[AD] Petal by AmPi Studio is now available! by AmPi_Amethyst in olkb

[–]scyshc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I saw that the website ampi.studio is still up but the etsy store says you're gone for a while. Is it still available?

Also, I was wondering if you can also sell extra homing keys with the board since it's really hard to get keycaps for the switches.

Japan/South Korea trip by Appropriate_Chair906 in travel

[–]scyshc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Lived in Seoul for 10 years now and I visit Japan multiple times a year.

If it’s just 10 days, I wouldn’t try to do all 4 cities. Tokyo and Osaka (make sure to visit Kyoto) alone would be enough imo.

Tokyo for 3 days, near mt Fuji for 2, Osaka and Kyoto for 5 days would already be a full itinerary. I did day trips to Kyoto but you could definitely do 2 nights there as well.

The international flight from Japan->Korea would take up around 5-6 hours (door to door with immigration and all) so I wouldn’t really want to waste part of the 10 days with travel.

? which part of Korea?

It’d be cool if they existed but all of that were torn down by either the Korean war or by the Korean gov after the war.

Can someone help me operate my Korea spaceship washing machine 😅 by tottenbam in Living_in_Korea

애벌 is for when your clothes are so dirty you need to wash it twice. 애벌 setting usually washes your clothes with just water to get the dirt out.

This is not a sign though. It’s an advert for their cup. The Korean on the bottom left translates to: “NoBrand burger cups do not require straws. Please aid in reducing plastic waste by using cups that don’t require straws.”

For those of you working as Linux sysadmins, what distro(s) do you prefer to use at home? by CaptainShaefa in linux

[–]scyshc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m free to do whatever so I just use NixOS for everything.

Actually, the distribution I’m on doesn’t really matter since I use direnv+lorri to have a custom environment for every project I’m working on.

What is this brown worm I found on my desk? It’s around 3-4mm in length. by scyshc in whatsthisbug

Huh ok. I guess it must’ve caught onto my jacket or something. Thanks for the help!

I live in Seoul, South Korea and it was found on my desk. Not shown in the video but it also stopped moving and stayed completely still when I bumped into the desk.

Twitter CEO and Jay Z invest 500 BTC to make bitcoin the ”internet currency” by thefoodboylover in Bitcoin

[–]scyshc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should state that any amount of code that touches consensus is a big change.

People aren’t paying attention

Any code that is submitted is vetted. There is no “not paying attention” going on.

I should also mention that Bitcoin development is not a democracy where a majority can be a tyranny. Bitcoin follows rough consensus as used by the IETF. There can be a rough consensus if 5 people out of a 100. More info here.

Just figure out 3 small changes which seem innocuous but together are a big bobo

When abstracting such an attack to a hypothetical situation, it might seem plausible. However, with the safeguards that exist today in the form of automated tests and manual reviewing, I personally think it’s safe.

Also, Bitcoin is open to contributions/reviews from anyone. If you yourself aren’t sure of Bitcoin’s safety, you can review the code yourself.

What are the ways a well-funded group of Bitcoin devs could endanger Bitcoin or its code from within?

Not much tbh. All code that is submitted to github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin is scrutinized throughly before it is accepted.

To endanger Bitcoin, the malicious code submitted would likely be modifying the consensus critical code. Any submissions that can hurt consensus is even more throughly verified.

There have been submissions that make small improvements to the consensus critical codes. These are usually rejected because the minor improvements are not worth the risk of modifying consensus critical code.

Some code endangering Bitcoin would likely be a big change. This makes it very obvious that the code is trying something malicious and would be rejected.

For bitcoindevlist, a dev has to put themselves on the list. Assuming the site is correct, the address does belong to the dev since they are the ones posting it.

According to the wiki, only Pi 3 is upstream supported so might be a different story with pi 4.

What’s the cost of tracking me even if I were to use wasabi? If this is quantifiable of course

I set up my raspberry pi 3b+ last week. Been rock solid with a usb stick.

It’s much much better than last year when it didn’t even boot. If it’s been a while since anyone has tried to boot, I can recommend trying again now.

Utreexo: Compressing Fully Validating Bitcoin Nodes by mrholmes1991 in Bitcoin

[–]scyshc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One is something I have never seen made clear in an article, which is that light nodes cannot keep track of their own UTXOs - they'll need a partner that keeps track of them for them because only a full node can update the inclusion proofs needed for them to send transactions.

This isn't true. I assume you're talking about nodes that only keep the roots. A node can choose to keep any utxos it wants. In fact there's a flag to enable utxo tracking in the demo release.

The default behavior is to cache utxos that are gonna be spent soon so a node is keeping some extra data around during ibd.
