[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] #Henkate:
Hey Lucas and everyone else!

Thank you for asking! I'm still alive and I'm fine xD. It's just that I'm "XDA-ing" much less now and rarely, mostly because I'm not longer able to build (can't build for whyred) using GCP and neither Azure. I'm still checking Nova's forum when I'm opening XDA and i'm even checking it before whyred's one xD. I'm still missing y'all and probably I'll always miss you and Nova. Thank you for resurrecting this thread! :D I dunno why I haven't resurrected it myself earlier.

If someone looks at whyred's forum (Redmi Note 5 Pro), probably he'd be like "whoa, so much support", " whoa, such XDA support" or similar stuff. The truth is, it's bull****, in my opinion. There's countless ROMs with countless features and mostly all of them are pretty much similar besides a different logo, some UI changes, one/few more or less customization options. Not only this, but they also share the same broken device sources (e.g. sepolicy was done automatically with audit2allow which is a big meh...). You don't even want to get into reading the comments because is just a waste of time lol. As for the kernels, they're same as ROMs.

This isn't just for whyred (the thing about countless ROMs and kernels). This is XDA nowadays, except for some phones which aren't popular at all I guess. It's like people are addicted to flash every new ROM, kernel and update. This is a big waste of time. We're like seeking the best always. People need the best ROM, the best kernel and the newest update with improvements or new features. People also buy the newest phone every 1-2 years because it's better. But what if the actual things are already good enough? It's like you have a perfect car, but you then (sell it to) buy a newer one because it's better (e.g. slightly faster). Just why?

You see, I've stopped seeking new updates on my whyred. I'm running the last official lineage 15 build with security patch 5 November 2018. Yes, Oreo and yes, that old security patch level. I'm just ****ing tired of updates. I've used lineage 16 for a while (self built with the sources from someone else when I was still able to build), but I didn't like some things in Pie and then I've noticed some small issue(s) if I remember properly, most likely device sources side. Lineage 16 wasn't even official back then though. As for the security patch level, there'll always be unknown vulnerabilities which then gets fixed. It's like an endless loop and you're always vulnerable, just that you're less vulnerable with a newer security patch. I've kinda told myself the following (foolish, i know) thing: unless I get hacked or something, there's no need to update the security patch level. I don't even know if that's possible to happen. Phones aren't safe by design anyway.

Things I've been up to lately was reading, studying Python, drawing and checking videos mainly about brainwash. I haven't read and study Python since two weeks though and didn't draw since longer time, but I wanna get back to those.

1) Did you know that besides TV, school is brainwash too?

2) Did you know that mountains were actually giant trees?

3) Did you know that e.g. Walt Disney cartoons, the ones you've watched or your kids watches (I watched) has subliminal messages which promotes sex / NSFW things?

4) Did you know that milk from animals isn't actually good for bones? I don't know and I don't care if there's studies which says that's good. What I've seen / heard is already enough for me that's not good. As a side note, I haven't ate meat since two weeks by now. Two weeks ago, mother went with father in Germany and Netherlands (nowadays he does transportation with a firm in my name; I've told you about this in past if I remember properly). Basically it was the first time I was alone and I didn't had any problems with that besides the fact that'd I'd need to cook myself the meat, a thing which I can't do because I find it disgusting to touch that uncooked meat. She been away for like a week, so in the first week I didn't eat any meat. Then I've decided to continue with this because I've wanted to do it since some time already (after I've watched a YouTube video about meat and milk). I didn't do it until now because I've said that's way more expensive to eat plant based, but isn't really like that. I've also watched the documentary / movie called What the health (2017) which talks about meat, about humans being meant to eat plants, about meat causing diseases / increasing the risks of diseases. It's basically telling you to go vegan, to have a diet based on plants. Note that according to some articles / studies / opinions, the comparison with cigarettes is wrong (google it), but still...

There's much more, which I still have to find myself. Probably there's something else which I could share too, but maybe I've forgot or doesn't cross my mind right now. You can search about those, even on YouTube.

Let me know if there's something of those listed which you didn't know, if they've helped and what you have to say about them xD.

Once again, [MENTION=4850735]wangdaning[/MENTION], thank you for resurrecting this thread! :D. Let us know how are you and how things have been going for you too xD. It took me a while to write this post and right now when I'm posting it's 00:59 lol.
