Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
I think we need a bot called @territoryalert.
Or just another hire, lol

a bright orange future huh
Migrating my current laptop to the m2. It’s actually quite a bit slower to update to Sonoma. Probably because it has 25% of the ram.
It’s still a very nice laptop for the price assuming it doesn’t crap out in a year too.
Finding this Claudine Gay drama at Harvard so fascinating… the soft bigotry of low expectations..
Last day of my fist job for the year. Hopefully not too many fist job years left! I smell a Bitcoin standard and prosperity in my future!
I just listened to Whitney Webb on WBD. I have heard her on podcasts before. I always enjoyed listening to her, but sometimes she seemed pretty far out there. This episode is well worth listening to. She articulates the BlackRock ETF NGU nonsense very well. She sees many bitcoiners as ready to get paid off in a deal with the devil. As she sees it, bitcoin was created as a fuck you to the banks. Don't join the system now. Larry Fink is not your friend.
Give it a listen.

Your stocking was overflowing but thanks for the milk and cookies. Merry Christmas.
Given the occasional lower fee block

what are the odds of a 50 sat/vB tx confirming over the weekend?
none. fees will never go back to 100sats/vb... due to some fuckers that are funding high fees... just like ha penned in 2016-2018... few remember those times.

Do you sell a Bitcoin product (or any product at all)? Advertise it on ~marketplace
You can use this image I generated if you want
https://m.stacker.news/9033
Awesome yeah I'll use it!
Dude. You rock. I have a tab opened with a territory purchase that I was going to do for ~shop. Now I can close my tab! I'm glad you did this.
Haha I didn't know you could open a tab. Yeah I think ~marketplace will be a solid territory
As we're entering the Christmas weekend, and the weekend is my break from computers. I wish all Stackers a merry Christmas, full of joy and good surprises.

I have had a change of heart... bitcoin is retarded. does not have private transactions... not even tail emission, stupid shit will be dead soon. only retards do not use monero

“No bro you don’t get it bro you’ve gotta have inflation bro! Cmon bro we need inflation bro”
“No bro you don’t get it bro you’ve gotta have $60 transaction fees bro! Cmon bro people can afford this bro! I know gold securely existed as the hardest money for several millenia and had a little inflation bro but that doesn't count bro”
“No bro you don’t get it bro, I know I can hard fork off at anytime bro but I really wanna try to push something down other peoples throats instead bro”
"No bro you don't get it bro, let me change the subject, I know it's permissionless, no one is forced to use Monero, can easily swap for another crypto at any moment, or fork it and nobody can stop them...but they can still push it down other peoples throats brooooooo! think of the brooooooos, brooooo!"
No subject was changed.
If you want tail emission simply fork the code
Or alternatively try crying harder and see if that works for you 👍🏼
You went from the topic of inflation to hardforks
We can call it moving the goal post if that makes you more comfortable
I don't want to fork Bitcoin
We already have Monero 👌
I've posted many new polls today! Go vote! ~polls
That's a lot of pills 🤣 would be rude not to go and vote now.
My laptop screen completely stopped working this week. So lame. My last MacBook lasted me 8 years. This one lasted 18 months.
Mine is 9 years young now. It’s been a fantastic tool thus far
You will freaking love the M2
I have an M1. That big of a difference?
Well specifically the 15" Air, yes. It's the form factor. Perfect machine.
Well, it arrives in 2 hours. We'll see. I've been really happy with my M1 Pro until now. The M2 will probably serve as a backup unless it's that much better.

When subscriptions to territories? There's far too much stuff I don't care about showing up now. I find almost nothing upvote worthy scrolling through recents which was my favorite past time on here.
Hopefully next week. Sorry, I know it's a shitshow right now. We weren't expecting this much demand.
Just the ability to mute a territory would be 🔥
Fun experiment though, I think it's hilarious. But yes, filters / subscriptions are definitely needed!
I might not subscribe to my own territories.
pump and dump strategy?
What's getting pumped and what's getting dumped? And who is doing either?
niiiice, you got triggered...
The message wasn't for you personally, but for others... to think.
You being triggered, means a lot anyways.
Thanks for confirming.

The amount of garbage on SN is concerning. Every day is increasing 10x more shit pilling on top of other day's garbage.
Slowly SN became a new reddit shithole.
Who knows maybe this was all along plan?

Will be covering SN top 5 stories of the week.
I wonder what you will do when 2 of 5 top stories will be from NSFW or Cannabis, or Personal Finance (aka shitcoining), or many other junk "territories" that will make SN looks like a reddit shithole.
Would you talk about some kind of "most zapped" post on one some junk territory?
😆People take podcasts too seriously, SNL is for the community, we did it when no one watched it. Also at a time when sn had very few users.

