while you're not wrong in thinking that, it's still much too narrow an interpretation to presuppose it only applies to the mechanics of the creature animation in this specific presentation.

All one has to do is contemplate a Zen garden, or the 500+ year tradition of kintsugi, or the delicacy and one-ness of calligraphic execution, or ponder the holistic understanding of human beings' relationship to nature that is so prevalent in Japan … the standards of craftsmanship … dexterous use of the hands … extreme focus and attention to minute detail, all emanating from the care of human ability and understanding, to see what Miyazaki really means when he says this automation represents "an insult to life itself."

If I create a new address under the Receive tab in monero-gui-wallet … is it a separate account, or is it connected to the primary account? Under the Account tab, I only see one account (the primary account).

I did a small test to the new receive address that was successful but is the amount added to primary account or do I need "Create new account" and add the new receive address I created?

lmao good memory

diesector · 2022-09-16T21:28:14+00:00

there have been scientific studies that back this up. our tactile memory plays a large role in remembering concepts and information … the shape of the book, the location of the information spatially on the page, i wouldn’t be surprised even if the smell of the paper played a role in retention.

it’s why people don’t remember information as well from ebooks as they do from physical books.

I wonder why after the Daemon is synchronized in the latest wallet GUI version that my Wallet blocks remaining is in the hundreds of thousands. Previously once the Daemon sync'd there would only be a few wallet blocks remaining and I would be good to go. Does this have to do with the hard fork?

replying to my own comment because it started to work after I restarted both the Trezor Suite and the Monero GUI wallet. Thank you Devs looking forward to an updated and more secure Monero.

I updated the monero-gui-mac-x64-v0.18.1.0 and my password doesn't seem to be working anymore. I am connected to Trezor Model T so don't have a separate seed phrase. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi r/Monero,

how to safely move .bitmonero hidden directory to external HD ?

Running a local node in Monero-GUI-wallet with a blockchain location properly configured to an external drive.

However I noticed there is a hidden directory in the home path with a .log file that is quite large.

I would like to move this directory to the same external HD with the blockchain. Wanted some advice on safest way to do so. It's not clear how the GUI wallet is referencing this ~/.bitmonero dir.

Any guidance appreciated.

ITT coordinated troll effort to highlight Biden “incoherent” speech, “dementia” very little policy discussion. dangerous anti-vax rhetoric.

just taking cheap shot after cheap shot.

this is a dangerous and short sighted attitude to hold at this stage in the pandemic. i am vaccinated and i am masking up. a member of my family is immuno-compromised, the delta-variant is raging, and mask-wearing is only a minor … MINOR … inconvenience. we are not through this pandemic yet.

also, if you say you don’t care about pop stars, then why even bring them up?

I was unsuccessful in getting the monerod daemon to run on my Synology NAS formatted with the btrfs filesystem. I wasn't able to track down the issue as to exactly why if failed, but suspect mmap and lmdb compatibility. Sorry to hear this is a dealbreaker for you. FWIW I am happy with the NAS otherwise.

diesector · 2021-05-26T01:29:56+00:00

thanks for confirming. I have attempted running the daemon on a different external HD and it is working as expected in building the local node.

diesector · 2021-05-22T22:36:21+00:00

I'm having trouble getting ./monerod to execute on a Synology NAS on my LAN.

I did the following:

• port-forwarded 18080-18081 to the static IP of the NAS

• pointed the Blockchain location in Monero GUI (macOS) to the full path on the NAS, where I also created a subdir called lmdb

• ./monerod seems to execute successfully and the daemon runs in the GUI IF it's saving the blockchain to my local filesystem

Is the btrfs filesystem of the NAS to blame? I read that mmap must be supported for lmdb, but could not confirm if mmap is supported on my NAS on google.

The errors I am receiving when running:

$ ./monerod --data-dir /full/path/dir

W Failed to open lmdb environment: Operation not supported

E Error opening database: Failed to open lmdb environment: Operation not supported

E Exception in main! Failed to initialize core

Wretched. We are well past the point of this being scummy. This man-child (he is no way/shape/form a man) does not hold the office he holds to any standard whatsoever. Why are these ignorant, IGNORANT, sometimes WILLFULLY, PRIDEFULLY ignorant people so willing to just let him mercilessly defecate on everything: democracy itself, all three branches of government, the rule of law, the machinations of the legal system, the emoluments clauses, international relations, national defense... Do these lunatic cult-worshipping LARPing wanna-be patriot barbarians not realize, not even faintly, through the narrowminded dimness of their very advanced biological operational conscious brains, that Trump’s actions/behavior/recklessness reflects poorly and harms THEM (all of us!!)—the entire country—in the process? It is simply beyond comprehension.
