 Hey hey heyyyy!
Good morning! ☀️😃 ☕️ 
 I still can't believe this game is free. Github

 No speed today, Just added BitCoin mining to it :D  
 Correlation does not equal causation but damn; reducing my time on Twitter(X) to < 10% the former peak of mine (2022) and my dreams are happening. Absolutely melting though goals lately.

If I had to look back, Twitter(X) is for networking not achieving goals. The people are the value as is in life but at the end of the day Twitter(X) doesn't get you Proof of Work.

As is everything moderation is key.

/rant 
 Yeah, it's the overall time spent that matters. Goals won't complete themselves.

My latest embedded project just got a mini operating system that can be interacted with over a built in USB serial endpoint! Next is the BitCoin mining program. Just for fun.

This project means so much to me because of the number of years it took me to get to this level, 8 years ago the idea came to me. 4 years ago I tried and failed. Move to 2023 and i've put in a month and some and am well on the road to completion. 
 Pretty sure that would be the Portland.HODL kernel, I have wrote all of this from scratch for an STM32 MCU.

Glad you enjoyed the space! 
 Does Bitcoin have a booty hole 🤣🤔 
 Yeah btcd nodes. 
 PCBs just came in the mail!

context: This is an FPGA base keyboard designed by me for ultra low latency and programmability.

#Bitcoin only.

 Soldered up; and no a keyboard doesn't need an STM32F7.

Took awhile since nearly all passive components are 0402.

 FPGA based keyboard where each key is wired individually. As such removes the need to scan a matrix and reduces latency substantially. Debounce timers all run in parallel on the FPGA too.


Each key can be re-mapped to anything as well.


As a bonus it also does sha256 hashing :p just in case

 It's more for programmability, but realized after latency measurements it's sub 1ms which might be useful for some people. 
 Home cooked > Restaurant. 

Also costs less as well. Looking for advice to improve.

 TY, I am working my way up to thicker cuts. The thick cuts I have cooked have all came out rather undercooked in middle, or if I try to cook it longer the outside turns to carbon.

My setup.
1. Electric stovetop
2. Cast iron
3. Olive oil in the pan
4. Salt and pepper seasoning


Note: By undercooked I mean blue.  
 Some RAID5 action! Nice work. 

Nextcloud is pretty kick ass. You could also just do SFTP if you wanted to avoid extra software packages. 
 I noticed snort is much faster on m2 Mac 🤔 
 Snort is pretty rough on my Ryzen 1700 
 So that if their database is breached you don't become a target with name, address, payment method etc.

Assuming you can trust them... which I do.

Ledger is a good example of how not to handle customer records and the fallout that can occur when they are breached. Coins were lost in various types of phishing attacks. 
 Got it too.
Dumb question. Isn’t it almost impossible to calculate the input through a hash bec... 
 Correct, but... you can make guesses using context and clues.

Brute force is also an option. 
 GM ☀️☕️ Post Notes. Stack Sats. Seek 🌮🌮🌮🌮 
 GM. Build great things! 
 Anyone got a good summary of BitVM for us technically challenged folks? 
 You can put on chain the expected pr possible results of VM, then off chain the participants can use it.

If anyone cheats its easy to verify.

A VM is like a program. It can do anything you want. 
 Talk to your normies from time to time. It's easy to get lost in the rabbit hole that is bitcoin,... 
 Did you catch the game last night? 
 I was making a joke about how it feels to talk to normies. It's like everything goes into slow mode. 
 GM ☕️✌️ 
 GM - Let's build great things. 
 https://github.com/russeree/docker-lnurl-commando

Small little project I worked on this weekend based on @jb55 lnurl-commando to quicly and easily enable zaps and lnurl on top of Core Lightning using a single .env and a docker container.

If you are using CLN and want zaps! Give this a shot. 
 FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

 good morning nostr, making a deliberate decision to go to less conferences - small high signal ev... 
 Agreed, TABConf would be the only conference I would consider again purely for the aspect of development. From now on I am going to be spending a lot more time curating our local BitDevs instead. 
 Here's a question for someone smarter than me:
I have a channel with ACINQ. Why did I pay a fee w... 
 Can you connect to any other tor nodes? It seems like it can't convert the TOR name into a destination.

This is usually seen when the settings are incorrect for TOR. 
 A mechanic your BitCoins purchasing power increases as the game progresses.  
 Use the lightning network to pay for properties. 
 Where* 
 What are your favorite hardware wallets, among the latest generation of them?

And are there any ... 
 No private keys were extracted from the Coldcard.

 Seems more like trigger happy retail on ETF news. Which was denied by blackrock.

Funny thing though in the end it doesn't actually matter.
