I a big fan of @nprofile…4f6s and Canaan.io nano3.
I bought one Monday from CC and received it and set it up within 2 days. The TAT and shipping was so fast.
The miner is so quiet.
I had to buy another one. And a washer jig, and a bitcoin only sign, and golf tees, and slate coasters laser etched with the white paper.
This is one late night internet purchase I doubt I will regret.

Absolutely own as many weapons as makes sense and be as proficient with them as possible. You also want to have at least one *advanced tech* weapon and one *alternative strategy weapon*
You probably won’t own an F16, but Vietnam farmers with hunting rifles have taken down planes before.
Owning a Javelin is outside the normal realm of doable, but owning a .50 cal with anti-aircraft rounds is much more affordable.
Or something like the Anarchist Cookbook 1 & 2. Sometimes a bit of thermite or napalm work better than an F16 or a nuke.
Then there’s paracetic acid, chloramine and all the chemical gases.
Chemical batteries and exothermic reactions.
Humans are creative and that creativity should be focused on building, but can always be used for defense or offense.

They sold out to one of those stock market companies around 2020 that switches all the half and half to powdered milk, all the coffee beans to floor dust, the water for the coffee is mop water now. It’s not about purposely destroying the brand, they just want to be able to put zero money into their products or people and milk it for quarterly rewards.

No.
No ser.

You need your bitcoiner “GFY” moment.
You could tell your customers to GFY but that’s a bad idea.
You could tell nostr to GFY, again a bad idea.
You could start eating steak, doing push ups, bitcoin only, post your updates, live on nostr, use the mute and block, cultivate your feed and the public’s access to you. Anyone that doesn’t praise you gets a “GFY”. Getting sued in America? Move to El Salvador and keep building.

Knipex cobras are nice.

Kobalt makes a socket set that has a ratchet handle with 3/8” drive on one side and 1/4” drive stacked on top of the 1/2” drive on the other side. All three drives in one handle. Brilliant.

@nprofile…k295 is amazing. I think they do 2-day shipping somehow. The Canaan miner is so quiet I forget it’s there. Puts out a nice little bit of heat, nothing crazy. The set up required guessing a bit with factory username and password but it set up relatively easily. Just hashing away on medium at about 5.15Th/s

I’ve fixed my own truck and cut my own hair for years to buy more bitcoin.
One strategy I love is to get a quote from a dealership on how much a repair will be for parts and labor. Then I use that number as my own parts and labor fund. I buy whatever tools I need to make the job easier, learn how to do it and do it myself. Then whatever is left over from what the dealer would have charged me minus the cost of the tools I bought is how much bitcoin I earned for doing the job. The more efficient I am with the repairs the more sats I can stack.
Bitcoin changes the way you think.
Yes I know I’m preaching to the choir but it’s all I got.

Can AI be taught a mix of First Principles, Lean Thinking, What’s-the-real-problem, and Bidirectional Scalar Derivatives?
First principles: what do we care about? What is the goal? What can be excluded? What can’t be excluded?
Lean thinking: how can this be iterated in a way that improves it rather than slowly losing the point of it? How many ideas should be considered on average before a suitable one is found? If a suitable idea is found on average after 50 iterations, that should be the first standard deviation and the goal should be to surpass the third standard deviation. How do we determine what is suitable?
What’s-the-real-problem: sometimes the human asks for something and doesn’t realize he wants something else and asked for the wrong thing. What indications are there that the original query is not the actual query?
Bidirectional scalar derivatives: I literally made this phrase up just now to mean that one should both zoom out to see how the problem fits in the macrocosmic sense and also zoom in and see what it looks like while excluding all other data.
Maybe we don’t need a thousand iterations in AI to make a good product but something along the lines of follow-packs but question-lists to pre-load AI with before prompting.

2026-03-21 13:31:34 UTC

Why is it so hard to start a digital ocean droplet, install nostr-relay, install Tailscale, configure config.toml (to god knows what to work with Tailscale) (set network address to 127.0.0.1? Or to the Tailscale up address? Or the Tailscale subdomain? So many guides that offer so many ways to set it up and none of them explain why they are configured the way they are or how to alter it to fit your needs. It’s easy to do it all but it’s impossible to get the little red dot in the relay list to turn green.
TL;DR: I’m too stupid to magically type non-sensical characters in seemingly random orders to make computers do what I want.
