Anyone able to lend a hand on getting my Umbrel up and running again? Raised a thread on their community page, seeing a conflict with docker.

reply

Maybe try docker network rm umbrel_main_network. Docker usually recreates networks if they don't exist.

No guarantees though, run on your own risk, lol

reply

Thanks for the suggestion.

Turns out removing the env file and reconfiguring Umbrel helped overcome all the kinks and blockers I was seeing.

Grilled delicious ribeyes from K&C Cattle via Beef Initiative for the family last night. They produce the best steaks I've ever had.

George hid some fun stuff in the story. Most people don't get it. I have many stories of people not getting it.

The thing people don't get about movies is that when done well they can communicate ideas in ways that sneak past our prejudices. Star Wars is a story about the evils of centralized power. The problems with rebellions and how they usually recreate what they claim to want to destroy.

Here's my latest cross post.

reply

Not much to tell. It posts as a long form note type (forget the type number). I'm not sure how many clients support it but I'm using habla.news. I hadn't looked at habla in a while. Very cool client. Supports drafts which was kinda surprising to me but I'm guessing it posts to a private relay. Nostr has so much potential. Bullish on the protocol. Its more than a Twitter replacement.

No the other way around.

  • You add your pubkey to SN settings.
  • Change your settings to cross post
  • Post a discussion on SN
  • SN will ask your browser extension perm to cross post. Alby or nost2x for example
  • You post on SN is published to the relays as long form content.
reply

From the settings page.

  • crosspost discussions to nostr
  • requires NIP-07 extension for signing
  • we use your NIP-05 relays if set
  • otherwise we default to these relays:
    • wss://nostrue.com/
    • wss://relay.damus.io/
    • wss://relay.nostr.band/
    • wss://relay.snort.social/

After nothing but zap rewards in October, it's been nothing but post rewards in November.

Is there any chance the random number generator is picking one value for each month, instead of each day?

reply
182 sats \ 3 replies \ @ek 3 Nov 2023

No, it's definitely flipping a coin every day:

const heads = Math.random() < 0.5
// if this category is selected, double its proportion
// if it isn't select, zero its proportion
const itemRewardMult = heads ? 0 : 2.0
const upvoteRewardMult = heads ? 2.0 : 0
reply

Odd coincidence then

reply
182 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 3 Nov 2023

Yes, or there is indeed something wrong with the RNG. Reusing seed or something? But no idea how that could happen. It's not even possible to seed the RNG ourselves.

reply

I didn't immediately see in the code why the monthly hypothesis was ruled out, but I'm guessing it's run daily and that's why it should be different everyday.

I think those seeds are sometimes generated from the computer's clock, so my last grasp at vindication is that maybe it's pulling the month for the seed, rather than the milliseconds.

reply

I was going to ask if there's software / a service that makes it easy-ish to set something up where people can email you or send you a message somehow but only if they send you sats over and above some reserve price.

But then I thought: maybe that could be an aspect of the DM feature on SN? People can only DM you if they zap a certain amounts of sats? Not that I'd want to turn that on in SN for my actual self, but it does seem a useful use case to solve somehow, esp going forward.

@k00b and @ekzyis, thoughts?

Any help appreciated :)

reply

Living near New York City I have been inundated with Hamilton propaganda for years. I have loathed Hamilton the historical figure for most of my adult life. I have been offered tickets and I repeatedly refuse to go. I know I'm a conspiracy theorist at heart anyway, but I believe the creation and success of the musical was no accident. Making this destructive asshole a hero really irks me.
So, I applaud your efforts. I must say I can't help, since I don't know any of the songs.
P.S. Burr- now there's a hero.

My wife's away, so double the chores. Did anyone here ever pull a hamstring? I had no idea how much it hurts.

reply

I have. It almost ended my pickup basketball career.

Ouch. Yes and yes it does. There is a significant strength imbalance between quads and hamstrings, add in being male and over the age of 21 and regularly use chairs and it makes them very prone to injury…. Rest & ice. Stretching done the line.

reply

I was trying to reposition an outdoor table umbrella that got knocked over in the wind. I didn't account for the large cement base! Very dumb. I actually felt something give way, and then the pain. I have been hobbling around for days, looking older than I actually am.

reply

I think that is technically a sports injury… usually take 5 days to start to heal but could be weeks to properly repair.

(And just to add the legal; am a sports therapist by training but I am not your sports therapist. Do not take this as medical advice and you should always consult your doctor etc etc.)

reply

Thanks. I shall not take anything you utter as medical advice, just musings of a friend. Sounds about right. It's feeling better finally after four or five days. When a member of a pro sports team I root for gets this injury I always assume they're dogging it. Not anymore.

reply

Dogging it…. Lol. Haven’t heard that term in a while.just be careful and get help moving heavy furniture as the cost of injury is annoyance and inconvenience if not worse.

reply

Showing my age. I should stop using that expression. Dogs are better than people.

reply

Whilst being better than people looks good for the dog, it’s not when you consider some people set a very low bar….

Also this AI stuff blows my mind

reply

I'm glad you see the positives. I love AI because it does make my work life and side hustles much easier. I know there's some drawbacks but I'm loving the progress being made in this space.

reply

It's extremely useful for my work.

I have a background in physics but my day-to-day is in software these days. I know just enough to be dangerous, but I'm first to admit that I'm no expert and have no formal training. I am no software engineer. What's worse is that I'm part of a small start-up company and I'm the only person who has any coding experience whatsoever.

ChatGPT is extraordinarily useful for filling the gaps in my knowledge. For example, just now I wanted to explore introducing some module testing into my code. I gave ChatGPT a snippet of what I've been working on, and asked it how I might go about developing some tests. Bam! 5 seconds later it gives me something to work with. That would have taken like 30 minutes if I put it together from Google searches etc.

reply

That's really amazing! The possibilities are really endless with AI. I saw someone used AI to improve the dialogue of NPCs in the Unreal Engine 5.2 Matrix Demo. People are discovering so many use cases for these tools. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3QoL98oMZI&ab_channel=SmartPoly
