Totally second that, I was banned today on their Telegram channel just because I mentioned that I recorded a r2con2025 presentation to free Samsung PowerBot VR7000M vacuum cleaners (no Samsung bot seems to be supported by them to date), titled "Restoring the Vacuum" in here: https://radare.org/con/2025/#vacuum https://radare.org/con/2025/#vacuum I wish I didn't mention Valetudo positively on my presentation now. Hypfer has bizarre (to say the least) views about what community building means and entails.

Oh, see, I actually wish I was part of a community that would have flagged this to me. Maybe there is? Regardless, thank you for sharing, I'll be watching this :)

  I posted the exact model name & number and there's indeed quite a lot of hardware specs detailed on the talk itself (Allwinner A20 SoC, btw) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "There was no relation to Valetudo"... well, with your current behavior and tone as a community "admin", you're certainly making sure I'll not work on that direction in the near future (I do have it mentioned as future aim on my last slides).

  Why are you talking about business? What about this relates to business? Obviously the thought was that the content was interesting to the people that would be interested in this software because it's about rooting vacuums and taking control of them. It's nice to get your reply here so I can see what the community is like myself.

    Can't speak for Hypfer but I guess he doesn't mean the monetary side of "business" as most people understand it but the "attention" (of reading/checking the talk and link, etc..), so I don't fault him for that. Full disclosure: I'm not getting paid nor seek money from what I found on my alleged "ad", btw.

      Business in this case means a clear transactional mindset. And you do get paid, just not in cash. You push your brand, your credibility as a security researcher and all that. You earn social credits and reputation. And that is why you tried to hook people to watch your talk. I bet the talk is good. Great, even. But this (maybe even not conscious) transactionality just does not belong in that space. HN, for example, is a much better place for it.

        > And that is why you tried to hook people to watch your talk. Hook people? Hey, it's not *THAT* good of a talk. I'm not even a security researcher myself, but thanks for the street cred ;) I see your points, let's agree to disagree on some of them but overall, thanks for sharing your thoughts over here, good intellectual sparring.

        Is this entire account just performance art? "I Pretended To Be The Most Insufferable Maintainer in Open Source and Everyone Hated Me For It"?

I posted your presentation to the discord. tehre seems to be some interest, some people would love to ask you some questions if you join us.
