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!
@cryotosensei can you confirm if / how this works? Onchain?

Let me send you a screenshot that I took of the payments on Grab
https://m.stacker.news/21838
I’m bitterly disappointed. Grab doesn’t allow LN top-ups
https://m.stacker.news/22648
That is a shame!
Yes.
I kinda don’t want to try this out yet because Triple A - the crypto payment firm - takes a 2% fee haha. Maybe I will try it out with my MSM winnings.
In other news, Triple A partnering with AXS - a bill payment company - so we can pay for our bills with Bitcoin via the LN

Ooh I just encountered an interesting experience on SN.
I have the “undo zap” feature enabled on my account. I zapped a post. Before the 5 second countdown finished, I force closed the PWA on my phone.
After reopening the app, I found that the zap in fact did not go through. This slightly conflicts with how the UX is portrayed, given it’s shown as a 5 second countdown to undo the zap.
As discussed with @ek, it’s really just a delayed zap with 5 seconds to cancel it, as opposed to a true undo.
If I were non technical, I might open a bug report for this. But I am more inclined to say this is working as designed 😜
Finally getting my gig posted on bitcoinerfreelance.com. Kind of like Fiver for LN.

How do I unmute someone ? @sn
find the account that you want to unmute, click the three-dot and choose unmute.
I don't remember !
I'm on a quest to unmute the mysterious strangers I silenced in the past.
LOL
I'm serious.
edit: Maybe @ek can help.
No, we don't have such a list yet.
But if you scroll through SN and don't see any collapsed comments, they are probably not active anymore anyway?
Not trying to excuse us from providing such a list, just saying that muting someone still means you would see their comments, just collapsed by default.
Is there a GitHub issue for this enhancement?
I don't think so, at least I haven't found one.
I haven't seen any collapsed items recently, so it's probable that they are no longer active.
Good for you. There probably should be a muted list somewhere for exactly this situation.
I think many stackers here still do not get my full hate on shitcoiners...
That means you guys are not full bitcoiners. You are just pretending to be bitcoiners.
This hate is not for nothing. It have a meaning. A very important meaning.
When you truly understand my rage against shitcoiners, then you truly understand Bitcoin.
So don't shitcoin on me... or I will shit on you!

Hey Stackers,

FYI @k00b and @ek
Lightning login is working but getting an error message when trying to use email login for my survivor pool account.
"Failed to send email. Make sure you entered your email address correctly"
Email address is correct. Same one I always use to login. Tried from both my laptop and phone and got the same message.
use nostr login. The best one IMHO
Yes I should switch it once it is working again but currently that account is set up for email login only.
Just use both
How do I do that when I can't log in?
But you are already logged in, otherwise you couldn't post this.
So go to your profile and link a nostr account.
@grayruby is talking about another account. @k00b is currently looking into the email issue.
It should be fixed now. Sorry about that. Some kind of cert issue without our email provider.
I am not referring to this account. I am referring to another account I run the sports pools from, I can't log into that one. I was supposed to make a post for the NCAA tournament pool I am running. Once I log in, I can link the nostr account I have for stacker sports but until I login I can't do that.
uuugh I do not like multi-account posters... sounds like cheating.
Anyways, I just checked. It is working again now. I was able to login. I will connect to the nostr as well so I have multiple options. Thanks for your help guys.

Good morning stackers.
Day 51 of 100 push ups till 100k completed.
We also reached Yosemite National Park yesterday. This place is absolutely stunning! We also lucked out with the weather.
One of my favorite places in the world. Pictures cannot capture the emotion it evokes.
Agreed. Pictures don't do this place justice. Being here is the way.
Doesn't it make you feel small? I love that place so much.
Yes it does make me feel small and humbles me.
Standing so close in front of El Cap also made me appreciate what Alex Honnold achieved and the greatness of that achievement. Makes me really bullish on what humans can do.
https://m.stacker.news/21790
I didn't know you were headed to Yosemite. That's awesome. Quite the drive.
Looking forward to your Hiking Adventures Yosemite edition in the future.
Check this out, impressive adventure of crossing the entire Canada from east to west up until Arctic Ocean, 25k KM in almost 2000 days.

Thanks for sharing. The Great Trail caught our attention when my wife told me about it a few years back. It's quite something to walk across the whole trail.
that looks incredible 😍😍
I am a passionate hiker too.
But when I saw this incredible story / documentary, made by a 50 yrs woman, alone, 6 years walking, I was very impressed.
Incredible story!
Definitely worth watching. Thanks for sharing
i gotta get outta the boring UK more often. but sadly travel is just so expensive these days. hopefully i'll be able to afford to travel more. i've been to some incredible places, south america, south east asia. but i havn't been in some time and really need to get back to it.
Why? You just grab a backpack with some food and clothes and go... Put your hammock between 2 trees and sleep. Why do you have to do expensive trips when you have so much nature near you? You don't have to go across the globe just to hike.
Hiking is something we do regularly. But unfortunately due to UK laws, you can't just put a tent anywhere. It has to be proper campsites and they charge you. Plus to get anywhere worth hiking from where I am, you need to drive to the decent places, so there's fuel cost and then parking costs. There's always hidden costs, nothing is free. The UK has found a way to charge you for anything they can these days. Doesn't make it impossible ofcourse, just more difficult. But we do go hiking often.
I can write about my Yosemite trip in this week's hiking post. We didn't do too much hiking, but there are photos of some beautiful views I would like to share.
Looking forward.
Howdy!
52 days of 100 push ups a day until $100k down. Undetermined to go.

I agree. Each region has its own customs and habits, and sign language is no exception. For example, here in Portugal, unlike in other countries, when someone lets you pass in traffic, you raise your open hand with your fingers together. In most places, you thank someone by raising your thumb.

