I keep seeing this tweet, and it’s super duper wrong Start with the truism: electricity costs come from the three segments (generation, transmission, and distribution) G + T + D G includes both fixed and variable costs. The post incorrectly assumes only variable G costs matter

@adamwathan Where are the renovations in your house occurring? Unless they're happening outside, the wall you've torn down is exactly the opposite of where you want to isolate incoming sound from (i.e. they're outside walls). I'll lend this to @steveschoger if you want.

Before and after… (yes the order is correct 🥲) We're starting a big basement renovation in a couple of weeks and I need to soundproof the hell out of this room if I want any hope of producing videos in it while that's happening 🙉

@dvassallo @elonmusk Basically to save weight, plus it helps with reusability. He talks about this in many videos.

@elonmusk Curious, why doesn't this booster land on the ground with "feet" like the others, with maybe the chopsticks there to stabilize?

@peterktodd @timpastoor I'm actually curious what the limiting factor is in the BE. I'd imagine an L402 kind of mechanism would work to quell spam. Leave the door "open" (er.. to pay) for people who really rely on a message getting through. Plus you could use the LN funds for the UTXO fee.

@timpastoor Like I said, the protocol is highly scalable. But the code to actually make that work doesn't exist yet. Someone needs to write it.

Heh, I applied for a $20k grant to do a proper analysis of Nostr's decentralization on Saturday. Same idea (and similar cost) as my recent L2 Covenants article. Only took them one business day to reject it (took them 6 weeks to reject my grant request to keep OpenTimestamps running). I'm not surprised. I strongly suspect there isn't much good to say about Nostr's decentralization and I hear OpenSats is funding a bunch of Nostr. Nostr needs a serious redesign.

@nyonson_ Just as a noob to all this, I'd be curious if/how you tested each of these on real data. e.g. the actual time-to-encrypt differences, and how they all compare to hardware AES (which I'm assuming is a pretty good standard for speed, but I don't really know).

What a fantastic article in @tabletmag tabletmag.com/feature/americ…

@cldellow Also, FYI, you might want to blur that address.

A month ago, my brother reminded me of this again. They have changed their website again. It is now possible for foreigners to submit a claim by mail. Good riddance, State of Washington.

Jenn and I have an abandoned bank balance in the state of Washington. Occasionally, I try to use the state's Unclaimed Property website to recover this money: ucp.dor.wa.gov

@cldellow 🎉 (and I love 3+ year threads that get wrapped up)

@valkenburgh Cost/bit*

@valkenburgh There are fundamental limits to the beaming tech and radio bands used for Starlink (or any satellite comms, really). It's not dense enough to serve everyone in a city. Fire optic cables are superior in cost/but sent, and has better latency. They compliment each other.

I'm bullish on starlink replacing most other modes of data communication over the next decade.

They were part of growing up in Canada in the 1990s. We can instantly recognize the theme to their segments, and they inspired Canadians to get out and get active. This is the story of BodyBreak with Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod! Hal Johnson was raised in North York, ON and excelled at sports. He represented Canada as a first baseman at the World Baseball Championship. He was hired as a sports reporter by TSN but the offer was taken back because the network didn't want two Black reporters. Joanne McLeod grew up in Scarborough, ON, also excelling in athletics. She was a four-time national and seven-time provincial hurdle champion. She also represented Canada at the Pacific Conference Games and the 1978 Commonwealth Games. The couple met at the gym in the 1980s. In 1988, after receiving 40 rejections for sponsorship, including over the mixed-race pairing of the hosts, they self-financed BodyBreak, which cost $4,000. The name BodyBreak came from Hal's sister Lynn. The first BodyBreak was shot on July 13, 1988, which focused on using lunges to combat fatigue while golfing on the back nine. In January 1989, ParticipACTION signed on for additional shows. On April 28, 1989, BodyBreak aired on CBC for the first time. From the pilot until 1994, 128 segments were created, all focusing on how to incorporate exercise into daily life. From 1993 to 1995, Canada's Vitality project partnered with BodyBreak. The segments aired on numerous stations in commercial breaks, including TSN. The couple married in 1999. Since the first segment, over 300 90-second segments have aired. Maclean's has stated, "Trying to explain the cultural significance that Hal and Joanne have taken on...is like trying to explain the cultural significance of Tim Hortons."

@cadlam I'm curious about your thoughts on why opnsense vs pf.

Well, that was easy! Definitely much more responsive than the original software!

I have an old Sophos XG105 that was a pull from a client’s network. The WebUI was always glacially slow and I found it a somewhat disappointing device. It does however have USB and an HDMI port! I wonder if I can install @opnsense on it?

"You might find it preferable not to translate it into your own language. Often the standard answer about legalities is that it's only intended for people in other countries. Translating it into your home language weakens that argument."

He was careful with choosing software licences, but barely mentioned the law, just advising Malmi not to translate to Finnish:
