I saw this talk in person. It was delightful. My favorite part was the stories of helping random people who contacted him to help fix things like car electronics. They found his email from the OSS license acknowledgments, which apparently are accessible to ordinary users.
(As they should be.)
- oefrha 2y agoWell he also got "I will slaughter you" through the exposure of his email in OSS license acknowledgements, so it's not always fun after all. https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/02/19/i-will-slaughter-you/ https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/02/19/i-will-slaughter-you/
- tivert 2y agoAfter reading that I thought the guy who sent that email must have been crazy, and it turns out he was: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/08/09/nocais-apology/ https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/08/09/nocais-apology/: > I had to retire from my career do to schizophrenia. Again, I should have not let my delusions go to the point they did nor should I have acted the way it does. My illness doesn’t detract from the rashness of my actions. There a lot of technical word salad there, like "When I say hacked, I lost every device. They rooted my charge arbitrator, I was bios bonded and I basically lost every document and all my software."
