Kabukicho. Close to neat stuff like Korea Town and golden gai, and ofc easy access to the train.  

 Do people actually believe that being rich is gonna get them a girlfriend? lmao, maybe try working on your personality instead of your bottom line

 You can make an account and pay in on-chain bitcoin, or you can pay via lightning at https://vpn.sovereign.engineering/ 

 Ahh, the trout slaps.. 

 This is my favorite political meme today.

 Crabs throw some pretty sick raves  

 That's because mentally healthy people move on. What's the reason for talking about the pandemic anymore unless you think it was fake and have an axe to grind?  

 We dont need to recreate the leader/follower dynamic of Twitter to be successful. Reddit and even Facebook worked great as just a way to discuss topics or keep up with friends. Twitter is a weird-ass anomaly. Even the term "follower" has weird culty undertones to it.  

 We're still in an emergency? Aight, bud.  

 I ran a very high bandwidth one, but my ISP got mad at me for using too much data 😔 

 I *have* to log into reddit now any time I land on their site. Completely defeats the purpose.  

 IMO, it's irresponsible to convince non tech savvy people into running a lightning node. If you don't know how to manage and back up a Linux server, you're seriously playing with fire putting money on one.

Just use a damn mobile wallet or something.  

 Nah, losing your money on a mismanaged node is a far higher risk than using a custodial wallet, depending on how sophisticated the user is.

It's been a while since I've set up my node, though. Maybe the newer software is a lot easier/safer.  

 At this point, I just Uncle Jim my friends. I have a fairly decent routing node set up and just have them connect to my lndhub instance with Zeus. Ezpz, they don't even need to worry about liquidity  

 Curious to hear if you see any noticeable performance gainz. I never really noticed the difference between SATA and NVMe, myself. But to me, anything faster than spinning rust is basically "good enough" 😅  

 My NAS is a little bit old, so no nvme for me. I just shoved an ancient SATA SSD in there a couple months back as a cache for all my spinning disks 😁.

Hoping the price of spinning NAS drives drop soon. I'm running out of space 😨  

 I've been trying to decide whether I want to go the second-hand route. It's *probably* fine, since the whole point of a multi-bay NAS is redundancy, but it still feels wrong  

 I can. They've perfected shutting down actually good candidates ever since they did Bernie dirty.  

 This will happen when red team keeps giving us a lunatic, and blue team kneecaps any reasonable candidate that talks about anything that matters!  

 Yea he got way too defensive any time Pete asked him perfectly reasonable questions. 

 Counter-culture, baby! 

 People *hold* Monero? I thought it was only useful for purchases. 

 I always wondered why the D and R wings switch every so often. I'm seeing it happen before my eyes.. Actual progressives get kneecapped by the DNC so they go to the other side 🤔  

 Weirdly enough, the beefy 5-layer is my measurement stick for inflation. When I was a poor college student in the early 2010s, a couple 89 cent burritos for lunch kept me going! Funny to see someone else point out the same thing I have been. 😂  

 These were still under a dollar all the way up to 2009 or so! Things have changed *fast* 

 Oh man. Sometimes I wonder if the geometric squiggles were a mass hallucination, but occasionally I'll see proof it exists and be reminded it was, in fact, real.

Just like phone booths.  

 Some people are freedom maximalists and/or libertarians, up until it bumps up against their weird sense of morality.

Legalize all drugs, and let people view whatever imagery they want, I say.  

 I think it's the opposite! Cheerful and positive people have more drive to pump out code. Depressed people can't get started.  

 👏  STAY 👏 HUMBLE 👏  STACK 👏  SATS 

 I run TinyTinyRSS on my server at home, and use the app on mobile. My favorite feature is how it automatically marks articles as "read" when you scroll past them. Saves a ton of time.  

 Most news sites worth a shit have an RSS feed. I exclusively use Reddit through RSS. No algo, no ads, just new posts that I can quickly scroll through.  

 Amazing presentation. I had no idea methane mitigation had come so far in such a short period of time!  

 There are leftists?? Point me to them so I can follow them. Feels more like everyone is a libertarian  

 Let's be real, this guy moneros 

 Considering every company out there saw Black Mirror as something to strive for as opposed to a warning..  

 There are card organizers with a tiny dry-erase window next to each slot you can write in  

 I wonder if they sell NFC tags small enough to fit on a micro SD card? 

 Looks like NTAG213 are the smallest you can get. Too big to fit on the SD, but could probably fit on whatever organizer you've got. 

 Beanie babies  

 Guilty! 

 Joinmarket/JAM 

 Have you watched the Making Of for this show? The whole team wasn't sure it would catch on. The idea of replacing Bruce with a young batman seemed really scary at the time  

 I think this show was too deep for me as a kid. I bounced right off it, but I ate up Batman Beyond.  

 Doesn't mean it's not useful. I have huge reservations about it privacy-wise, but it's a good tool. 

 Took the words right out of my mouth. 

 low-key brilliant 

 I've met a guy that works for Ripple, and he honestly believes they aren't a security. I really don't understand the mental hoops people go through..  

 I always laugh at the so-called "sovereign" LARPers that love oil/gasoline. You need *so* much infrastructure for that shit to even exist. True sovereignty is tossing some solar panels and batteries on your home. At least those will last a while.  

 Makes perfect sense. Replace "government" with  "technology" and I'm the same way. 😂  

 Why are the options a competent asshole and an incompetent people pleaser? I obviously wouldn't hire either.  

 I can't, but it's not for the reason you think.. I sold my car during covid and don't even think about fuel anymore 😅. Ci can't even ballpark the price for you at this point.  

 I have one of these and it's my favorite appliance! I only wish it had a little esp32 in it so I could use home assistant to set the temperature in the morning.  

 Time to hang up the hat and stop working on stuff 😂
