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!
Couple wine glasses deep, time to read through today’s roundtable
Lots of spicy @anon activity in the last hour

I’ve gotten an invoice thanking me for implementing invoice comments. But I still don’t know who it’s from. LUD-18 coming soon™️ to help fix this! In the meantime, you can include some kind of sign-off in your comment to identify yourself if you like
Thank you anonymous donor!

MASSIVE CAPSLOCK PROPS TO @weareallsatoshi for implementing zap splits and automatic thread subscriptions ... It made roundtables possible!
Woo hoo!!
Thanks @deepologic for the sweet new avatar. Perhaps they should start a sidehustle making art for people on SN!
You're welcome, that's a good idea. Get in touch and who's interested ;)
How should we get in touch?

Nice!
Have we seen any clients implement NIP-72 - Moderated Communities yet?

Noice!
If you want to be a founder but don't know what to build, consider starting an agency because people will pay you and give you ideas. I've heard many success stories of agency agents turning into successful founders. It's probably way less painful than the alternative too.

I don’t, but afaik it’s all about getting your first client and from that your next clients and so on building a reputation.
Messing around with the 3d printer again. Not sure if its just me, but I love working on something new, getting distracted and doing somthing else, and then coming back to it with fresh eyes. I'll probably print out a small chess set, a bag clip, and some gardening stuff for the wife...among other things.
This weekend should be fun,
I’m just not sure I have the patience for 3d printers. And ‘fear of failed prints’ could become a thing for me I suspect.
Understandable. I'm having alot of fun with it though, If i didnt find it interesting or enjoyable, it would be a complete waste of time.
Muting @saloon does not hide the saloon from my feed
Do you want to mute it? Should be a simple fix
Getting ready for the weekend and catching up on my Bitcoin education! Gonna hit the podcasts hard on the drive. Oh and daily DCA to cold storage!
Don't want to repost the thing but curious to know what anyone working in security thinks about this post:
#269758
Posted here a few hours ago from Mastodon, it's about a widespread hack affecting Microsoft products and Github
We should all be moving off GH and onto Radicle.xyz the moment MS bought Github.
the shitcoin fund 3ac guy got arrested lmao
come on over to the roundtable for some high-signal bitcoin discussions
#269878
I really enjoyed reading through this!
Reading and zapping ser
STACKERS ASSEMBLE AT THE ROUND TABLE
https://imgprxy.stacker.news/CFhjDTkDkg8n5mPXtsCacUG13Fls0Rnzpy0TkN640Uc/rs:fit:600:500:0/g:no/aHR0cHM6Ly9pLmltZ2ZsaXAuY29tLzd6eG1uYy5qcGc
Roundtable feature enhancements thread. Going to write things as they come to me.
Some assorted thoughts from someone who couldn't be there until it was over:
Would love to talk about these ideas more if anyone cares.
The primitive might be allowing people to create
listsof content kind of like pinterest boards or video playlists.Anyone can create one. It's just a matter of forwarding sats to the roundtable participants. We don't give ourselves any special tools usually because we would prefer to not be In the Way.
Perhaps lists is the answer. (How did you make that text red?) In my mind I'm thinking a bit of a mid-level structure note that people could compose like legos.
Some people who are really expert Twitter threaders wind up doing this, which is impressive given that Twitter is pretty much the shittiest possible interface for such a thing. But life finds a way.
Surround the text in backticks.
I'm still a total noob with this information mapping stuff, but composable/recursive is usually the thing that lets life find a way.
I believe when you first joined you mentioned your interest in information mapping (or maybe I'm misremembering). Is there any single greatest book on the subject?
You remember correctly. I can only think of one book on the subject that I like, which is this one, but it is good. The best content tends to be not-books, which I guess isn't surprising. The site I linked to above is a treasure for that stuff. Maggie Appleton writes some very approachable things -- here's an example.
Another way to get an intuition is to Fuck Around And Find Out. The two best tools for this are probably Obsidian and Logseq. I've used both, but I mostly use this stupid thing I made myself that has accrued like geological time, hacked together out of emacs org mode and elisp. Org-roam is a more sensible variant of that approach that I keep intending to try, except my investment in my own arcane tool is so high.
