130 sats \ 1 reply \ @grimtechnet 15h \ on: Introvert - The AI Dating Co-pilot launches on Geyser Fund today! AI
That's not a launch. That's a, "I have an idea. Give me money."
I had this same idea last July, and I got 32 sats for the idea.
This is Bitcoin. Show proof of work. Build the MVP first, then ask for funding.
I like this. A lot. This is like the Bitcoin version of Fiverr/Upwork/Freelancer and that brings me joy.
Every freelancer starts with 0 trust but the default trust when creating jobs is 50. So if anyone is going to post a job, remember to set that slider to 0 or nobody will be able to take the job.
Unfortunately there are 0 jobs on there. I thought I would create a silly 4000 sat job, but looks like the minimum is 10K sats. I can't spare 10K sats right now so It'll have to wait.
I set a bookmark and I'll be checking back on this. Would love to experience both ends of this-- freelancing and hiring freelancers.
I rode my bicycle to the grocery store today and on the way home I came across someone's junk scattered all over the road. Looked like a weird antenna and thick metal mounting brackets. Definite hazard to motorists. Got off my bike and waited for the road to clear before I threw the junk off to the side in the dirt.
I figured I got everything so I was about to get back on my bike. A dump truck zoomed past. An old woman walking on the sidewalk saw what I was doing and picked up some more brackets that I didn't notice. She asked what happened and I said, "I don't know." She said she was worried that the dump truck was going to run over the bracket and cause it to hit her. I said something about making it safe.
I found a manual for the antenna and I put the stuff on top as a paperweight. She asked if there was anything else and I said, "I think that's it." and then I nodded and zoomed off.
Maybe it was a thing that fell off someone's truckbed. Maybe they'll come back for it. Feels really good to do good deeds like this.
My winter gloves wore out so I bought new ones. The new ones are waterproof and I hate them because they trap in sweat and stay wet for days π‘
Note to self, don't buy waterproof gloves
UPDATE. I tried it. Ran it in my terminal, forgot about it for 3 hours, then when I got back to it, it hadn't done anything because it got stuck on a dependency :(

This software UI is so good! I love how it's so rich with data and features yet still so approachable.
Oh my bad! In that case I probably dumped a little too much information. To make more sense of it, let me post the specs that really matter. I think something similar in specs to the following would be good for video editing and graphics editing.
CPU: Intel Core i7-10610U (8 cores @ 4.9 GHz)
GPU: Intel UHD Graphics @ 1.15 GHz
Memory: 24GB
Disk: 500GB
Oh for sure! I edit using kdenlive on one of my Thinkpads. I assume it could run other editing software too. I haven't had any issues with editing. Here are the specs on mine

Yeah buddy!
Laptops are highly subjective so I have 3 recommendations. If you're on a budget, Thinkpad T series are great. You can find them on eBay super cheap, or pay a little more for more processor/RAM/etc. I have 2 of them and they're pretty good for general purpose use. For me that's browsing the web, doing light video editing, and making simple games. They have a magnesium frame which is durable and lightweight.
If you want something more performant for games, I've always been happy with System76 products. I had a super powerful Bonobo WS for years and loved it. https://system76.com/laptops.
Finally, there's https://frame.work/ which is cool and trendy. I haven't personally tried them but I like that they're repairable.

Ey, more unemployed means more vtubers. There are only 15944, we need more π
I don't have a budget for gambling so I don't touch prediction markets, but I was fascinated by this video explaining how sports gambling worked, explaining the job of Bookies, and talking about Polymarket's accuracy today. It's kind of a shame how anti-gambling laws snuffed out prediction markets for so long.
They had cloth napkins in 1974? Today ours are rough paper and they fall apart while you're using them.
Major respect for your zine work! Physical, tangible, full color, thoughtfully laid out articles, striking appearance π©βπ³ π
One of my websites is getting way too many requests to stay within budget. I'm having to drop anon account ability to playback videos. Now visitors have to log in first.
Gotta earn more money somehow. The required login widened my sales funnel which is good. Free accounts work, but you don't get all the analytics features unless you're a paid member.
Looked in my Pocketbase logs. Saw tons of SQL injection attacks. Luckily it's attacks for Oracle server, so whoever's doing that doesn't seem very focused. Botnet maybe. Might have to set up some CDN stuff to block that.
Realized I have an unsecured api endpoint where people can bypass the login and get the direct link to the videos. Not a huge deal yet (very few visitors know how to access it.) Can't just put access controls on the endpoint because that is the same endpoint for visitors get data for the webpages. Gotta re-architect that.
Definitely gotta remove the ability for users to download videos through the direct links. Could be that there are other sites hotlinking. Haven't seen any indication of that in the logs, but there's a shitton of logs I haven't seen and you know what they say about Murphey's Law. Gotta set up CDN signed URLs that expire after awhile so it's not an issue.
Never a dull moment.
Sorry I'm oblivious to most of what Venezuela is like, but I'm curious. What's the government like? Do you feel free? Real question. I'm trying to figure out what it's like to live there. Pardon me while I ask lots of questions.
Are the streets dirty? Is there an organization that is supposed to clean but is neglecting their duties? Is there trash collection?
Is it safe to go out? Is there violence? To people conceal carry or brandish weapons? Are there police?
Are there constant reminders of a system or something that used to work but doesn't anymore? Does everyone feel it? Is there hope?
Do people respect the law? Do people covet precious metals? Has it always been that way?