Wen nostr only?
Push notifications not working for anyone else? iOS PWA here
Works for me on Brave Android PWA and Brave Desktop currently.
But it's behaving weird lately. I enabled them on desktop today again (had them disabled for better focus) but I think I never received the initial "Stacker News notifications are now active".
Btw, are you running out of storage on your iPhone? @k00b had the idea that it might be related to storage not being persistent.
Not storage, but it is an older model so memory might be an issue.
And the setting is still showing as checked, I’m just not receiving any
Mhh, did you try to disable and enable it again?
Not yet :)
Just did and they’re flowing again. Weird
Day 4 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 903 sats!
Running total: 3,562 sats!
Yesterday's comment
Day 5's comment
For the programmers out there, I’ve also implemented a singly linked list in these comments! ;)
If you post for two days at the same time, you can even create a doubly linked list :)
lol I could!
What are you mining with?

That moment when you are looking at mempool and "seems" to be back to normal, the weekend is near ... maybe a 40sat/vB and I am pretty sure that some big player will "add a batch" for the weekend.

The early years were tumultuous, a whirlwind of hope and despair. A dust storm had gathered, Bitcoin galloped through the digital plains, foaming at the mouth and surging forward, capturing the world's attention, only to stumble and fall, its flanks bloodied and legs weary. Followers left despondent and its gamblers broken in a state of uncertainty, wiping the dust from damp eyes. But through it all, the chain persevered, and its adherents passion undeterred by the chaos that surrounded them.
Looks like I need to make it a habit of visiting the Saloon every other day. Love this personification n vivid imagery
You should at least stick your head round the door… you never who or what’s going on… or going out the window lol
Save some beer for me lol
Complete history in a paragraph. Nice!
You said I should post what I have.. this is maybe the third paragraph in a short history of bitcoin piece… so thank you. A few projects started but I do need to finish some lol
Looks like you're on a great track. I can't get motivated for anything right now. I'm hoping it's seasonal.
I try and remind myself that as the year is seasonal so is life.. peaks and troughs.

Nice work man.
All thanks to YOU.
Much calmer breathing. Pain starts close to 2mins now. My hip lowers an inch or 2 at the end specially if my eyes are closed(Need to consciously fix this).
Hope to reach 3 min mark end of month. 17585 blocks to go for the dream 7min!

Someone just had to do it.
I predict that you're going to need a higher posting fee.
Ditto
lol, it's not even been 24 hours and people are already posting stuff in ~crypto assuming it's about cryptocurrencies or crypto ETFs, lol
I am glad I didn't bet against, haha (I was about to)
update: I have raised posting costs to 100 sats now.
Do you think it will be a real cryptography territory, or was it a sacrificial claim to prevent an altcoin territory? ~shitcoins is still available
I'm trying hard haha
Was more about being serious that people should see "crypto" as "cryptography" again and not as "cryptocurrencies". However, I already founded ~oracle and ~security, so I wasn't sure if I could keep another territory up and alive by posting stuff. But I think this is a goal worth trying. And I realized I do have quite some stuff that I read about ~crypto over the years that is worth sharing on SN.
So I am going to unleash all my knowledge about ~crypto (and ~security) over time here, one post at a time, hoping other will chime in :)
I talked about some of the EFF stuff you posted here.
I love this history.
https://m.stacker.news/9073
Oh wait, whaaaat? 😅 I was wrong, thank goodness u survived the fall
hahaha, this could be funny.
Please use bitcoin whenever possible and realistic, and then use cash otherwise, last resort is credit card and bank transfer?
Microloans the match,
Entrepreneurs' dreams ignite,
Economies soar.
This reminds me of the WBD podcast from the other day. Femi Longe challenging us to stop hoarding sats and start investing in bitcoin projects in Africa. Provocative message.
I haven’t listened to it but as a general point… one of the legacies of colonialism is that the tools of administration put in by colonial powers are now co-opted by authoritarian rulers to exploit people a second time. We need to get financial products into the hands of local people to local projects and a $1 worth of our sats in their hands will do more good than $1 of world bank debt in the hands of their government.
That was his main point. Our sats can go a long way in Africa. It wouldn't take many to fund projects. The issue of course, is to separate the real from the scam.
(Sorry - I should probably listen before running my mouth off).
Real vs scam is an interesting point for Bitcoiners… and one I struggle with. And of course we should be looking for continual verification rather than trusting these projects.
But then I give $5 to the homeless guy at the bus station and I don’t follow up on that… interesting thoughts
deleted by author
Agreed. I wonder if McCormack is going to follow up by identifying actual projects. He seemed a little ambivalent, but maybe I read too much into it.
He has talked about visiting and he did a sat raiser for an electricity project I think (?). Being hosted by Gridless may give a different impression to being hosted by a clean water charity though… no criticism but just a free form thought.
Malawi and Gladstein. You got it all right here.
Good morning gang!! Friday is here and the weekend is about to start, time to check if our strategies worked and get tweaking if they needed an adjustment, I apologize for not being able to post yesterday, but rest assured that I sent you some good vibes your way as always, christmas eve is next Sunday so time for some great dinner and spend it with family and friends. Last minute shopping as well and plan the menu for the evening, the menu that was decided was cordon Bleu, Fettuccine and apple salad, so let's see if I can manage to get it right, first time for me to cook that so I'm hoping I'll get it right, already prepared with some tutorials so it doesn't seem complicated but we will see, I've got this!! Anyways, I wish you, my friend, a phenomenal Friday!! May it be filled with success, joy and most of all love. You're awesome and you know it, so kick rear and get things done! Be well and stay frosty my incredible friend!!
Dinner sounds amazing. Have a great day!
Thanks buddy, fingers crossed for me to be able to get it right, might change the recipe a bit, make it more creamy, stuff the chicken with ham, cheese and some spinach cream or pumpkin cream. Can't put it on top since cordon Bleu is crisp on the outside, might make it soggy... Boy oh boy, would have preferred good ol' faithful turkey,but it's all good, I love a good challenge hehehehe. Have a spectacular day my friend!!
Fingers crossed for you!
Appreciate it buddy!!! Let's do this!!!

