Apparently you can only rent Hummingbird in USD and only pay-per-second with lightning. Heaven forbid anyone want to rent it using lightning, or (gasp) actually buy a copy so they can watch it offline. I like the idea of IndeeHub, but I'm unimpressed by the implementation.

Pythagorean's theorem is, without a doubt, one of the most useful math fomulas I've ever learned.

TEEs are not as secure as most people think they are. That said, executing in a TEE is better than not. So yeah, use 'em if you can; just don't treat them like they are infallible.

I am going to try using Zeus to pay at Steak 'n' Shake next week instead of using my usual wallet. Either way it'll route through my home node, but it'll be fun to put Zeus to the test. It should work fine, but previous versions have left me stranded, so I have cause for concern. View quoted note →

I don't understand why seemingly well informed people would advocate for burning coal to produce electricity. Even if we ignore the emissions and pollution, there's the glaring problem of cost. Electricity from coal is expensive. Maybe it's short term thinking? Maybe they place a huge value on flexible sources of power instead of having a flexible load? Maybe they're just trying to get more attention than if they promoted doubling down on the least expensive sources of electricity? Of course, these same people also seem to promote nuclear, which is basically the most expensive option possible, so maybe it's the latter explanation. At least natural gas comes close to the cost of geothermal, wind and solar. I get why people would advocate for that. And I get that hydroelectric isn't an option in some locations (although, if it is, it wins on price, emissions, pollution, and reliability).

This is the fruits of our labor tonight. Beautiful.

Just got a 1W #Meshtastic node up and running. This is going to be fun.

I re-posted this on ActivityPub. I think more people over there need to hear this message and might be receptive to it. It I had accounts on centralized social media, I'd cross post it there too. View quoted note →
