Here is episode 1 of The Burks: https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmQu4djagHH2jP1dn58c88s1ceNbTxLyBDK3YhBqyxM88D
Early 80s stuff, pre Simpsons. I'm recycling it for the paper. I'm into papermaking and this was printed on good stock. Plus, it's a meaningful way to dispose of it.

I first read that as, "That's IPAs on steroids," and I was going to ask which brewery!

You can also check out https://tw.forumosa.com/. It's gone downhill a bit imo, but you can still find some useful info there.

I'm in Japan at the moment, but southern and eastern Taiwan are the areas I'm most familiar with. Taipei not so much. Wherever you are, try the street food. If you make it to Kaohsiung, Pingtung, or Taitung Counties, then I can make some recommendations.

I match your pelicans and raise you a gecko.

I do but I rarely sign in. I saw your Steemit link on your profile.

I love it! And it popped right up. I think that's a good use of ipfs - straight link to static file without using ipns. I haven't played around with pinning(?) to files yet but I'll give it a try with this one after work. Cool!

Wow @fausto, I had a look at some of your photography. Outstanding. Very moving stuff.

That's why it's special. Special color, special price. I'll wait for the Hello Kitty model.

Just to clarify my comments, traveling sucks, so any way I can use crypto to make it better is good! Are you focusing on traveling for pleasure or just traveling? I'm interested in learning more about how I can use crypto for both, but I do the latter more frequently.

This sounds great, as long as I can find out how to spend crypto where I am rather than going to some place because I can spend crypto there. Like so many other people, I travel all the time now and have no one home. So LiveOnCrypto would be more useful.

I love this picture. Is that fern on bark? It doesn't matter. Great shot.

Yes, this is my favorite too. "Walk into the light..."

How about a haiku -

Centralization
Thought control infestation
Must apply Peepeth

Beautiful day in Japan today. Saturday it was 1C, today mid 20's. What a difference!

That leaf looks a lot like kratom. But then a lot of things do, especially when you live in a country where it's unavailable.

Excellent read. Thanks for sharing. And sometimes, good things come from bad. A friend met his future wife while in the hospital after a nasty bike accident. I had to travel when I really didn't want to. While abroad, I got into BTC to buy something in 3rd country. That was 2015.

Ha! Don't worry. I've clearly already had mine and it's relatively painless!

Shigako I just noticed you tipped me! I'm speechless! That's the first tip I've ever gotten anywhere. (I was a dishwasher in high school, not a server. Nobody tips dishwashers.)

Yes, that's a crappy picture of the SF skyline back in the day, a scan of a damaged negative.
As I play around with ipfs, I can see how it's more suitable for some uses and less for others. I've been reading about other systems as well such as MaidSafe https://maidsafe.

Spambage .... I like that! I'll try to avoid it by any name.

Here's something worth sharing, an study that correlates earlier retirement age with greater longevity. It's not a new study, but I just learned of it.

This is right, right? - https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipns/QmNR3iA7aBn5RKWocHnh1EvLr26bE24FHfEgbwDgMr9aZD/. So interesting. I was a server admin in a previous Web 1.0 life, so this is down my alley. Guess I've had my head in the sand for the last couple (20?) of years!

Yeah, I'm working on that now. I think I published the link that won't update properly. Still learning! I need to figure out how to use IPNS, the name system. It actually looks simpler than Apache in some ways, but that's apples and oranges. Very different way of doing things!

@Shigako - Thank you! My Monday is getting better. Just needed a bit of tea. Learning IPFS. Fascinating! My first page on IPFS: https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmY5tZtyefeTF5ayrAHqRhLNZ1ig9jKZrBFhU6XktCmtLg. And I'm getting into this all due to Peepeth. Thanks Peepeth!

Got it, thanks.

Happy Monday morning to those of you in the Far East. And it sure does feel like a Monday morning. I've got that Monday morning brain fog going on. A brain cloud. I need to go find a volcano to jump into. (Reference to Joe Vs. The Volcano.)

I'm guessing the manifestations of supply-chain implementations of this technology are really hard to predict. It's going to affect the entire credit industry, hence rates, currency markets, jobs... If blockchain and crypto displace traditional credit, watch out.

You import the private key once. Toshi remembers and does not even require a password, while metamask requires a password when starting the browser. I've had multiple mobile devices and computers with the same wallet open at once with no problem. Hope that helps!

I love it. Can I move there when I retire? The thing about #hemp is that it is so hardy, it grows everywhere. I'm glad to see humanity re embracing this ancient, enormously beneficial plant. It's about time. It could solve many problems.

#peepeth with #toshi on #android and #metamask on #linux

Please note I'm taking this initiative for the good of the community. It will happen.

I think I need to take the initiative and post the first sparbage. Granted @blainejohnson did post a Hello World, but that doesn't qualify because it's a recognized test phrase. So, here you go:

Phhhhhhhhhhht

This is just garbage, not sparbage, (spam+garbage), but it's a start.

Ahh! Of course. Silly me.

A land grab for token names? Interesting, if that's what you mean, like the grab for domain names. Could this 'grab for tokens' be an Achilles' heel of Ethereum?

Update: It's working now and I have no idea why. I checked Fedora, and it opened with a password only, and after that it worked on Mint. Doesn't make any sense to me at all, but there you go. Problem may not be solved, but it's fixed!

Good advice, especially in my case!

Same results with Brave. Very odd. It doesn't show any transaction history, but it works fine and I can view the history on Etherscan. I'll work on it.

Thanks. Good to know. I'll work on it.

Yeah I had a feeling it wasn't by design. It's happening on both Firefox and Chrome. Odd. Latest Linux Mint. Fresh install of Chrome too so default settings intact. Imported phrase to Toshi and it works fine, no need to re-enter phrase.

Metamask question. Is there a way to set it so I don't have to enter 12-word phrase every time I open the browser on my desktop? I realize there's a security tradeoff but I keep very little money in the wallet.

An example of why moving towards decentralization is good, "Google confused? Here's how Google is changing your back-up and music offerings" http://url.cailab.net/6k. I don't want Google determining my music offerings or backup.

Agreed. I pay yearly for Email, storage, and hosting. Perhaps some day we'll see ETH-based solutions for these services allowing for #micropayments and decentralization.

I agree, at least ideally. But in reality, this space will have all the sparbage of Twitter etc. The difference to me is not impermanence vs permanence, it's centralization vs decentralization.

@snowcrawl Thanks for the Enso! What is Enso?

I don't even bring it up anymore in 'mixed company'. I was having dinner with a bunch of doctors a few months ago, brought up OMG and its adoption by McDonalds(?) in Thailand, and a couple of them giggled. OMG, McDonalds, I admit it sounds funny.

But here's the difference. Back in the 70's when I was that age, I at least had the option of learning Fortran. I was more interested in smoking pot and getting laid, but at least I had the option. Schools now don't touch this tech because it's associated with BTC.

A couple days ago I asked a bunch of 16 year olds if they'd ever heard the term 'blockchain' before. None of them had. They had heard of Bitcoin, of course. It's too bad. They should be learning about this technology now.

Got it, thanks.

I'm assuming pictures push it up a bit, is that right? I realize they use IPFS but assume they still affect cost.

No kidding! My first full batch cost me a whopping $0.15. Sweet!

I really just want to get to 15 unsaved actions to see how the 'Save to blockchain' goes and at the same time post a picture. This is a very old picture taken on Guam.