Debian, Arch, Fedora, Raspberry Pi OS and Ubuntu. Depends on the use case.
Ubuntu.
I use Arch (with dwm, btw). The AUR is just too good.
I have tried to switch to DWM but never stuck. Any advice?
Have you used (tiling) window managers before?
If not, I would recommend to use other tiling window managers first. I started with awesome and then i3. After i3 became too opinionated for me (or I became too opinionated for i3), I switched to dwm because it's also from suckless like dmenu and I really like dmenu.
However, the config in C of dwm is definitely something that is quite unique among window managers. After every change, you have to recompile your window manager. But this sounds worse than it actually is in the long run. The hardest part is just to get comfortable with a configuration so you never have to touch it again, lol
But since you're working with C code, it's definitely intimidating and if you want to have some common features, you have to patch it yourself into your configuration file using patches other people provided.
I think I also almost ditched it because I couldn't figure out terminal scrolling, lol. But then I started to just use tmux as my default terminal which has scrolling built-in. And now I can't live without tmux: tmux + dmenu = <3
Btw, here is a comparison table of tiling window managers.
I've tried i3 and it didn't stick. I've used Tmux for probably 10 years now so I like this type of UI. I think having issues with basic tasks (the learning curve) has been the barrier.
I did this with Vim back in the day. Knew it was better but it took a few tries to stick. Never regretted it. Thanks for the tips and links.
Yeah, it can be quite frustrating dealing with a new setup in the beginning. I think the most important thing in the beginning is to know how to get unstuck fast. I think i3 has a hotkey to open up the help where you can look up common actions. You could also print it out. But yes, you need to bring some time in the first few days but the idea is it will be worth it in the long run just like with vim:
Yeah, vim is awesome :) There is still so much I could learn about it but figuring out how to use vim macros was already a game changer for me. I want to switch from VSCode to neovim one day but I am not there yet.

Mint is solid and more windows like. I recommend Fedora with Gnome but I haven't used Winblows since 98 and I don't game at all.
I agree. Mint > Ubuntu. I think anything is better than Ubuntu tbh, lol
I heard Proton should work quite well these days. ProtonDB lists how compatible games are with Linux. But if you play anything remotely competitive online then I think you can forget gaming on Linux. The required anti-cheat software seems to usually not work / exist on Linux. At least that's my experience with Rising Storm 2 and Rocket League. However, League of Legends did work iirc. (It's been some time since I tried gaming on Linux though.)
NixOs
Mega Chad
Not really. I had to make my own NixOS for dummies cheat sheet because the documentation confused the hell out of me. After playing around for a while, it turns out to be pretty logical. Keep in mind, I don't do anything very sophisticated. I learned the hard way to not mess with the configuration file much beyond your basic setup. I had to reinstall fresh more than once. Now I use home manager for messing around, and it's simpler to correct screwups. I really like how you can revert to prior configurations too. It's kind of idiot proof.
Yeah, I wanna try it
debian
Me too
Was happy with Debian 12. Problem was it ran higher power consumption than win 11 on my laptop. (20watt vs 11watts average for windows 11)
In my experience this is a big downside of most linux desktops.
