I just started using this (using integration with (spac)emacs), and it does indeed spark joy. I have been performing some refactoring today and it made my life much, much easier. I'm still working out how to configure it to avoid false

It looks like you have not done any "looking" at this at all. This is a worm that is using the ETERNALBLUE (and possibly other) exploits to infect all vulnerable machines on a network without user interaction plenty of stupidity f
