“if” gcc had a Ken Thompson hack how do you secure checks notes anything

I feel like Jordan Peterson would go the other way where you could just say “communism” with no context and he’d go into an entertaining “there would be executions in central park” meltdown

More like 1 in 20 households having a moonshine guy which is probably more like 1 in 100 directly interacting with the moonshine guy.

I mean you are right to eschew discord but this isn’t really particular to discord. Scraping messages for something like this can be done on any public chat room regardless of which boxes you may have that it ticks; it it’s floss, decentralized, nationalized, communist, on the blockchain, indie, community run, simple protocols, whatever, in the end if anyone can read it then someone can scrape it.

I can excuse attempting to compromise millions of computer systems worldwide for nefarious purposes but I draw the line at violating the contributor guidelines of an opensource project.

bluesky users pretending that it’s a real contender to activitypub and will become decentralized any minute now.

bluesky users also not understanding if it were decentralized then it cant stop Putin from making an account.

did they at least have a cover charge for the Althing? can’t have the law be both legible and freely accessible.

The top cat uses ports to sort messages based on application.

Think pigeon holes, applications usually use protocols which are assigned a number by convention. The application gets it’s message out of it’s assigned ports instead of having to sort through all the messages.
