Why a .5% rate cut is such a shock, what Bitcoiners should watch for next, and where to find the signal long-term. I also share my thoughts on Trump's DeFi token, project updates, and more.

Thank you for covering all the kernel stuff. I know it's a lot of work, but I love hearing it. That AMD regression in 7.2 would affect me since that's what my desktop runs, so I'll keep an ear open for the fix

Another question: as a member who also boosts, do you prefer having income from memberful or as boosts? Say for example I wanted to increase my financial contribution to JB. Is the membership or boosts more effective/easier for you guys to take in?

Show production question for ya: What part of Jb's operations takes the most of your time? What takes the most energy? What is the highest cost? As a member, I want to help offset that some, especially if it is something that I could either help support with time or by helping automate or maintaining some of the infrastructure, etc

Fidgets are a big part of my life, mostly because when you have a 3d printer, you can make your own. I've made probably around 20 infinity cubes for people and then 2 for myself, 1 for work and 1 for home. Look up fidget on printables.com or thingiverse

Couldn't make it yesterday since the storms in my area knocked out the regions electricity. Thankfully I have a portable generator to keep water and fridge running. Maybe it's time to invest in a battery system with an inverter and a bigger generator to keep more of the home running

If family computer counts, the first computer I remember using and learning was a dell dimension 5000. Keep in mind I'm only only 10ish years older than your oldest... Sorry to make you feel old lol The first computer that was actually mine was a custom built machine centered around an A10-7890K because I was too poor for a dedicated video card at the time. This was during high school so what money I did get from the job I had was saved up and I later bought a 1050ti.

For the dumb time machine thought experiment I would back to the era of early steam locomotives so 1880s to early 1920s. I would love to be on a train crew and armed with my current knowledge of how to run one already, I probably wouldn't need to learn too much in terms of being an engineer or even a fireman. Plus it was the old west which is one of my favorite historical eras. Yeehaw pardners

Congratulations Alex for figuring out why in the business datacenter we have a few separate SANs, compute hosts and NAS boxes instead of one. All because the department of redundancy department exists. In my homelab, I have found that added complexity can make more headaches down the road when one box gets updated and that breaks a thing or you have to shut everything down because your NAS with all the data needs an update or whatever the case may be

'Orange people' are about to become the new 'colored people'. This reminds me of something I heard Russell Means say some years back: "Welcome to the Reservation, we are all Indians now."

So Chris, you're in a farm with a barn and a wide open area right? So when are you going to get a ham license? That kind of terrain is perfect to set up a dipole antenna... Well, maybe I'll just have to come out and make it happen. At this point you are 2 years overdue. I even waited a whole year after it was originally mentioned and STILL got both a technician and general license before you guys. Anyway, as we say in ham radio, 73

re: fusion power I'm not an expert, just someone who has been interested in nuclear physics and done some research, so if there's anyone out there in the audience who knows more, please correct me We're actually getting there. ITER is planned to be operational as the first power grid scale fusion power plant in France by 2037, japan has had a working fusion generating station since 2023 called JT-60. So for Helion to be making a much smaller scale fusion generator compared those those projects, I believe it. Smaller and more efficient stations might be the way to go for the future. Would make the power grid more resilient since if there are many smaller systems adding power to the grid, the chance of a chain blackout is less. Also fusion has minimal waste compared to fission. The fuel is deuterium which is Hydrogen with 1 proton and 1 neutron smashed into Tritium which is Hydrogen with 1 proton and 2 neutrons. The most waste producing part is creating the tritium since that involves lithium mining

I absolutely agree with you Brent. Why do I compromise experience and use Firefox? Because it is not chromium and I strongly dislike the mono browser culture we have. At first I was disgruntled with the changes Mozilla was making but I value rallying behind a different browser engine than chromium and if my anonymized data is what it takes to help offset the cost of making one, then I guess I will just have to live with it. Which is why I am watching Ladybird very closely and have seen decided to support them financially. Have fun at SCALE!

If I were Linus, I would change the version of the kernel to 7.0 and all subsequent kernels would be 7.X forever. Why? Because why not, I'm Linus. In all seriousness, I do not know enough to make a good decision regarding the direction the kernel should take or what adjustments to make. That is why I'm not Linus...

I'm jumping on the annual themes idea with you. At work, "optimize what we have to make the most of it". Outside of work, I think it will be "building for the future" meaning financially, relationships, knowledge and skills for self repair and maintenance, and other things of the like.

There might also be a lack of staffing angle on all this flock stuff. Police officers are in high demand, at least here in the midwest. Many people don't want to be police officers anymore because the media blasts them for anything they do. Now this might be just in my area but the small rural towns have been becoming increasingly bigger targets for crime by the big city gangs because they can get away with it and then disappear being way outside the jurisdiction of the rural towns
