how are HODL invoices not as big a controversy as the blocksize debate? Seems to me that when you can escrow across the LN for more or less free that creates a similar problem to making blockspace free.

Done with the new reward algorithm. Now just a bit of testing and then hopefully I'll deploy it by end of day.

I did some surface level research but here's what I know. They were made in the 80's and are supposed to be a North American Stonehenge that could survive a nuclear war. Its a calendar, clock, and astronomy tool all in one. It also has some measurements and stuff carved into it. Where it gets interesting is the prescriptions it gives for current and future societies:
Due to this and other reasons, many associate it with the NWO and Satanism. The monument is reviled by a lot of people.

Anyone know why traffic has been so peaking last night and this morning?

the pattern of traffic from last night and this morning looks really strange… haven’t ever seen these kinds of hourly spikes from Reddit traffic.
At first I thought it might be an email newsletter sharing Stacker News, but that seems unlikely too, considering how the spikes in traffic have continued well into today… most email newsletter traffic spikes in one hour and tails off over the next few hours.

Oh cool. That's probably contributing but this is a lot of traffic and bursts of it (like 5x people than is usual on the site at a given time).

Probably incoming traffic from reddit.

The analytics don't show the origin as being reddit ... but from experience I know they don't always show up as the referrer in Google Analytics, so maybe that's also true on Plausible.

Are you sure there isn't some kind of attack going on?
For instance, in the Plausible metrics, for today, Laptop device shows 64% of the counts. Normally that's in the 22% range.

Could be an attack. Could also just be a crawler.
