This is what the UK spyware proposal means.

There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of.

When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime).

The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion.

Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies.

Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly.

The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject.

The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices.

We moved 300TB+ of Solana archive data from ClickHouse to RocksDB

Everyone's first reaction: "Why would you ever do that?"

Because it halved our storage and made our slowest queries ~10x faster

Solana has outgrown its initial read layer

So, we rebuilt it

just woke up and seeing a fair bit of fake info

- first, there is no *known* exploit. the possibility of a bug has always existed, so there is no new information. what's happened is a highly advanced zcash expert spent a lot of resources trying to find bugs and *patched* one. that's all the information that's new: that a bug was patched.

- again, all signs show no exploit but you can not 100% guarantee this until the next network upgrade, which core devs are working on right now. Eta soon.

- you can NOT have infinite total ZEC supply EVEN if this bug was exploited.

What would instead happen is that the single orchard pool would be insolvent assuming no social recovery. Now for all purposes, that would still be catastrophic but very different than people implying you can just bridge out infinite amounts (you cant)

So tl dr - you cant have infinite supply bridging out, that's not possible. you CAN have a case where ppl in the shielded pool get insolvent if and only if the bug was exploited. my money is on the bug not being exploited but to prove this for everyone, the next upgrade will help you verify it yourself

[Techster | helius.dev @Techster]

You're telling me there was an infinite print bug in $ZEC for 4 years, and *checks notes* it made local highs in the opposite direction of the market?

That means either the bug was not exploited or the exploiter is sophisticated enough to not nuke the chart over a long period of time.

Either way, amount of $ZEC I've sold in this panic remains 0.

Now you can do even deeper sleuthing
