Before the steamdeck came out, I've been actually thinking about buying an android handheld console. The fact that the most android games were pay2win convinced me to wait for something better.
However, getting an android app support, that's reliably set up, by someone else than me, and basically for free would still be nice!
Government is better at X... because it can steal stuff. Yay for the government, I guess... :D
I've been into decentralized networks from a young age. I've already been running a tor node around 2009/2010. First time I've stumbled onto bitcoin was on the "banking" section of the hidden wiki, and of course I've dismissed it as just another scam.
Then around a year later somebody published a relatively detailed blogpost about the inner workings of bitcoin on a local linux enthusiast news site, and it all just clicked. I was instantly hooked.
Of course security comes with layers, and if you're not comfortable hosting services publically, use a VPN.
However, 3 simple rules go a long way:
-
Treat any machine or service on a local network as if they were publically accesible. That will prevent you from accidentally leaving the auth off, or leaving the weak/default passwords in place.
-
Install services in a way that they are easy to patch. For example, prefer phpmyadmin from debian repo instead of just copy pasting the latest official release in the www folder. If you absolutely need the latest release, try a container maintained by a reasonable adult. (No offense to the handful of kids I've known providing a solid code, knowledge and bugreports for the general public!)
-
Use unattended-upgrades, or an alternative auto update mechanism on rhel based distros, if you don't want to become a fulltime sysadmin. The increased security is absolutely worth the very occasional breakage.

You and your hardware are your worst enemies. There are tons of giudes on what a proper backup should look like, but don't let that discourage you. Some backup is always better than NO backup. Even if it's just a copy of critical files on an external usb drive. You can always go crazy later, and use snapshotting abilities of your filesystem (btrfs, zfs), build a separate backupserver, move it to a different physical location... sky really is the limit here.
Being mainstream is exactly what I liked about reddit. It was the reincarnation of usenet. It has attracted all kinds of people doing all kinds of thing. Are you interested in swastika knitting? Piano jumping? Bathsponge sculpting? You can sure as hell find at least 2 other guys already doing it there.
When we take decisions without knowing, ignorant decisions, we not only hurt ourselves, but those close to us. It's simple statistics.
I wouldn't betray a love of my family or friends by willingly endangering them for my religious believes. See, the love argument goes both ways. :P
Even if we accept that religion is not fundamentally based in "untrue", it certainly glorifies the blind faith. At least the christianity does.
One of the verses that made me doubt the whole thing was john 20:29:
Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
I've been listening to that verse sunday after sunday after sunday... and it felt more wrong every week.
common religious form is not specially intolerant
There are several aspects in which religion can harm the society.
The most pressing issue, currently, is that the moderate believers, who are in it mainly for the traditions and cultural identity tend to support the fundamentalists seeking power, because at the end of the day, they do believe in the same set of rules and laws. The moderates are just not making a big deal out of breaking them.
The other, rarely discussed topic, is the normalization of disinformation. Every new generation is being indoctrinated to believe fantastical statements, by the power of authority, yet when they grow up and replicate the behavior in form of alternative medicine, political propaganda, tendency to believe in fictitious conspiracies, we're surprised. Because every religion shares the one fundamental property. It's based on a believe in what is not true.

If you come from IT, you never really quit. A little parser bug here, a small race condition there, or a fucking baking oven refusing to bake until you tell it what time it is. No hope, no escape.

It's not only cheaper, but also more powerful.
consumer space heater
Love the idea, but I somehow doubt it will happen.
In the past, the useful lifetime of the asics themselves was the main problem. Each generation made using smaller and smaller manufacturing process. Now that we're pushing the limits of what's even possible with EUV, the chips might last longer. However, the supporting infrastructure is still not fit to be operated by just anybody.
Making the whole system consumer friendly and reliable increases the cost, which puts any user in disadvantage compared to an industrial operation.
The economy of scale would normally take care of that, but mass adoption of mining heaters would probably make the difficulty shoot through the roof, negating any possible saving on heating, at least compared to other alternatives like heat pumps.
edit:
say I didn’t want 700 watts, I only wanted 400

