I'm still amazed that no-one has built a better experience for reading public mailing lists. Is Pipermail 0.09 really the state of the art?https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2023-September/thread.html
reply
https://chat.bitcoinsearch.xyz/ is a cool project. Everything is sourced from mailing lists and a couple other places. Also gives links to sources, so it's more trustworthy than the usual "trust me, bro" chatbot.
It's not a useful way to browse the btc mailing list, but it makes it trivial to find answers to any burning questions you may have.

Sunday Funday - Listening to Bitcoin Pods ,grocery shopping, parties and football

Sunday funday!! Hope everyone had an amazing weekend and recharged your energy, weekend is almost over and time to get things in motion once again, today I will relax and won't worry about anything, just pure laziness. Then again, I know that won't be true, always moving, always doing something, but it's a nice dream, perhaps I will watch a movie or do some house fixes. Whatever you choose I wish you success and happiness, leave the graphs and candles, tomorrow we will check them out, but for now dedicate the day to yourself or family and friends. As always, remember that you are important and you are appreciated, thank you! So be well and stay frosty my good friend!

@hn stopped working since this post because the HN Firebase API no longer works with IPv6:

And I wasn't able to force net/http to use IPv4 :(
I'll write dan
edit: Okay, I am dumb, I disabled IPv6 on my local machine and IPv6 no longer works on my VPS for some reason, lol
But I now tried my Linode server and there, it works. So I guess the error is on my VPS hosting provider side
edit 2:
But other domains work with IPv6 on that VPS 🤔🤔🤔
Did I get banned on IPv6? But I only poll every hour
reply
Did I get banned on IPv6? But I only poll every hour
But I guess it would look different if my IP got banned. However, Golang did report these errors as connection reset by peer (or there were different errors at that time?) which look more like a ban:

Did you ever see how a horn brush is being made? I spent three hours seeing how it was being cut and shaped from scratch, but I felt tired even just from watching 🤯
The master who made this said I could pass this on to my grandsons, I would like to make more things that can last - isn't it so silly to keep buying junks, what a waste of time and money.

We need a caturday on SN...
This is literally my cat named Leia (yes a Darthcoin must have a cat named Leia no?) She love the fire (from Mustafar) and Bitcoin. I have 4 cats.
reply
cc @sn or @hq
we need to have a caturday! so that we can see more cats from @Darthcoin
reply
reply
wow, any bitcoin cat babies from Leia?
reply
Leia is quite "special" (aka weird). She had once some babies, but she never want to take care of them! Terry (her mother) came and take care of them all the time and feed them.
Leia is a real princess, that live her own "high" life. But she loves me, not others.
Each cat have its own personality and if you know them well, you know how to talk with each.

cats loves glove brushes (because they see them as a warm hand), usually they are scared of this type of "human" brushes.
reply
oh! but I prefer just to use my bare hand - could we have a meme of Darthcoin hang around with cats, would be really funny 😂

Started a 21-day challenge in which I aimed to learn something new about Bitcoin or interact with its ecosystem every day. I would also record my progress on Stacker News.
Day 2 - Downloaded the Yzer app and consolidated my knowledge of Bitcoin through its fun quizzes. Transferred these sats to my Muun wallet. Found time to write about this experience on my Publish0x blog.

I'm an appropriately ignorant American. Tell me more

It’s like American Football for Europeans… no forward passes, no armour and teams of 15 on the field at any one time. It is a sport descended from rugby but now quite different; it’s in the nature of a young upstart young country to take perfectly good sports, change them to your own design and hold a World Series / World Championship knowing we Europeans couldn’t compete lol

You won’t get much out the UK supporters; with the best teams in the world being South Africa, Ireland, New Zealand and Italy they don’t have much to say. Still looking back to the victory of 2003 against Australia…
There is a slightly guilty aspect to the whole global Imperialism thing and it’s only right that having exported these games they should now be absolutely thrashed by way of punishment.
Anyone can recommend a SQL query builder for Golang?
Preferably one which is as close to the standard database/sql package as possible. I just need dynamic queries (I think).
So far, I am making out with gendry since they mentioned they don't like ORMs. I also don't like ORMs.

he is dreaming of prediction markets, lol
not only dreaming, currently working on one!
"simple bets" would just be buying shares at 50 sats each (which expire at 100 sats if you win). So both sides bet the same amount.
But there are probably better solutions to "simple bets" than delphi.market
edit: lol, this is a good image to test our image proxy quality

I am so excited about delphi.market, I think I am setting myself up for disappointment when no one uses it, lol
But slow and steady wins the race :)
