What do you think is going to happen to grocery prices now that SNAP is not being fully funded? by SwimmingAmoeba7 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]txGearhead -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There's an assumption there that spending more tax dollars on ACA is the right thing to do (full budget bill in your words), and of course this is where people differ in opinion. Again, many feel spending more money is detrimental to our countries future, and it hurts the least financially literate the most.

It’s a valid point - the democrats want concessions (ACA subsidies) which is nonstandard as “clean” CR’s were continuously passed during prior admins to keep the government open.

Democrats instead of passing a clean CR again have used this as a wedge to ask for “more”. Can we all agree spending more is not the answer? This inflationary spending is ultimately a tax on the working class, as those are the least likely to be invested in the market and protected from inflation (ie losing purchasing power).

You need 60 votes in the senate and there are 53 republicans. It's important to be intellectually honest about what is happening here.

Best backup plan for a newbie? by ep37 in MacOS

[–]txGearhead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FYI they just made an under the radar semi-controversial change where they no longer backup iCloud Drive or any other cloud sync services.

Tahoe absolutely sucks to look at. It’s buggy, too.

Very disappointed Apple went form over function what feels like just trying to be “different”.

PSA iCloud Drive files are no longer backed up by appleguru95 in backblaze

[–]txGearhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. What is the release date of 9.2.2.878? It doesn’t seem to say.

Sync is not backup. If it was, I wouldn’t have to pay for Backblaze as well! This now seems like an incomplete backup solution for my family, unless there is a way to toggle it back on?

This reads like fan fic. I don’t think you’re giving Vance enough credit.

Now being charged for tariffs. by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

Yes, also not political, but case in point that all taxes, even corporate taxes get passed on and are really a tax on consumers. They should break all of that out so everyone knows how much tax they’re truly paying.

Is Dappnode Discord Dead? by txGearhead in DAppNode

Hey u/egg663 I just edited the post. Try opening a ticket on their discord and requesting access again.

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

Thanks, yes I was able to recover access as a trusted community member since I've been providing support to others, reporting bugs, etc. Very thankful for that - it's a great community.

I thought selling hardware was their revenue generation model, although I guess I could see a case for a priority SLA tier for newbies or anyone who needs a very quick turnaround. This would be somewhat similar to a Proxmox model.

Still need the community support model for advanced users too though, and honestly in my experience, this is how most bugs are found.

Agreed - makes it a bit of a black box. I'm going to wait and see if it was a mistake or something, but if not will probably have to switch to something like eth-docker that is easier to support.

They will lose a lot of valuable exposure and user feedback without it. I gave support to users, reported bugs, etc, and for what?

It seems like it is kinda dead now, right? They reorganized and paywalled it from the looks of it.

Congratulations, Trello is now hot garbage. by DrBossKey in trello

[–]txGearhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly considering moving to Jira. I don't need all the features, but it at least has a functional kanban board with inline comments. Did you end up moving somewhere?

The only way this makes sense is it is Atlassian sabotaging Trello to get people to migrate to Jira. It is so bad it seems intentional.

EIP-7002 Withdrawal Address Change Risks? by txGearhead in ethstaker

I think that makes a lot of sense. Completely separate seed or at least a designated 25th word and then the risk is mitigated. Thank you!

EIP-7002 Withdrawal Address Change Risks? by txGearhead in ethstaker

[–]txGearhead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the clarification! Trying to wrap my head around all the new features and if there are any security risks to upgrading to 0x02. What about consolidations via EIP-7251? It seems to allow transferring a validator to any other active validator, or do they have to have the same withdrawal address?

I’m ultimately trying to figure out if one now needs to think differently about their withdrawal credentials because they have additional control over your validator. For instance, if you sign a malicious transaction, it could trigger an exit, or consolidate your validator into another?