I wonder if you could do something like "temporary ranking" for stuff like this? E.g., not sure what SN ranking the guests have, but, for the purposes of that thread, they should be the kings and queens of it. Which could be an interesting construct in other ways, maybe.
good idea. this reminds me of youtube where you can set a premiere time for a video, and your subscribers can see the countdown along with the thumbnail on their feed and can even leave a comment
That's what I was thinking of
100 https://imgprxy.stacker.news/fU8f3O3JM5OERbAy-6qpfXWrQ8DMEqYclxvQH2cIBmY/rs:fit:600:500:0/g:no/aHR0cHM6Ly9pLnBvc3RpbWcuY2MvNTJaeDlQYkcvZGFydGgtY2F0LmpwZw
Hmm it appears my notifications got even slower after last night’s update. That extra filter for mutes must be slowing things down
Mutes table indexed properly? I haven’t looked at the code closely
Yep compound index on the two fields filtered on.
I have A LOT of items relative to other folks so I'm probably pretty sensitive to these slow downs, but with the way the notification query is structured - every item driven query needs to do this mute anti join ... so one option is to just rewrite the notifications query to not need to do that but it's sensitive to changes because all columns need to match.
I'll take a look a the query analyzer. It might be choosing some obviously wrong query plan.
Speaking of notifications: Sometimes my check box goes back to the default (unchecked) after a few days. I'm not sure if it's a bug or if it's just my phone.
If you're on iOS, it's probably this issue that we're still tracking
Are you on iOS? This happens to me to on iOS. We've been attempting to diagnose but nothing yet.
cc @ekzyis another one
I'm using an Android phone.
aha so not just iOS! thanks!
Oh, interesting
Ah, replied while I didn't see your reply yet haha
If you take all sides of an issue, you'll always be able to claim you were right at some point.
You're wrong k00b. You're right k00b. 😉
Mornin stackers!
Afternoon sir.
Howdy gang!!! Friday is here my friends and the weekend is about to setoff, this was a challenging week indeed, having a cold and teaching is absolutely brutal but managed to survive the week and all is good, payday today as well so time to do some DCA and hodl, rest and recover my health this weekend, perhaps I'll pamper myself with some homemade chicken soup and noodles, grandma's version, hope it works out. I wish you all a phenomenal weekend and may it be filled with love and joy, also may your endeavors be fruitful and successful, remember my friend, that you are important and you matter, thank you for everything and thank you for being, you're awesome!!! Be well and stay frosty gang!!
Will do Coach, the motivation is much appreciated
You are the awesome one!
I'm glad you survived the week brother. Use the weekend to recharge your batteries. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't pop into the saloon to have a whisky ;)
I love me some chicken soup noodles. Please share some pics when possible.
Was so looking forward to this weekend because I thought I would finish accumulating the 29+k sats that is necessary to buy my preferred gift card from Bitrefill
Bloody hell. I just realised that it charges a 3k network fee. Not daunted but bummed that my goal this weekend can’t be achieved
How do you guys cope with using sats amidst such high network fees?
They charge that for Lightning deposits?
Yes apparently!
But somehow the network fee doesn’t apply when I choose a smaller ($6) UberEats-style food voucher. It’s so strange!
Channel opening fees?
A few more @nemo inspired blasts and you're there
That's sad buddy. I know you've been looking forward to buying the gift card. I try to stay away from projects that charges high network fees. I can't be wasting my sats on fees. They are too precious to me.
I agree with you. Unfortunately I’m a parent with negligible me time, so I cannot patronize those restaurant that are listed on the btcmap.org website. Giving local merchants my sats is what I hope to eventually do
I completely understand. You should have enough by tomorrow morning. Just have faith and everything else will fall into place.
Haha I’m okay! Just zapping people away. I don’t want to turn into some Scrooge haha
I'm glad. What's the gift you're planning on buying, if you don't mind me asking?
A supermarket voucher. Haha. What can I say? I have two young children.
Also I have a digital bank account with my supermarket and if I make five purchases in a month, I will qualify for a higher interest rate tier. So that voucher will definitely contribute towards my goal.

