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!

woke up with a message to myself:
"i play an eclectic shaman role,
handing out a rainbow variety of metaphorical pills as spells,
to a race whose past and current conditions are
brutally traumatic, where parental abandonment
is rampant, with minimal guidance on how to live well;
my voice has power, and i shall use it, so help me iaoue"

Story & Origin of Shaman in WoW
games are allegories too!

ugh I hate introducing bugs when I fix address rare edge cases. it makes me worried that reality is programming me to ignore rare edge cases.

Problem was on our end. I shipped a change yesterday that short circuited a transition and caused this delay.

I'll push a fix now. Thanks for reporting!

With this saloon I'm starting understand why do lots of middle age ladies and fellows go to the bar after work.

All what we need - someone who's ready to listen to us

This image represents so many goals and so much faith...

It could be the realized dream of many of us here...

Perhaps we won't see it with our own eyes, or perhaps we will...

The world is undoubtedly changing...

Does anyone know about a good linux VPS service that offer free trial and ideally accept bitcoin payments without any kyc info?

reply

Here is a giant database with all you need.
https://bitcoin-vps.com

reply

Thanks, I was not expecting so many!

reply

bitcoin does not exist, it's a figment of imagination; VPS - that's a virtual pleb service, not important; nothing to see here =)

I'm preparing my comeback

Btw, we should play chess one time as SN arch-enemies

We can even play for sats if you want. Doesn't mean I think I'm going to win, just that I'm even willing to lose money just to play with you

Maybe I'll get an epic stalemate haha

reply

Hahah definitely!

Given that you're well below me in rating now, I need to give you legit odds too

Wow, wow, wow, what a performance... Just playing or have studied some "secret" opening?

reply

Not secret, but I've studied king's Indian + Jobava London quite a bit

Wait, there are variants of the London opening?

I only learned how to play King's Indian and London.

That moment when you play a game and have 60 FPS less on the map just because it’s raining.

I memba the old days of DOS games when you had to tweak your config.sys and autoexec.bat to load up as much memory you can for games.

DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE I=B000-B7FF I=BC00-BFFF
DOS=HIGH, UMB

reply

And, when intel made new CPUs, like 286->386 that you had to wrap frogger.exe in a cpu tick throttler so that you could actually play it

reply

omfg this is ancient code, good reminder for perspective;

brilliant reminder =)

not quite accurate, because con- means "together" but it's still funny;
"con" as a slang word may also be short for "con-spiracy" (breathe together, spirare, same root as in spirit), hence the expression "to con someone into believing a lie;"

If your identity is a key, how do you roll your key?

reply

Very insightful. I was just thinking about this. Bitcoin is software a tool to help better our lives. Many of us are risking it all in hopes of having a better life and more time with doing things we love and enjoy.

But I often think what happens if a zero day bug is exploited or like you mentioned the protocol’s cryptography gets cracked it would have massive implications for so many.

But to defeat this risk is quite simple. Have food and a home and start from zero again. Move on to the next day.

I sometimes wonder if a complete digital reset wouldn’t actually be good in the long run. If you can’t communicate with people all around the world pixels on a screen 24/7, we might actually care more about the people around us.

reply

i imagine a world where we still have a lot of new tech, like fast computers for playing games, but we somehow didn't have instant speed digital communication, and I feel like that world would actually be better...

but it's not really possible to go back. there's no possible way to enforce any agreement not to use tech that exists

reply
If you can’t communicate with people all around the world pixels on a screen 24/7, we might actually care more about the people around us.

Places like this still exist. Less screen time --> more talking, more time spent together, and people have way more energy and are generally happier.

This is why I enjoyed SNIRL at TABCONF so much. Meeting stackers in real life was so much fun! The fun I used to have as a teen just hanging with the bros.

We don't need much in life to be happy. Air, food, water, shelter, love, I think that's pretty much it. No bitcoin needed.

Reducing one's own identity to "bitcoiner" is the problem.

reply
Air

wen space suits for bitcoin? @AG

reply
Air, food, water, shelter, love

music and art too. 👀

No bitcoin needed.

yes, gold or cash is also fine, or simply helping each other.

Reducing one's own identity to "bitcoiner" is the problem.

yes.

reply

Agreed!

Sell all your bitcoin now. The game is over.
