holy shit, more than half of my seagoing former colleagues were just fired in the government staff cuts before going full-time in crypto, i was a marine chemist and i worked with the one of the longest-running publicly-available datasets in the world - the dataset has been going for over 75 years now. it provides an extremely valuable picture of the chemical, physical, and biological changes off the california coast whether the project survives this is in question. at minimum, we're going to have a really big gap in data that people rely on to predict weather patterns, keep fisheries operating, and generally provide readily-available data for thousands of scientists to make inferences that relate to their own research fun fact: regions like this are less than 1% of the physical space in the ocean but they produce 20% of the fish catch because of how productive they are. they're INCREDIBLY important to study and predict for being able to EAT FISH

Just realized @paragraph closed its Discord server. Had an open request from the beginning of December in there to change the /eth-staker blog posts to @ethstaker instead of attributing my personal profile. Can't change it myself

Guys, how are people in Boulder so amazing? It snowed a ton last night & there are men just jumping out of their trucks and shoveling sidewalks in front of houses they don't live in Not paid to, just helping out their neighborhood. I wish I had a shovel to join, someone just shoveled the sidewalk in front of my rental

my ~/Downloads folder has become the "I have no digital organizational skills" catch-all folder and it's a cry for help I distinctly remember in middle school / high school / early college being obsessive about file structure and organization. What the hell happened??

Gas limit increase has been a big CT topic the last few weeks & was discussed on today's ACD call w a proposal to raise the gossip limit 10 -> 15 MiB to accommodate a gas limit increase 🔳 Concern over differing client behaviors & abt pushing untested changes. Forks allow better coordination & fewer issues. Can be coordinated at the fork? 🔳 The testing that ensured 6/9 blobs are safe should be redone if gas / gossip limits changed before the fork. Puts some strain on testing team bandwidth 🔳 A reason to wait for Pectra is EIP-7623, which increases calldata costs. Could reduce potential strain on the network, making a gas limit change safer 🔳 Pectra is the best place to make changes for a # of reasons but devs are not fully in control of this, so the gas limit should be watched closely 🔳 Some advocacy that if an increase needs to happen before Pectra, 36 mil would be the target as it stays below critical limits See here for good nuance: https://x.com/nero_eth/status/1867158840715993549
