Running FIPS! now I can ssh into a dev system at home even though it's stuck with a private IPv4 address behind my stupid ISPs NAT.

With FIPS I'm able to assign my home server a self generated npub and talk to it from anywhere. This is how the internet is meant to be, peer to peer, private and permissionless.

Sorry

for abusing your FIPS test net for my personal VPN. But I hope my background traffic helps somehow with your performance testing. I'm not seeing any noticeable latency running multiple shells and editors over my ssh tunnel between the office and home.

Love what you're building with

!

The Westwood neighborhood, home of UCLA, used to be a high rent retail and entertainment destination. Today it was deserted and looking pretty scruffy.

I'd much rather have my tax dollars go to a program like this than to the US war and buracracy machine.

Anyone know why the FRED removed savings deposits from their M2 stats. in May 2020? Right before that change it looks like M2 as going vertical. Is there any way to compare what current M2 would be like with/without this change?

Nashville.

Which city will be the #bitcoin accepting capital of the world? It's up to you ladies and gentlemen!

For all you future bitcoin billionaires (in fiat), CA is giving you a taste of things to come. And for everyone else don’t forget the income-tax was originally only for “millionaires”.