Braiins Mini Miner - BMM 100
THIS IS A PRE-ORDER WITH EXPECTED DELIVERY IN SEPTEMBER 2024. Mine bitcoin at home now with the first-ever European mining hardware built with love in Prague. Whether you want to join a mining pool or try your luck at mining an entire bitcoin block solo, the choice is yours. The Braiins Mini Miner i...
Ever since the interview with Lukas Seyfrid (CZ), the chief of the hardware team, it was clear that Braiins is pivoting from the development of mining software, to building their own hardware.
This, I believe, is the first iteration of their effort in form of a consumer product, and while it is unlikely to make you a financial return on the investment, it's small form factor and nice anodized aluminum case can allow pretty much anyone to become familiar with the process of bitcoin mining. Or terrorize the testnet. The choice is yours.
I think I might buy one, just to try the viability of a pure solar setup.
HW specifications:
||| | ------------- | ------------- | | Price (pre-order) | $199.00 | | Hashrate | ~1Th/s | | Power Consumption | 40W - 55W | | Number of hashboards | 1 | | Number of ASIC chips | 4 | | Cooling Type | Active | | Noise | 40 dB | | Air outlet temperature | 40-50 °C |
But really, how much would it make in a year?
If we assume the current price and difficulty stays the same, the block subsidy is 3.125 BTC, median fees around 0.2212 BTC, free electricity, you'd get 0.001 BTC per 12 months, which is roughly 65 USD. A little more than 3 years to break even.
It's not going to break any records, but I'm still excited for what's to come next.

Prosecutors are alleging Samourai Wallet laundered over $100 million in criminal proceeds.
"Prosecutors are alleging Samourai Wallet laundered over $100 million in criminal proceeds."
Phoenix Wallet and Wasabi Wallet will cease services for U.S. customers due to concerns about increased regulatory crackdowns in the country.
"Recent regulatory action against Consensys and Samourai has instilled fear among other crypto service providers operating in the United States."
- Wasabi is the main competitor to Samourai's whirpool mixing service. The only one flying under the radar currently is Joinmarket.
- Phoenix is the Lightning network wallet where users keep custody of their funds, but the channel management is outsourced to the company. The only remaining self custodial lightning wallet that remains is Breez.
While this news is deeply troubling, it might push further development to more sustainable trustless self-custodial solutions in the long term.

Who Are the Samaritans?
The Solomon's temple in Jerusalem was a mistake... according to samaritan israelites, who follows 5 books of the old testament, and pray on Mt. Gerizim, 48km north of Jerusalem. THE place to worship God.
Most of the european christians probably know the term only from the story about the good samaritan. Today I've learned not only they are still a thing, practicing their barebones version of judaism, but in addition to israel and the west bank, some of them even live and practice their religion in brazil.
Zoroastrianism Explained
The so called new religious movements are a guilty pleasure of mine. Some of their followers often claim to be inspired specifically by Zoroastrianism.
But what is zoroastrianism? Apparently, it all started ~3000 years ago in the area currently known as iran, by the guy called Zarathustra. And although the number of active practitioners is rapidly declining, the ideas behind it affect us all to this day, as the christianity and islam seem to be highly inspired by the ideas behind zoroastrianism.
"A proper fix probably requires more fundamental changes."

Trezor Safe 3
There's a new Trezor HW wallet available. It's a long awaited refresh of the original Trezor One. Two buttons, one screen, USB-C, and a new chip that makes it tick. Now with 100% more secure element!
They also offer a new cold storage solution - https://trezor.io/trezor-keep-metal . The form factor is similar to cryptosteel, but the mechanism of entering the seed phrase is different. You punch a bunch of holes in the metal plates. Depending on what material is used, I'd say it's much more fool proof compared to cryptosteel. If an unsuspecting nocoiner opens it, there is no risk of them just spilling all the letters out and financially ruining the whole family in the process.
Is there any consumer grade nvme ssd that works flawlessly on linux?
I've tried Apacer AS2280Q4 2TB and ADATA SWORDFISH 500 GB. Both report
nvme nvme0: globally duplicate IDs for nsid 1
since Linux 5.19, if I attach more than one.
Only the first drive is seen by the system. Workaround so far has been to stay on 5.15, but that's not a viable long-term solution.
This error has been known for quite some time, and has been fixed downstream for specific distros and ssd models. Is there any chance the manufacturers will start to assign unique ID's to each drive, or mainline implements usable a universal workaround?
Managed to get SOMETHING out of NOAA 19, using dipole
Everyone knows helix antenna is needed for capturing NOAA satellite images, due to circular polarization of the signal, right?
As I was listening to ISS APRS repeater (with great success!), I noticed NOAA 19 would pass over me shortly. Since the dipole was already set up outside, I decided to give it a go.
Software used:
- GQRX to capture the audio
- Gpredict to know when to start the recording, and to compensate for the doppler shift
- noaa-apt to convert the audio file to an image
Hardware used:
- RTL-SDR.com branded USB dongle
- 3 lousy USB extension cords
- "Bunny ear" retractable dipole antenna that I got in a bundle with one of the SDRs
Now, there is not much to see in the image, but I sure as hell can spot some clouds there, and that's much more than I actually expected!
Can I use the same domain name for Lemmy and Mastodon?
I'd like to self-host Lemmy or kbin and mastodon. I know I could use different subdomain for each, but I'd much rather keep it short. Something tells me, however, that other instances might not be happy about it.
Is it doable?
