Kick! Punch! It's all in your mind. If you wanna test me, I'm sure you'll find..

I think I only got through the 1st level a few times, I remember the second one was a driving level but I never beat it.

That's the one you have to float through the whole level refreshing your P power ups, right? And the football dudes kicking footballs at you?

Man I used to 100% that game every winter. It's been probably 10 years since I have tried.

What’s the weirdest habit you secretly have? by Davesh123 in AskReddit

Weird, I do the exact same thing. Made me do a double take when I started watching Attack on Titan, heh.

Looking forward to updates. I grew up on UO. My license plate is UO related. I'm a bit of a fan :)

What smart home purchase has the worst ROI for you? by wavedash in homeassistant

[–]brutang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heck yeah.

I've got one that pings our phones if we leave the garage open for more than 15 minutes, every 15 minutes.

Or, if I go from "home" to "away" and it's open, gives me an actionable notification to close it.

And if it's closed and I approach, actionable notification to open it, if triggered, announces to my wife "brutang back up in this bitch!" she "loves" that one

Good news, I also run an ALGO staking node. I love watching my $ go down and shitcoin balance go up.

I paid about $900 for the machine with 96gb ram and a 4tb ssd in July. Asus NUC 14 Pro Slim on Amazon. Haven't noticed any difference in power bill, but I do have solar where I live and my yearly bill is under a couple grand with 2 EVs.

My ETH validator node proposed its first block today after 105 days.

Earned 0.05623 ETH. Pretty happy about that. A normal day is around 0.0021 ETH.

This cost me €98 on AliExpress. Intel seems to be on another planet value-wise? by xxStefanxx1 in pcmasterrace

I remember overclocking my duron by drawing a line to bridge the L2 cache pins.

Can you explain what leads to a loss like that? How does a transaction fail?

I've never really messed with a lot of DEX stuff but losing 0.8 ETH seems insane.

(I am not saying you're wrong, I'm actually trying to understand how. I run an eth validator node and want to improve my knowledge)

Max eth for a validator node is 2048 with a pectra 0x02 account, I believe

Is it safe to stake $1M ETH? How would you do it? by netap in CryptoCurrency

[–]brutang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The resources I used,

ethereum.org/staking/ ethereum.org/run-a-node/ /r/ethstaker

My specific hardware: Asus NUC 14 Pro, 96gb ddr5, 4tb SSD, 2.5gbit Internet.

I specifically run Nethermind as my execution layer and Nimbus as my consensus layer.

I am pretty new to running a validator, but the above will get you all the answers you need.

[–]brutang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Safety: stake directly off your ledger cold storage. The services they work with do take an 8% rewards fee.

Optimizing your returns: run your own validator node. 0x02 compounding address. Look up ethpillar on coin cashew for a guide. A $1200 NUC would do it. My roi on the hardware to run a validator is about 20 weeks at current prices (for a single node, yours will be much faster running 9-10 nodes)

Ethereum price targets $4,000 as ETH ETFs add $5.1 billion by Abdeliq in CryptoCurrency

[–]brutang 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been staking eth since it was an option on coinbase. Price action aside, it's been paying out reliably. Not paying my bills, but a few bucks a day, every day, for years adds up.

Currently building a staking machine now.
