The founder of Path is a young man named Marshal Webb. I wrote about Webb back in 2016, in a story about a DDoS defense company he co-founded called BackConnect Security LLC. On September 20, 2016, KrebsOnSecurity published data showing that the company had a history of hijacking Internet address space that belonged to others.

Less than 24 hours after that story ran, KrebsOnSecurity.com was hit with the biggest DDoS attack the Internet had ever seen at the time. That sustained attack kept this site offline for nearly 4 days.

Fuckin’ yikes. Some serious skeletons clearly visible for everyone to see if that’s the echo to the call.

Double edit: spare a buck for Internet Archive if you can, y’all, we need this shit if we’re going to hold civilization together.

It’s brave individuals like yourself who are doing the lord’s work 🫡

Yeah, I’m actually kinda curious to see what it would do, since the command is pretty nonsensical. Probably just an immediate failure along the lines of “/ is a directory”?

Fair, but even if it is commercial, the project being open-source is a huge step in the right direction. Specifically for DeepSeek, it has a number of censored topics like “Tiananmen Square” that it refuses to speak to, but because it’s open source, unaffiliated third parties have been able to start spins of it that reintegrate said sensitive topics.

Perfect? Definitely no, but I’d say it’s almost 50% of the way there compared to the awful nature of ChatGPT/Google’s models. And it also made people realize that this is possible, so there’ll be more people taking it in a good direction that otherwise might not’ve tried.

I too cried like that at first.

You’re really throwing out every dishonest rhetorical tactic in the book. Reading this exchange is disgusting.

Yeah, this meme is a complete whiff, just seems edgy/hipster-y while ignoring the fact that nobody really cares because GNOME is a great DE.

Fedora is security? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love it, it’s my daily driver after trying just about every distro under the sun, but I would’ve figured something like Qubes would stand head and shoulders above it.

To be fair, there are a lot of “XYZ” problems on Stack Overflow where someone’s missing the point with the problem they’re trying to solve.

“I need my script to delete my file, but I can’t figure out the pathing so I delete random files until the correct one is gone. However, it’s slow – how do I speed my script up when deleting random files?”

Yeah, even the MAGA people I know are like “aight, cool”

Those tricks are actually used pretty frequently in modern graphics stacks, especially around things with fine edges like text. In those cases it’s called “subpixel anti-aliasing”.

Noppeee. Very happy I switched to Linux. Despite how annoying all the hounding about it was, it’s galaxies better than the shitshow Windows 11 is becoming.

My guy, he’s making a pretty limited point and is agreeing with you. You’re strawmanning his comments to an absurd degree.

Yes. Growing a tree from sapling to a giant trunk removes significantly more carbon from the atmosphere than an existing trunk sitting there at mass, unable to store much more carbon.

And yes, that’s why I clarified that new trees would need to be planted, right on the money.

I mean, that’s the mechanism by which carbon is removed. It goes into tree, tree dies or gets cut down taking all the solidified carbon with it, new tree gets planted in its place to repeat the cycle. In fact, the fastest way to scrub carbon with the practice is to farm trees, assuming you do it sustainably.

Wish I could donate blood, but alas, I’m on some prescriptions that would make the recipient unhappy, and I’m not about to try not-professionally-conducted bloodletting.

But then you’d be missing out on the greats, like Party Cannon

I know, it’s a huge relief seeing this as someone who uses the free tier. I think I’ll cough up for the advanced tier if they stick to their guns on this decision.

Yeah, no. iPhone VPN apps aren’t the route that Russian hackers are taking.
