i believe the data center produces its own power via natural gas turbines independent of the grid by using a natural gas pipeline.
data centers recycle water. cool water in hot water out
40,000 acres sounds like a lot but that's probably a phased buildout over 20 years
the data center hatred is the same as the factory hatred and power plant hatred that led to power production, manufacturing etc going over seas.

china gets their oil from iran, so let's bomb iran and take our their cheap supply!
now we just need to use up our reserves to keep prices low.
that will teach the chinese not to use yuan to buy oil!

go find a used system76 linux desktop - well made hardware install claude code and talk to claude and have it teach you how to use "goose" not claude and how to automate llm queries and build little tools that help your life. don't even bother with openclaw- total time sink.

for a long time i ran parmanode as a easy way to get electrs, core and mempool running on a linux desktop but was so put off by all of the nonsense messages in that software
then using claude code terminal I did a seamless compile and configuration of core with electrs and mempool with a custom dashboard to see status and connection urls took less then 1 hr
claude code makes linux user friendly

THREE DUMB ROUTERS TOPOLOGY
(Y-Configuration for Network Isolation)
INTERNET
|
|
[ROOT ROUTER]
192.168.0.1
(No WiFi, No devices)
|
+-----------------+-----------------+
| |
LAN Port 1 LAN Port 2
| |
| |
[WAN Port] [WAN Port]
[SECURE ROUTER] [IoT ROUTER]
192.168.1.1 192.168.2.1
NAT Enabled NAT Enabled

+------+------+ +-------+-------+

[PC-1] [PC-2] [Minecraft] [Smart Bulb]
192.168.1.10 192.168.1.11 192.168.2.10 192.168.2.11
KEY DETAILS:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Root Router (The "Stem" of the Y)
├── WAN: Connected to Modem/Internet
├── LAN IP: 192.168.0.1 (or any base subnet)
├── DHCP: Can be disabled or only serve the two routers
└── IMPORTANT: No devices should connect directly here (no WiFi)
Secure Router (Left Branch)
├── WAN: Connected to Root Router LAN (gets IP like 192.168.0.2)
├── LAN IP: 192.168.1.1 (Different subnet!)
├── DHCP: Enabled (192.168.1.100-200)
└── Devices: PCs, Laptops, Phones, NAS (Your trusted devices)
IoT/Insecure Router (Right Branch)
├── WAN: Connected to Root Router LAN (gets IP like 192.168.0.3)
├── LAN IP: 192.168.2.1 (Different subnet!)
├── DHCP: Enabled (192.168.2.100-200)
└── Devices: Minecraft server, Smart home devices, Untrusted IoT
ISOLATION MECHANISM:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Traffic Flow:
• Secure PC → Secure Router → Root Router → Internet ✓
• IoT Device → IoT Router → Root Router → Internet ✓
• Secure PC → IoT Router → BLOCKED (Different subnet, behind NAT)
• IoT Device → Secure Router → BLOCKED (ARP broadcasts don't cross routers)
Why This Works:
1. Routers block Ethernet broadcasts (ARP cannot traverse)
2. Each network is its own "broadcast domain"
3. Double NAT prevents IP scanning between networks
4. Compromised IoT device cannot use traceroute to find Secure network
(Only sees: IoT Router → Root Router → Internet)
Configuration Checklist:
□ All three routers have different LAN subnets (e.g., 0.x, 1.x, 2.x)
□ Secondary routers connect via WAN ports (not LAN ports)
□ No "Bridge Mode" or "Access Point Mode" on secondary routers
□ Root router ideally has WiFi disabled (or use as guest network only)
□ UPnP disabled on Root Router (prevents IoT from opening ports inward)

unknown. but if it is compromised it will be trivial to run a packet sniffer and report back all local unencrypted traffic and target local devices based on published exploits, so just keep it segregated

you don't want your local clawbot to see your local network with all your other computers and your home router but you do want your clawbot to have access to the internet

2026-02-15 12:34:06 GMT

simple way to isolate your clawbot that you host at home:
1. buy a glinet gateway
2. plug wan into local network
3. plug clawbot box into lan on glinet gateway
3. on glinet gateway, enable tailscale
4. disable local network access on glinet
via tailscale menu on glinet:
5. enable alternative route to 192.168.8.1
6. on other computer connect to tailscale via tailscale app
7. navigate to ip of the clawbot box via ip (192.168.8.xxx)

In deuterium-tritium fusion, high-energy neutrons drive "multiplication" reactions to close the fuel cycle by producing the tritium needed to sustain operation. Making use of those neutrons to drive a multiplication reaction on mercury-198, our approach produces mercury-197 which then decays in a few days to the only stable isotope of gold.

right now the FED issues the federal reserve note and it circulates as paper currency.
each bank has their own ledger currency that is supported by federal reserve "bank" reserves + other assets
we are witnessing the treasury directly attack the fed and use stable coins as a new "treasury bill backed" currency.
this will be a slow grind but an end to bank reserves and federal reserve notes.

In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.”

yeah the engineering mindset of logic and measured results is the greatest training. some get it by studying logic and philosophy or a biological science but it is lost in most degrees that just teach a set of rules and don't ask why the rules exist

2025-12-28 11:59:33 GMT

i still tell nieces and nephews who are smart to get an engineering degree so they have a base in first principle thinking founded on physics that doesn't change.
AI will be used in these jobs but won't take them away.
I tell the more physical minded relatives to join oil and gas companies laying pipe and working the fields in midland or get a master electrician cert so they can be a high earning tradesman.
AI isn't going to take physical jobs for a long time.
Most people with money struggles should excel in community college first before transitioning for the final two years in state school.
no one should start in a private school u less they are the most academically driven kid you have ever met. the risk isn't priced correctly.
took much doom about the future of AI. be smart and learn things that don't change that are based on physics.
