@prologic Nothing yet, I have it set up for solo mining, so if it finds something - then I get full reward.
Someone with a bitaxe found a block last week, all though it's very unlikely. But there is still a chance.

Great to have you back, @off_grid_living! It's always a treat to watch your garden and build projects. Maybe you can work on getting the pictures a bit sharper. :-)

I'm wondering, what's the reason behind the carpet for the chickens? To help with cleanup?

Wheat just tastes good. I'm a sucker for bread. But not limited to wheat only, the majority sure is, though.

With the summer on full blast here, it's funny to read about frost. I'd immediately trade your weather. :-D
Heyho @falsifian, I don't either. :-)
Whoo @off_grid_living is back! 🥳

Anyone recommend a domain registrar, that's only a domain registrar and nothing else? I'm not interesting in Email Hosting, Web Hosting, Parking, or whatever other silly nonsense. Just domain registration, delegation and renewal.

What a week of doing nothing. Next week is going to be mental whiplash as I try to get back into the swing of things in the middle of August.
@falsifian by the way, on the last Saturday of every month, we generally hold a online video call/social meet up, where we just get together and talk about stuff if, you're interested in joining us this month.

At this point I'm thinking of migrating away from OnlyDomains and choosing a different registrar. If OnlyDomains can't even do something as simple as maintain their own fucking domain name, how am I supposed to trust them as a service/registrar of my domains?! 🤔 -- Not only that, but recently they've put all their domain prices up too on a bunch of TLD(s).

@bender That ain't the half of it. The worst part is, they (support) don't give a crap, seem to be poorly trained in "incident management" and you can't even tell anyone at the company about this (that cares) 🤦‍♂️

Not only that, but how embarrassing is it for a domain registrar to not be able to get domain management right? Support tell me things like:

> We only have onlydomains.com we don't use onlydomains.com.au

To which I reply:

> No, you are wrong. I've been a very long-term customer and your portal has always been available on both domains. You don't know your own company's history.

Also tweaked the settings of my Bitaxe bitcoin miner, it was running a bit unstable, tweaked some settings and now it finally runs like it should.

@stigatle Is saving the password a good idea security-wise? Or do you save/load it from the user's password manager using an API to do so? 🤔

Fixed a thing in the flutter client tonight, it now stores the username \\ password and server url.. Which is a nice feature, no need to copy\\paste anymore to log in.

Does anyone care about the 140-char limit recommended by the #twtxt spec? I have been trying to respect it but wonder if it's wasted effort.

@mckinley Indeed. 🤔 I guess that might put an end to AVM’s struggle regarding their http://fritz.box default URL: That should get you to the web admin of your home router, but a while ago someone actually registered fritz.box on the public internet. 😂
