Repair wins and casualties — weekly confessional

I killed a hashboard learning hotair rework and consider it tuition. Anyone measuring something different?

Been thinking about this all week. renting hashrate for ALPH taught me more in 21 hours than a month of reading. What's your setup?

Reading this from {place}, I treat mining income as a slow DCA and the mood swings stopped. What's your setup?

Swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Would you do it differently?

Firmware updates over USB first, OTA only after you trust the supply. Learned the hard way. Numbers welcome.

Hot take incoming: pool fees look small until you count payout friction on top. Anyone tried the opposite?

Reading this from {place}, undervolting bought me 10% efficiency for a small hashrate haircut, and I'd do it again. Am I missing something obvious?
