Ok I’m pretty sure bull run is back in Austin, minus the normies this time around. More on this theory Friday on SNL.

huge db migrations suck nards

What's the total size?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 1h

On the order of the number of payments to, through, and from SN, custodial and not. Probably 10s of millions of rows migrated roughly.

The hardest part is we're going from low detail to high detail and that we need to not destroy information in process despite some of the data being mostly historical at this point. e.g. referrals used to earn you a portion of a stacker's zaps, so every time they were zapped we gave you money. or, at one point 50% of a sybil fee went to rewards and the other 50% went to the territory founder. I'm having to find analogous representations of these things in the new schema or add defunct stuff to it.

Ah, I can see how that'd be annoying

Hey @ek my failure rate for zaps has been abnormally high

What do you think is causing this? Should I reset my NWC? The arrow for sending stays red for some odd reason.

Reseting won't hurt.

If you want to know what went wrong, Alby Hub's logs might also have useful info. If your channels are Tor channels, sometimes that'll cause intermittent issues which tend to clear up after awhile.

If these zaps are to one stacker in particular, it might be a problem on their end.

I’ll give it a reset it’s just been random failures mostly with zaps and new posts

If that doesn't fix it, let me know and we can investigate more. It could be a lightning network thing - like a liquidity problem or a flakey channel.

To me, it doesn't make sense that Bitcoin Lightning⚡ hasn't achieved a high level of adoption 🤔

no offline receive, must manage liquidity, to start you have to open a channel, you can't just receive a little zap.

sure wallets are solving all of these problems in different ways, but the clunkiness is still there. one must be pretty motivated to persevere to the point where everything feels easy.

For an average user who uses Wallet of Satoshi (WoS), there are no such technical difficulties.

This year is my first time on a university-wide committee that approves new courses and course modifications.

I have to say, the number of grievance-studies courses is alarming.

I'm guessing it's worse than average where you are

Probably. This is California after all.

I'm just wondering how we rein it all in. We probably can't and the market is gonna have to do it for us

Are you seeing declining enrollment? Ultimately, that's what reins it in.

42 sats \ 1 reply \ @SimpleStacker 25m

Yes, and you can see these departments becoming more territorial over what constitutes GE credit for "diversity" related GE requirements.

Words are not violence. When you pretend that views that oppose your own are violence, you are justifying the use of actual violence towards the speaker.

Be very vigilant to the use of the word "harm". That is a frequently used word in these communities, that certain actions or words cause "harm", and it's a quick hop and step from "harm" to "violence". I know because my wife works in a field that is adjacent to this all this (the disability community)
