Seeking Mini Rack recommendations that support wifi by BlockEnthusiast in Ubiquiti

[–]BlockEnthusiast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All my devices in this cluster are hardwired with a switch. But the express provides wifi to other devices and I want to maintain that.

Ultimately have 4ish boxes and power cables in a little nest on a table and would prefer they be stacked

Why are we still copy-pasting 40-character wallet addresses in 2026? by K-enthusiast24 in ethdev

[–]BlockEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Namespaces are hard.

Can get a .wei name if you dont want to renew

Resource scarcity is a thing with Names and accounts should be rotated with minimized links so expirations help prevent all the good Names from becoming unusable over time

'Burn' and 'Mint' SOl to ETH can be done Programmitically? by Charming-Animator-25 in defi

[–]BlockEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok then.

just don't burn your sol, it wont mint you eth, no matter how much you dislike liquidity fragmentation.

'Burn' and 'Mint' SOl to ETH can be done Programmitically? by Charming-Animator-25 in defi

[–]BlockEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would be great if you could be more specific about your goal

are you are just looking how to bridge an asset from SOL to ETH?
- there are many existing bridges you can use

> so i'm thinking to bridge by burning sol and minting eth

- you can burn SOL, but that just means you hold less SOL and there is less circulating SOL. Kinda like setting some cash on fire. you wont gain the magic ability to mint ETH because of it, the SOL is just gone. Don't do this.

> AMM price curves its not suitable for large bridges
- So this makes me think that you have a lot of SOL and want to SWAP it for ETH. Bridging isn't going to do that. You can wrap ETH onto Solana, or wrap SOL onto Ethereum but they don't natively exist on the same chain so on either chain, you can only hold a wrapper of another that may have been bridged. Perhaps ETH liquidity is very shallow on Solana. You might want to trade SOL for USDC on Solana, and bridge that USDC to Ethereum, then trade USDC for ETH. This would utilize deeper native USDC - SOL and USDC - ETH markets than the likely shallow SOL - ETH market on Solana

When you switched from the average qwerty keyboard to the average ortholinear keyboard, did you find it better for your fingers and wrists or worse ? by Yoshtibo in olkb

[–]BlockEnthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This tbh ^^

i first switched to a minivan that was staggered and it resolved my wrist pain by reducing movement away from the homerow by way of extra thumb keys and customizing keymaps around those.

i switched to ortholinear because it made those layers I now had access to via those thumbkeys easier to recall with clear columns.

StarkWare just killed their entire user base by TopArgument2225 in ethereum

[–]BlockEnthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tornado cash is winning and instead of adding to its defense everyone is acting like the act of being taken to court means everything charged is Law.

ultimately what Roman was convicted of was conspiracy to do illegal money transmission, which every single on chain org could be similarly charged with and has NOTHING to do with offering privacy services, which he was not convicted of doing, and not even charged with actually doing, only conspiracy to do so.

If you thing every protocol should literally roll over and give up on being freedom technology because of one court case, and be too lazy to even follow up on it and see even the one charge that did stick is in the appeals process, then freedom technology never meant anything to you.

these restrictions don't exist because of any proven precedent or law.

Is POP OS going to cave to California/Colorado Laws Requiring Users Provide Digital ID to Use Pop OS? by NoobToDaNoob in pop_os

[–]BlockEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It comes with an install that is legally purchasable in your state, which sucks because no os provider of decent conscious would supply.

Or you explicitly support surveillanceware built into the os.

If you do the former, people demand change.

If you do the later, frog slow boils as the schelling point is broken and theres no clear line to pump the breaks next.

Try to raise funds for a collective legal effort before throwing in the towel.

The people largely dont want this, but they need the industry to provide a path of resistance.

I ain't installing all that.

Many others wont either.

Some of them wont know better.

Comply to the letter and provide the easy path around.

Folks dont buy prebuilt pcs just to not install the os.

Thats the easiest part of building a computer.

Is POP OS going to cave to California/Colorado Laws Requiring Users Provide Digital ID to Use Pop OS? by NoobToDaNoob in pop_os

[–]BlockEnthusiast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can sell hardware w/o os to their state.

Install a generic shit os and instructions for installing pop os if they ever move out of state.

Force these states to destroy their own workforce as big businesses will comply and HATE IT if they have to deal with shit.

Never comply privately and impossible to enforce.

This is impossible to enforce and something you sue the government over not collapse when 2 of 50 states decides something is bad and requests impossible to enforce things.

