** Neon **
I was bemoaning the lack of color at my desk and a friend sent me this link to a place that makes custom neon signs. I am likely much to indecisive, and faaaar too cheap to actually order one, but I keep having intrusive thoughts about what I’d get if I were to get one.

I think the Yiddish phrase“zol er krenken un gedenken” would be funny. It means“let him suffer and remember” which is very melodramatic, but totally rife with so much meaning. ⌘ Read more

Huh. I had long forgotten about text fragment URLs. Seems relevant for linking to discussions around linking to individual twtxt posts. https://alfy.blog/2024/10/19/linking-directly-to-web-page-content.html

[ANN] FCMP++ Hard Fork Planning: Discussion Welcomed

Discussion welcomed for discussion of possible future rule to take place upon FCMP++ hard fork activation. This rule would retroactively ignore the unlock_time field of transactions past some future block height. This would make the migration to FCMP++ tree building easier.

There’s this rumor that you can create a WhatsApp account with a burner phone, then link the phone to a browser on your desktop PC (web.whatsapp.com) and never have to use the phone again. This just doesn’t work. Every ~2 weeks, the session in the browser will time out and you have to re-link again. 🙄

[LFF] Monero meetup group in Barcelona (Spain)

Hello I am running the Monero meetup group in Barcelona (Spain) and looking for support to organize a in-person event before end of the year. The idea is to spread the word in the city about XMR what it is and why privacy is important. I am aiming for a more social networking environment to gather privacy enthusiasts but open to sugestions. I would like to ask here if you guys could help with some funds to rent a space if needed.
