> anyway, good time to buy Yessir! In my experience flipping enterprise hardware, there is usually something specific that happens upstream that causes such a sharp and fast drop in prices like that. Usually the launch of a new product, or some large data center was auctioned off and the parts flood the market.

Im seeing like last years prices on ebay right now. Even unixsurplus has a bunch of affordable gpu options again. They have a 24gb T40 for $1357... I might have to snag it.

And absolutely whiz money away. I've seen some people throw hundreds of dollars at Claude for a weekend project so scrap it because it becomes unsustainable after enough features are added.

What's dis? Did this just come out like this past week?

I mean between like July 20th and now XD Older Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta arch gpus are literally half of what they cost 2 weeks ago. 2 weeks XD

:'(

Thank you I haven't seen that option, it was really hard to tell what's "official/reference".

Also the only electrum server implementation that's had developer activity that I've found/saved was electrs. That said, also requires _another_ copy of the blockchain :/

Okay so older GPU pricing just nearly cut in half from 2 weeks ago? What happened? Tesla m40 24gb were going for >$300 and p40s were almost $500 for 24gb models. I was begging a guy to sell me his m40s for $180 and it was a deal. Anyway tesla p40s are around $200-$250 magically now... Gonna have to check out the volta cards now

I guess I'm still stuck on use what I have though, like scanutxoset still works...

For me, I still enjoy getting my hands dirty. Let me share a story: Last week vnlib got a big feature update. A single feature (zstd response compression) and it wasn't really my hand that wrote the code that added the feature. The feature was a single C file. The next almost 2 weeks were just review, bug fixing, and build script refactoring, docs, etc. I realized the fun part was writing that feature, like 300 lines of code, could have been done in a day instead of 10 seconds, and it wouldn't have slowed anything else down. While it's helping me though the other processes _a lot_. I let it do the easy part, the fun part, and it can't help me do the hard boring part of software. I believe this is a fact as it exists now and I think many people are coping. Still super useful and a productivity boost, but lets be real with whats sustainable.

#asknostr Jumble is showing that I have muted 15 users. I ran a query against my signed notes (on my signer), and I don't think I've ever signed an event to mute users. I have never knowingly muted any users.

Should I publicly host older (potentially i) versions of nostr web clients? Like versions that work better, before regression?

So us-west (Seattle) is still up, so I added another regional load balancer, so I'm operational again. Learned my lesson I suppose, I don't host anything too critical, but it's hurting my uptime. It's cheap enough so there is no excuse. Another win for self hosting on-prem though.

I think it may be beneficial to invest in another regional load balancer, maybe this it the time XD.

Must be very lucky! They're saying all regions are affected with connectivity issues. The funny thing is, I can access the web terminal and my metrics, everything running, network just went dark XD

GM. RIP Linode/Akamai right now. Anyone else affected? Apparently this is global according to their issues board, however my region is affected by a power outage and cooling issue. That said, anyone wanting to download/access my software/websites, all of my services are down until I can route through another cloud service. https://status.linode.com/incidents/6yw88b0ft94g

Same here, and I think most bitcoiners not drinking the cope agree it's not good unless you have a ton of time, patience, and a few m sats (which could be like $2000-5000 now) just as a minimum.

Must be a transplant XD