Just answered his interesting question! Thanks for pointing me there
Its raining again. My dog won't walk when it's coming down really hard. She'd rather hold it. I'm experiencing a Darth like frustration.
My dog's the same and she also won't go for a walk when it's hot. My daughter, on the other hand only wants to go out when the weather's fairly unpleasant.
Wait till she starts driving. My daughter is taking a two hour drive to visit her boyfriend later today. Her father will sit and worry.
Thankfully, I'm pretty far out from dealing with all that stuff. Hang in there.
We are starting to get warmer days this side of the world. Winter was hectic with lots of flooding. On the bright side, we had plenty of rain. I remember a few years back when Cape Town in the Western Cape was on the verge of running out of drinkable water. I've always been grateful for any rain we get after such a horrible experience.
Easy and slow to win!

Really good design today!
Thx!
I think I say "these are getting better and better" every few days
but
these are getting better and better.
Thank you! It's already a pretty good collection of snails 😀
you made me remember that I really like pixel art
It pleases me
Bitcoin is from out of this world. I love this one!
Yes, he crossed the atmospheric boundary!
Let all your sats flow, like water to the river, to the bt-sea
Great one, well done
Ooooh. Love that bt-sea!
Thank you. Trying to use the form a little more.
ᕦ(ò_óˇ)Day 14 of exercising everyday before the saloon opens2 weeks! Some conclusions:
I woke up at 9AM, stayed in bed until 10AM, got up, noticed my body hurts from the workout yesterday and just went outside for some fresh air and sunshine.
Living the plant life
I'm loving the progress you're making. You started inspiring me to get off my ass and start stretching at least in the mornings. Get the blood circulating again ;)
Yeah, I think my initial idea was just to fix my sleeping schedule lol. Then I thought let's combine it with exercise!
But I want to get up as early as possible. My goal is something like 6AM. But need to do small steps as I noticed with my attempt to get up at 7:30AM a few days ago - again.
Mornings have a really nice feel. I am so much more productive in the morning. I just need to get up, lol
Well done. So good to see your health & fitness journey.

Random amount of sats between 1 - 10k for the stacker who can tell what this is:

The underside of a snail’s tail?
no but it's getting funnier
I have to admit it’s going to be tough to get any work done until we figure this out
Posted another clue
Clue:

I guess this doesn't help much, lol.
Will post the solution in the next saloon and start a new game. Need to go to the spot to take a better picture to proof what it is.
Solution
deleted by author
no but that would have been cool
Can’t go to bed until we figure this out…
Oh sorry, totally forgot about this and went to bed 9 hours ago, lol.
Will post conclusion now.Posted full picture now. I'll announce the solution in the next saloon in 3 hours
Is it a piece of coral?
What appears to be a white wooden window sill / or picture frame, is really throwing me off. It looks like the underside of an octopus arm, the belly of a starfish, or a dirty q-tip under high magnification.
In conclusion, it must be a piece of coral
Last guess. I think its a giant clam or a sea shell of some sort.
Snake mean Lmao.
deleted by author
Tuna or octopus meat
Bed fabric ? And its burning ??
Edit: Wait isnt it a bottom destroyed wall and the gas line is Shattered so someone start a fire in that gas to catch where its spreading ?
I can see that now, too, lol
But no, that's not it. Far from it
If you turn your head on the side, it sort of looks like a beach front (not my first guess, but "fish" is "warm" apparently)
Beach front is an even better guess than fish
It has to be a fish chilling on a beachfront sipping on a bloody marry?
deleted by author
I think that's the worst guess tbh so far, lol
Fish is still the thing most related
deleted by author
Fish?
No but it's warm (your guess)
A tropical fishtank heated by bitcoin miners?
no but lol
Looks a little like fresh squid to me ha
Very interesting guesses. But no.
To be honest, I was afraid it's too easy and someone would just reply instantly with the correct guess, lol
Crocodile meat?
Guess is getting colder
(is that a common or only German thing? To say if guesses are hot/cold?)
It’s an English thing too
Crab meat?
No and I realized I have no idea how crab meat looks like
I thought nothing like that, lol
Lol. Another clue please.
Btw. Hot/cold is a common game in my neck of the woods as well.
Lmao.
Day 167 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k.

👍
⚡️🐌⚡️
Happy Friday gentlemen and congrats on another great week of momentum
🫡
The snail has arrived…. Along with the weekend….
Hello __@_'-' Slow day it seems.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURGH.
__@_'-'
Hello sir.
Can you smell the sweet scent of Friday? https://imgprxy.stacker.news/B16TCuG3Rua04v1EJNT2M9-Se3S7EWHLyI1zhx-QhE0/rs:fit:600:500:0/g:no/aHR0cHM6Ly9sb2xhbGFtYmNob3BzLmNvbS93cC93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMy8wMS9TdGFyLVdhcnMtRnJpZGF5LU1lbWUuanBlZw
Hope not. I think I steeped in a Gary in the park.
Lol. What's a Gary?
A Gary … toxic, annoying, it stinks, needs other people to clear it up and falls out of a dogs arse.
A Gary! Is that genuine British slang for dog shit? If so I'm bringing it to NY
It’s more localised slang… after a disgraced UK pop star.
Dog truffles is another polite term.
I heard of a guy who grew up thinking dog mess was called ‘Mind’. Every time they were out walking his mum would point out dog sh1t and say ‘Mind!’
I think I'm changing my legal name to 'Dog truffles' Lmao.
'Don't be a Karen' is the female version. 'Don't be a Gary' should be the male version?
There is a restaurant chain in Australia called ‘Karen’s Diner’… service is notoriously bad
Lol. Must be a whole lot of Karen’s working there? Perhaps they'll start hiring some Gary's as well.
Gary sounds like a real douchebag Lol.
