PR closed again 😮‍💨 granted the majority of comments on this PR is useless drama so i can see why.

setting drama aside, i dont understand how CVE is being "abused" because the vulnerability is described clearly.. IMO the term "disputed" to describe this pull request is disingenuous and subjective -- clearly all checks surrounding "datacarrier" no longer does what it's supposed to without these changes

by closing this PR, this signals to me that Core contributors' continued lack of interest in addressing datacarrier is purely from laziness. it has been nearly a year without addressing the issue head-on.

personally ive applied these pull requests  to my nodes without any issues -- datacarrier behaves as expected.

 
 all i can/will do is give these contributors an earful in-person 

wont be the first time 😤 
 Minneapolis Fed President Neel Tushar Kashkari weighed in on Bitcoin, explaining that the asset has remained worthless after twelve years. 👀 


There's a Chinese saying from a parable where some dude knows of burried treasure/silver and sticks a flag on top of it to ward off thieves: "此地無銀三百兩" 🤭  (literal translation: there is no silver buried here). The parable is used to describe how the truth often reveals itself by those trying to bury it/misdirect. The phrase is often followed with "隔壁張三未曾偷" which another person places a flag next to it "and I, the neighbor didn't steal it 😏 . 
 Hitting up the Chinese buffet tonight. Bring on the MSG overload. 🔥🫡 
 nothing wrong with MSG

 im okay with this 🙋 id rewatch that one

empire is an incomplete movie (but decent)
return of the jedi had ewoks
revenge of the sith 💔😭NOOOOOOOO🤮

prequels are filled mitochrolian nonsense and would all be in the garbage if not for darth maul. A New Hope and Force Awakens might as well be the same movie, and the new movies make no sense.

.... or maybe it does because Star Wars was always a trainwreck when one removes the nostalgia.

 That's a fun connection he made, but unfortunately Bitcoin wasn't always orange ! The original logo was yellow/gold

the orange is much better 😏

 this typhoon just keeps hanging outside 🤨 looks like another day off for the island

 the island has the day off today, lets track the typhoon!

hacked together a small script to generate gifs off the central weather administration website

need to shrink down this 4MB GIF (source image is like ~70 files of  2000 x 2000 😱) 
 the central weather administration website is an interesting resource during typhoon days. 

the UI is rough around the edges but the content is great!

Keeping tabs on Typhoon Krathon, looks like it'll be a rough one as it'll pass through the entire length of the island

 lol, i just ran into this. i have an old intel (braswell) device on my network running debian and after an update after a year of uptime my sound suddenly crapped out because pipewire didnt recognize my output interface anymore. couldnt figure out why, i had to bypass pipewire entirely to get it working again

why cant computers just behave 😮‍💨

 hodling only gets harder I think as the costs of mistakes get exponentially higher. 

a few cycles ago one sends funds to the wrong address (user error, scam/shitcoining, lost keys, etc) one could fix that mistake relatively easy in terms of cost of energy/time.

Make the same mistake a few cycles out and one is never going to be able to be made "whole".

the "goal" may seem straightforward but evidently there's many paths to veer someone off course.

I don't think hodling is easy at all, it just appears that way

 what does that even mean? 😅

she going to use executive orders to support open source development or something? 
 the reason is government and taxes

in many parts of the world, telcos are basically state operated as frequency bands are allocated by them, and getting vendors to cooperate with the carriers in the circus of interoperability tests not only controls the devices allowed to be sold to be on their network, but provides revenue. when the margin for devices were high, the carriers make revenue by limiting their network to only allow the devices with the highest margins to recoup the costs of licensing and infrastructure cost.

carrier-locks are like a tariff for radio bands: Want your device to come on my network? go to this office and pay a fee, go to that lab and pay a fee before dialing in. the consumer isnt doing that so the vendors do it, thats what carrier locks are

As the price of devices go down, the margin to be made is smaller so the carrier locks appear to make zero sense.

 I got project diablo 2 running on my Chromebook. kinda fun, impressed that people still working on it

not sure if I actually wanted to play the game or just wanted to make it work.   
 chromeos out-of-the-box includes a linux container (crostini) that is gpu-accelerated for the devices that have them (called Chromebook Plus these days, i think). the linux environment is pretty useful and performant but theres still retarded permission-related things about it (cant screen capture ChromeOS) and not all usb peripherals (i.e. camera or bluetooth) are available to the container. 

eventually I'll flash coreboot and go native linux when im tired of fighting it, wrestling with chromeos is my version of linux gaming 🤣🤣
