Technologist, radar engineer, data scientist, physicist... In short, jack-of-all-trades, master of none; often better than the master of one. #OpenScience #OpenSource Most importantly #Muslim

Anyway... Looking for a new job, hoping it's less agonizing, and dreaming of owning my own fiat mine in which no one can tell me what to do, and hoping one day of not needing a fiat mine to begin with.

My fiat mine has become such a weight on my shoulders. I joined in January. Four months later, I realize that its projects are going nowhere. Especially that the whole mandate is to amalgamate many different projects that already exist in the organization. The amount of politics that my superiors have to play just to intergrate one project is beyond anything I've seen. Every other department only pretends to help, but don't want to lose control over their projects.

The only political leverage the department has it is funded and has the backing of the head of the organization. Not little, but only goes so long.

I was asked to join due to my technical experience in deep technologies that the department is supposed to integrate around. Turns out, I'm just another pair of hands and eyes to check through the checklists and support with "technical arguments" of how things should be done, without any real influence on anything. Needless to say, the job description I received and the interviews I had with them was in a completely different direction.

In short, I became a paper-pusher of sorts. This makes me just leave engineering behind and go open a restaurant somewhere. I don't want to deal with technology no more.

On the spiritual agony of useless jobs...

والله نفسي بافكر في الشي دا.. اللي عندهم فلوس ما يهمهم... زي اي مكان في العالم... واللي ما عندوش ما يلزموش زي أي مكان في العالم..

نبقى في الطبقة الوسطى.. أظن هنا نقسمها بحسب البلد.

مثلا الخليجيين اللي في الطبقة الوسطى عندهم أكسس على كثير أشياء تخليهم ما يلتفتوا للبتكوين.. يعني مجرد ما تعرف انهم يقدروا يشتروا أسهم ولا عقارات ولا ذهب.. بعدين تقول له بتكوين.. فينه؟ أمسكه بيدي... فينه؟ 😂

بس... البقية ما افتي لأني ما ادري كيف اوضاعهم ✌🏼

Eh... They won't go away, they're still in the lead. The decentralization ethos is way more important than one team.

Still moving to knots. And when a 3rd node software that can deliver the promises I'm looking for, I will move there too. All in the name of decentralization.

Oh wait.. You're an actual Knicks fan. I thought wou were just anti-Celtics like all of us. 😂

I set up my miners to Ocean, with data free ports.

It's not much, buts an honest day's work.

Next move my node to bitcoin knots. If any of you have a good raspberry pi tutorial I'd appreciate it. #AskNostr

Following, apply datum block builders.

Unconfirmed Report. Chinese intelligence report 🇨🇳 on the ouster of Syrian President 🇸🇾 Bashar al-Assad (and the dismantling of Syria).

● A report published by Chinese intelligence reveals controversial details regarding the change of power in Syria to Abu Mohammed Al-Jolani.

● The report confirms that what happened was the result of internal betrayal by senior Syrian army officials, bribed with Qatari money, who played a key role in implementing a complex international and regional plan.

● According to the report, on the night Aleppo fell, officers of the Syrian army's central command committed a serious crime of treason by isolating Iranian consultant commander Bur Hashmi (aka "Hajj Hashim") in a conference room.

● After isolating the Iranian commander, these officers directly contacted the Israeli Mossad, paving the way for the Free Sham Front to advance and occupy the city in just 45 minutes without any resistance.

● The spread of betrayal.

This betrayal was not limited to Aleppo; other Syrian cities were similarly surrendered. Syrian officials also sent false coordinates to Hezbollah, which trapped it and led to the destruction of a convoy of 100 vehicles belonging to Hezbollah following Israeli strikes.

● Concurrent with this event, the US Air Force targeted Iraqi Popular Militia forces near the Syrian border, in coordination with Israeli operations.

● Deceiving Bashar al-Assad.

• Despite Iranian warnings, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad remained unaware of the extent of the betrayal within his army. He was receiving false reports from his close agents, who kept him isolated and ignorant of the situation on the ground.

• As losses mounted, President Assad began to doubt the loyalty of his superiors. According to the report, the final plan was to hand him over directly to the Al-Nusrah Front (the mock Liberation Authority). Aware of the imminent danger, President Bashar al-Assad sought direct assistance from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

• The report indicates that this operation was planned and executed in coordination with several international intelligence agencies: the British intelligence service (MI6) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, the Israeli Mossad 🇮🇱, and the CIA🇺🇸, under the direct supervision of Turkish President 🇹🇷 Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

● The coming days could reveal more details about this complex process, which combined internal betrayals and international collusion to reshape the Syrian landscape according to the agendas of major regional powers, the Chinese report indicates.

Sources, please.

Never do technical shit when you're tired...

I just checked the format partition box for /home when I was reinstalling Mint.

Now I have to reinstall everything. I'm just glad nothing important is in the machine.

I could buy a whole box of mangos for 10% of that 😂

Lol.. Right.. Trust them at your own risk..

If nothing comes out of the OP_Return drama thing other than diversifying the node code distribution, then it's a win.

After some reading, I don't thing it's a fully fledged war, and I don't think a real fork will come out of it. That's because neither side is actually changing any consensus rules.

Correct me if in wrong, but I think both sides have a valid argument. It's just a matter of technical practicality.

For me, I choose the strictly monetary transaction sides because I don't any goos reason to have anything else on the chain. Therefore, I'm switching my node (bitcoineCore 24) to Bitcoin Knots (pending further research).

Having said that, anyone that wants to pay their hard earned btc to fill a block with spam or any other useless shit, that's up to them. Pay market rate or more. They'll be able to anyway as no one can stop that regardless of the distribution of positions on this debate.

Maybe on the long run this will increase the average fee cost, but for now it's a free market.

Is this a fairly neutral position, not really. Again, I choose to have strictly monetary transactions on my node. I'm just saying, as far as I have researched, I won't be able to stop data-centric transactions.
