Amusing that there's also 'srinkflation' happening with these GPUs as well as inflation on prices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tJpe3Dk7Ko

They're symbiotes with us. We optimised sight they did smell. We feed them in exchange for early warning against rival clans approaching.

Even low end gpus are expensive already at $1000 for the 5070 TI. $1.3k with tariffs.

2025-04-04 12:29:33

The RTX 5090 GPU astral is $3350 after tariffs you'll be looking at $4500. For just a graphics card that's insane. Feel bad for US #pcgamers

Small teddy bear shop got ram raided in Cheddar last week. £20k of #jellycat teddies stolen.
We're in wild times.

Good article. What are normie gold pundits saying about the gold movement?

I'm downloading misty #breeze adding to my collection of #reckless ln wallets. I like these new nodeless designs.

Is there some trick to setting a profile picture in #primal ? It always says "failed to upload image" for me.

Happens all the time. I reply "Sony stock has dropped so my TV doesn't work anymore".
The price doesn't affect people using it day to day.

Who's paying 477 sats a byte?

It's a tradeoff off, passphrases reduce redundancy. A 2of3 multi-sig scheme improves redundancy and security.
For contrast storing two copies of your seed improves redundancy at the cost of security.

Are there any good desktop clients for #nostr?

I'm amused by the idea that bitcoin treasury stocks are the new 'alt-season'. It totally fits. Companies are bandwaggoning and plebs are chucking in their money.

Everyone recommends passhrases which are as complicated if not more complicated than multi-sig. Passphrases cone with their own foot-gun problems.

Yes. You can create a multi sig wallet and play with it to understand it without needing to move all your savings there. You can decide whether it's useful after you've tried it.

Think of it like cash. When would you buy a small cheap safe? (Hardware wallet) When would you buy a heavy duty insured safe? When would you pay for a vault? (Multi sig)

SS + Passphrase is 2of2 multisig (very bad). It's also a foot gun.
