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

Posting this again - I think it's important that we retain "solo staker" as the definition of a node operator who validates without anything between them and the Beacon Chain contract. It is the most "solo" way of staking In contrast, "independent operators" can look like a lot of different things (DVT stakers, Lido CSM validators, Rocket Pool minipool operators, solo stakers using data centers). This is a big pool of tapped and untapped node operators and they're essential for decentralization "Independent operators" isn't as catchy but I think it's good to have strict definitions to work from, otherwise we end up getting lost in 'decentralization word salads' where everybody means something different

Temporarily unlocking the channel for everyone to be able to post because the process for joining channels still seems kind of unclear / difficult and it would be nice for new stakers to be able to post. There wasn't a lot of bot spam before, anyway. Preferences?

Boulder observations: 1. who needs a cowork when the public library looks the way it does and isn't restricted to residents?? 2. the social contract is alive and well in Boulder. people cross at crosswalks, drive the speed limit, bike in bike lanes, and smile at each other
