Review progress on the kernel API has stalled over the past month. Not sure what to do about that. Maybe there are just not enough people that care?

Cash on the internet.

Finally read his autobiography, a long read indeed. I was familiar with most of the events in the book, but all the politicking, descriptions of his leadership, and moral dilemmas he found himself in were fascinating. What took me aback was how true he stayed to his positions throughout his life. I don't think this was because the book tried to paint a coherent picture of his inner monologues over 50 years. Such a contrast is clear when he describes his impressions of society and his homes compared to how he remembers them. His vision always remained clearly communicated, even during the negotiations in the transition years. The book is accessible to any South African (and beyond) reader. He really was capable of communicating in a way that was not exclusionary of entire groups of peoples. The key thing for me during all his negotiations and organising was how he tried to include as many people as possible. He fought movements within the early ANC trying to make it a Xhosa only, or South African only, or black only organization. This was the true guiding thread in the book for me, a theme that carried over into prison quarrels, later covert negotiations, and the most dangerous portion of government talks in 1993.

It's not austerity, it's targeted government slashing.

Something must have gone really wrong.

Yes, been there since a long time, but it is becoming more pressing.

So I did a deep dive into assumeutxo the past two weeks and... well... the code is in a very rough state. I feel like if we really want to improve it, it is going to take a bunch of long, arduous refactors. Maybe it is just not worth it, and there are more important things to focus on, like splitting up cs_main.

Magically worked again for two days after rotating graphics cards,, just to crash at a very inopportune moment.

System is kernel panicking again, so I updated the bios again, but to no avail. Pretty puzzled at what might be wrong. Logs indicate another microcode problem, but also crashes as soon as it starts the display server.

I wonder if the 1 year disclosure cycles are the right approach here. Shouldn't updating lightning nodes be a fast thing, done routinely?

It is always a good idea to tell other people what to feel.
