Took me a bit to push myself to actually compile Qt, but all you need is System Qt - ever since forever (0.12 or so?). This is 29.1:

I know it's hard to tell on X but being annoying is only one of many ways to contribute to bitcoin.

Sometimes I wonder how path dependent we are actually. Take Bitcoin's unrepeatable origin for example. If the scamming continues, and all faith is lost in alts, perhaps some future alt can be bootstrapped honestly.

have fun using tether?
the wheel that is bitcoin is working/rolling just fine, and shall be improved upon by good creative people, as long as the shape is kept circular (in a metaphorical sense), and prevented from becoming a square;

Running Breez SDK

So much better than the previous one! 🀠

Guess I’m outta the loop, has it always worked like that?

reply

Ok, actually, I was wrong, there's also a Spark SDK that has nothing to do with Breez: buildonspark/sdk

Yes, Breez SDK is either using Spark or Liquid

reply

Cool, then it’s whatever! I just think Breez sounds cooler ~lol

Day 3 of debugging kafka on apple container:

Error       0x0                  1801   0    container-runtime-linux:
[com.apple.container:RuntimeLinuxHelper] process deletion [uuid=broker]
[id=broker]  [error=internal error (13): unknown error processing request]

I was so optimistic... better to be a pessimist sometimes, lol.

If Kafka is still using Zookeeper for consensus, good luck.

Was NATS a bust?

reply
If Kafka is still using Zookeeper

Not from 0.11 and up I think - i.e. since 8 years or so?

Was NATS a bust?

Sort of. I found it very hard to use outside of a server environment, needs a lot of work to make it survive dumb things that happen on desktop environments like sleep. The out-of-the-box inconsistencies after wake were driving me nuts. And I wanted this to ultimately embed it, but it's just easier to use leveldb and custom build the at-least-once logic on top, so I've switched to that.

Kafka is because I plan to do a ton of server-side processing in the future so I'm now trying to get a working dev environment w/ it... on macos, lol. I should just connect to my dev server but I want to be able to work offline too so now I'm down the apple container rabbithole because I truly dislike docker desktop.

reply

You're right. And I think we had this conversation about zookeeper a couple months ago. My poor brain.

reply

I didn't remember before you mentionend it and I'm too lazy to do a search. Let's just re-label repetition as cognitive honey, then it's a good thing, and stickier.
