Ben will always be able to find work as an auctioneer or the side-effects reader in a pharma ad 🤣 View quoted note →

Avalon mini 3 has a mining mode that uses full power and fan speed, and a heat mode that uses less power but because it runs at a slower fan speed, the unit itself gets significantly hotter and doesn't circulate air well in the room. Not sure if I should run it in mining mode (ignoring the 80% rule) or heater mode with a desk fan blowing on it to help move heat. Also tried to update the firmware and it just kept throwing E-01 error.

There's a lot I still don't understand about Meshtastic and MeshCore but I assume there's a good reason that mesh-related discussion needs to take place on a centralized social media platform as opposed to just using the mesh?

What the heck is DLR talking about? I've looked all over this Christmas stocking and don't see a line running up the back. Is he talking about the stitching? 🤣

Can't pay for Primal or Fountain premium subs with a Lightning wallet? Do y'all accept Steak &Shake gift cards? 🤣

Don't let the 'experts' pressure you into leaning too far over your skis because they'll clam up tighter than turtle pussy the moment you get in trouble and need their expertise.

I'm literally in awe sometimes at how self-sovereign some folks are (assuming they're not just larping or trying to sell you something). It's like, you mean your cars never break down, kids and pets don't get sick, appliances don't die? If someone's got the freedom to suddenly put everything on hold every time their Lightning Node or Nostr client craps the bed, they don't need Bitcoin to hit $1M. They've already won at life.

Trying to figure out what the heck kind of connector is on this Meshtastic when I find this gem: "Wi-Fi equipment manufacturers have widely used RP-SMA connectors to comply with specific national regulations, such as those from the FCC, which are designed to prevent consumers from connecting antennas that provide additional gain and therefore breach Part 15 compliance. However, by 2000, the FCC regarded the connectors as readily available, though delaying its ruling indefinitely. As of 2018, leading manufacturers such as Netgear and Linksys are still using RP-SMA connectors on their Wi-Fi equipment." The radio industry definitely doesn't have enough antenna connector types. We should try to double it to say, 300 million 🤡 View quoted note →