Feeling disconnected out on the high seas. I see there was a nice dip. I have my dca going but limited smash buy abilities. All in all, disconnecting has been refreshing, but I'm missing my normal SN routine.
We're doing our best to congratulate the Feds for their efforts without you. Lean in to the disconnection.
Good. I can rest and drink easy.
I'm a firm believer in the power of shaking things up. When you break the routine, you come back to it with a new perspective and a greater sense of purpose.

I believe in you and I'm proud of you. You're worth it and you're important my good friend, as always, be well and stay frosty!!
Yesterday, for the first time my 6 year old daughter beat me at chess, she left me helpless with the king and 3 pawns, while she massacred me with the queen, 2 bishops, a knight and 4 pawns. It was wonderful.
I’m not joking - proud moment.
I felt too proud, she has been playing chess at home for 3 months and I have never taken her to chess classes. It was masterful how she had my pieces cornered.
deleted by author
Yes, of course, I totally agree with that. I'm looking for a place that offers chess classes or a club. It will be brutal when she is the one who beats me in all the games.

i woke up with lots of extra sats from my posts last night… the best ~charts post today gets them all
couldn’t decide between @davidw and @oliverweiss so sent them both some sats.
today was a bit bigger than usual, but for those who are new to SN, i basically empty my wallet on ~charts content each day
Wow, amazing! thanks a lot!
Thanks for the generosity. I didn’t even spot this post. My stacker senses must have been connected today. My first post for 2 weeks 🤠

This isn't Italian, but I think a picture speaks louder than words anyway. The direct translation sounds a bit odd in English, so here are a few alternatives:
What you see is not always what you get.
Don't be fooled by appearances.
There's more to someone than meets the eye.
Things are not always what they seem.
You can't judge a book by its cover.
I hate Apple so, so much.
No need to use that company.
You can get a Kubuntu Focus if you need a nice laptop for example.
Yes, no need to use them but there is a need to serve them since a significant portion of stackers use iOS (unless we want to tell them to get fucked):
https://m.stacker.news/21651
Apple does not seem to care about how utterly broken their web push implementation in WebKit is[1] and we have written enough code to try to workaround their undocumented bugs (which they flag as "missing support") with minimal success.
After they announced they would pull PWAs from Europe (which they can't even call PWAs, they call them home screen apps and push notifications remote notifications because they are so special), I felt defeated and looked into Safari push notifications even though it hurts my soul. @k00b even paid for an iPhone for debugging a while ago.[2]
Turns out you need an Apple developer license for Safari push notifications which costs $99/year (it's not about the money, it's about the message) and I had AppleID login issues again. It wasn't working in Brave, I had to use Safari on iOS to login and try to enroll.
Then, they wanted not only my money but also my data (ID verification). After I uploaded the required photos, there was another error which simply said that something is wrong with my account and I should contact their support with a link to some generic support site. What a way to tell me to get fucked.
I guess Apple hates me as much as I hate them.
Fortunately, I didn't need an Apple account to file a bug with WebKit ↩
I couldn't even buy it from the official store because I couldn't register an AppleID account due to signup errors. Bought it from Amazon then. ↩

The older I get, the faster time passes. It's crazy.
I remember as a kid playing Super Mario World for what it felt like an eternity, and yet it was simply one day.
Now it seems like time flies, I barely look into something and bam!, the day is gone.
I loved playing Super Mario World. I played it on a Raspberry Pi emulator. I didn't end up beating the game, but I got the world 6 I think. It was pretty fun.
Hard to believe we are this far into the year already…
And the century...
24% done.
Woah!
My amateur speculation is that time passes more slowly when we're taking in lots of new information.
When we're young, more is new, so time passes more slowly.
I have found two explanations of this phenomena:
Got my power report today from the utility company
You 245 kWh
Efficient Homes 291 kWh
Similar Homes 668 kWh
Most of the power comes from coal and natural gas.
Love this time of the year. Yesterday evening, I wore short sleeves when I walked the dog. This morning, my winter coat.
i do okay without it, but why not
I’m like hatless Jack myself…
I'm still alive. but i lost my damn hat at 4 in the morning!
Get it back. Dangerous out here
Woohoo. You found one!
100 is the way 🤠
I had an idea yesterday that the hat should only be earned by downzapping. What do you think?
the idea i had was for hats to last longer :P instead of resetting every day. maybe resetting every two days. more maybe it can be orders of magnitude. for 100 1 day, for 1000 2 days, for 10000 3 days. etc
It's not a completely outlandish idea, but I think it would be very difficult to get it back after a few days.
It's still 100 sats a day, it's just that if you spend 1000 you keep the hat for two days instead of just one

and me listening beautiful music!
reminded me of a quote: the only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
I'm a big fan of world music, and this particular type really resonates with me. We have a music festival here in Portugal called "Músicas do Mundo" (World Music Festival). I try to go whenever I can, and I always have a great time. I especially love the sound of the Kopuz and that synthetic skin drum... what's it called?
@Natalia
Ah, I remember now! It's called a 'Doumbek'.
wow.
is more like a reminder for those that forget this daily mood :)

playing around in the terminal recently, and I've learned how to install wireguard directly, so cool! All you need is to paste these codes: https://www.wireguard.com/install/. But I haven't figured out how to set the VPN conf from Mullvad with this setup. 🧐
and why is this not the default way to install software but depending on Apple or Google store, where are full of restrictions and rules?!
Because people like one click installs, instead of having to figure out the commands to run on the command line.
Still confused what the problem with your /etc/wireguard folder is 👀
