So I've been looking at laptops for 2 days now, which means I'm an expert on all things laptop related. And this is what I've found. Contrary to reputation MacBook air is now the affordable (brand ne...

I love my 2020 MacBook Air with an M1 chip. Bought it refurb for $600 maybe 3 years ago now? Anything running windows is so jank now (filled with ads and bloat ware). Linux or Mac OS is the way to go for sure. I recently built a PC and had to spend quite a bit of time, even with the help of AI, cleaning up the windows experience and making an offline windows profile.

That $600 refurb M1 Air might be the best value in computing history, and honestly nothing proves your point better than having to wrestle Windows into submission just to make a fresh build usable. 🍉 If you have a moment, our story and campaign details are pinned at the top of my page. Warm rega...

Do you sunburn?

I would sunburn mostly my forehead and nose bridge, yes. Only places I would apply zinc ironically. I try and limit direct sun exposure to 3 hours before covering skin with clothing. I’m usually out during peak UV hours, the other day I had 5 hours direct sun but actually tanned up really nicely, I was quite surprised. I have an epic farmers tan from work this summer.

There are far more ways of rugging yourself through dice rolls. Don’t hop on what these retards say. Use 24-12 approach if you are really worried: 1) let the device generate 24 words seeds 2) use coinflips/ dice rolls to generate 12 word passphrase. This can be done totally offline. You can us...

I don't have enough technical knowledge to have a not biased opinion or derived by looking at actually what Bip110 is or the changed made in Core 30 were.. .. but there's a thing I did notice in the ...

Well put, and I agree. The sentiment of this post was the exact reason I switched to Knots support early in the debate. At this point now I’ve lost the plot because I really don’t know the technicals well enough. It’s always in hindsight when things become clear, I can’t believe how easily I was persuaded into buying and using the cold card while having a general understanding of the importance of open source software. I don’t know how this bip-110 will pan out but I do know it’s important to have developers and maintainers in the space that are decentralized, node runners that are decentralized, and miners that are decentralized. I worry about the future of mining decentralization. When the difficulty becomes so hard that only massive conglomerates are able to solve a block what happens then? Similar to housing now with banks and firms buying up the block inflating the market where only the most affluent can own. Fiat debasement is much to blame but that’s a different topic all together.

We need to hope in a mining revolution, where everyday objects can easily be plugged to mine at a fair cost. Solo mining lottery or many mini conglomerate of miner friends could also help. In the end it's all about incentives.. if Bitcoin Core is/was captured is because they see better incentives i...
