This is my very favorite all time reply to someone’s report on our bug bounty program: https://imgur.com/a/K9q00A9

Just the one version, but lots of test builds in quick succession.

In my experience, yes. At the peak of a scraper flood I was dealing with, I'd say about 90% of the traffic was from a unique IP. I'd never seen anything quite like that before.

I think it was the latter. And the cruel irony is that these are FOSS Git repos I'm publicly sharing. I'd've been fine with them cloning the repo and analyzing away to their heart's content. That's not the way their

I just tailed the web logs for a bit and saw that it was wild. For fun, I fed 10 minutes of logs into an AI and it picked up a lot of signal I didn't catch at first glance, like clients claiming to be MSIE 7 on Android 3 and such. I ad

You’re so right. I have a public-facing Forgejo server. Before configuring Anubis, scrapers were sending it about 600K requests per day. Copying and pasting from my blog post about it: * For every Git commit, fetch the version of every file

In a project like PostgreSQL, those scars are reflected in unit tests demonstrating that they’re fixed. It’d be hard to pass its test suite and not be as robust as the original.

Python doesn't have variables in the C sense. It has pointers to objects (aka "names"), and the "=" is a pointer assignment operator. So: i = 23 # Create an int(23) object and store its address in i i = &quot

That's fair, and I don't claim that I have the canonically correct answers. My broader claim is that I don't think I've ever heard someone say ugh, I despise that my bucket of bytes has an associated type! The real dis

I don't recall anyone disliking types . Lots of people disliked static typing , or more directly static, explicit typing . For instance, I've been around many conversations over the years where people would say goofy things lik

Huh, good point. I have a shocking number of visitors saying they use IE 7 on Mac OS 9 on Intel.

It would be, but I've never heard anyone making that claim, certainly not in this thread.

by kstrauser 3mo ago
True that. Darned if I have any desire to verify! It doesn't matter one whit to me.

by kstrauser 3mo ago
That's exactly right. Between us, I don't understand furries at all. It doesn't remotely interest me and I can't really even imagine being interested in it. And that's OK! Someone else being into it doesn't h

by kstrauser 3mo ago
That's possible, too. There's not a lot of respect for arbitrary rules that don't seem to clearly benefit any legitimate purpose, and people don't tend to limit that thinking to one arena.
258.
by kstrauser 3mo ago
That makes sense. And I do strongly believe in the "virtuous circle" bit: people who aren't OK with others being themselves tend not to feel comfortable at, or get invited back to, events. That would make it more comfortabl

My hypothesis, based purely on personal experience and what friends have told me. I am not a furry. I feel like infosec was one of the earliest "no one cares who you are if you have skills" user groups. Online, you were just a han

I appreciate the semantics and locality of that, too. When you glance at it, you understand that specific tradeoffs are happening right here , and here only, without some CLI arg changing them for the entire program. It’s kinda like unsafe

The motorcycle version of that is "if cars can't here me from a mile away, then I'm not safe enough" or "broken exhausts save lives" or such, and that makes me hate those particular motorcyclists, too.

It's not clear who else they'd be talking about, because only idiotic propaganda claims Ukraine supports nazis, so that can't be it.

by kstrauser 3mo ago
It's well documented that Russia is kidnapping its citizens off the streets to send them on an invasion of a sovereign country, but I hadn't heard that they're honoring nazis now. I'm not sure I believe that.

Which countries have I not criticized for invading others? No, seriously, please let me know if I've missed some and I'll fix that immediately. I've certainly criticized my own country's misguided attacks on others who I

To be explicitly clear, I have nothing to do with Xsnow. I don't even use it. That out of the way, I can't and won't sanitize my words so that they're perfectly inoffensive all the world around. I've made comments o

I didn't write that and I'm not arguing with you. I don't have skin in this game. That said, I think the likelihood of someone having their locale set to RU also being in Russia is substantially improved.