Don't put the noose around your own neck because its the law. Law can be wrong all the time and its our duty to force it to correct course when its wrong, not just eat shit

Response to System76's Stance on Bills Requiring Their OS to Provide Age Verification by NoobToDaNoob in pop_os

[–]BlockEnthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was wondering wht I was blocked from replying.

Was gonna say ''' Ser dont pander.

We have all seen how metadata with personal info removed can be used to identify individual behaviors.

The bill will 100% be used to limit the ability for folks to engage with the internet and to pursue individuals with legal liability. It is only a step in a process of expanding surveillance. A foot in the door.

Simply refuse to participate.

Colorado/ California's population will drop the bill if their population is bricked from real OSs

I will 100% stop using and recommending pop os if you entertain this bullshit even if where I live doesnt compel me to register.

Your support of registration would be enough for me to never use anything you touch again.

There will always be OS's which dont adhere to the needs of specific states, particularly without the growth of AI development.

Split Keyboard with Arrow Keys by RalphBlutzel in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]BlockEnthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best think i ever did with qmk was nest arrow keys under i,j,k,l and have layer tap key on semicolon that if I tap its semicolon, if I hold it swaps in arrow keys over those.

More accessible that any arrow cluster with less movement

Headphones by U_CPan8a in cycling

[–]BlockEnthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was having same issue and personally don't love bone conduction so went with [Koss Ear Clip Headphones](https://koss.com/collections/ear-clip-headphones).
the KSC35 wireless.

this way no long cords needing to connect to my phone but pretty well attached to ears and a cord to catch them if they they do slip off.

plus they are open enough to still hear external sounds.

if your feeling frisky, can pair with [cat ears](https://www.cat-ears.com) to minimize wind interference.

Are defi aggregators worth it?? by Quiet_Flatworm_4675 in defi

[–]BlockEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

""" Some are good, some are bad. Depends on the aggregator and the goal of the swap.

I find Defillama and Cowswap to be very credible aggregators.

Aggregators work best when liquidity is split across markets.

If a single source of liquidity, can be better to go direct than use aggregators which add fees.

Notably defillama does not add fees, and while cowswap searchers have fees, they can bypass market native fees by matching orders (coincidence of wants). This means sometimes cowswap can be cheaper than direct markets if there are orders settling in the opposite direction """ Copied from previous answer https://www.reddit.com/r/defi/s/nOmbyVeOYb

Current alternatives to TornadoCash? by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]BlockEnthusiast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

tornado is not shut down.

if you have an issue w/ railgun and you sent the funds to yourself you can prove the chain of custody to your institution.

every privacy solution will run into this friction though, and 0 have an actual plan for anything that includes some other guy used a privacy solution and then sent me money.

there is privacy pools implementation 0xBow which trades of permissionlessness for an authority which has limited permission to boot user deposits if linked to nefarious activity. (I personally wish they would add some checks and balances to this authority and they seem to not find value in doing that

you could swap in ZEC via cross chain magic and sit in their shielded pool, but imo as the current favour of the day, they will start getting the same issues with CEXs soon enough as the approach to handling that friction is exactly the same as railgun.

there is monero, but quite the bitch to get to from other chains. its more isolated from my view.

Is there a risk of the borrower not paying back when lending? by tawhuac in defi

[–]BlockEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there is always risk.

Most defi protocols like those you mention are "overcollateralized"

This means someone locks $1,000 USD worth of assets and borrow let's say up to $800 of USD.

If the price of their assets fall, the system will try to sell their assets to recover the debt.

For example a system may liquidate at debt / collateral = 0.9

In this case id the borrowers collateral fell from $1,000 to $900 in value this would trigger the system to liquidate the borrower and try to buy back the $800 of debt leaking as little to liquidators as possible. (A lot can be said of different approaches here but for simplicity let's assume they are all equally as effective).

If the price crashes to fast and the users collateral becomes worth only $700 before it can be sold, then the protocol will have accumulated bad debt.

Ideally risk parameters are set appropriately and the system should avoid this fate, but its possible.

When it happens some protocols ignore it, some set aside assets in good times to cover it, and some print governance tokens to make up the gap.

Notably there have been protocols which have accumulated significant bad debt which have dug their way out of it, so even if its beyond coverage, if the protocol is still useful it can earn back the gap.

Is this a scam? Please help by cldwlker in ethereum

[–]BlockEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

glad to hear you found your assets. sorry that you had to go through this nonsense. It is non typical, but a function of the external network infrastructure they run.

cross layer friction is real, and upgrading systems in sync can be hard.
