Yes, I agree. Voluntarily forming a mob to flood issue trackers with garbage shouldn't relieve the mob members from receiving criticism.

Yes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48390931 So far it reintroduced several security issues and replaced the README.md.

Wow. You changed the README! Any plans to fix open security issues in that version?

Very generous and 30 minutes more than Meta allows non-employees to opt out of Meta's tracking. A clear company benefit!

Why? You want to send a mob to harass me like people you defend did with the rsync author? I'm not interested in that. So I'll ignore your demands. Find yourself a different target.

Which are identical to those who wrote rsync in the first place. So given the rsync author did not make anything in the first place, they also cannot go destroy rsync as there is nothing to destroy. But well done defending abuse.

Why not? If you don't rely on security by obscurity, having access to code is not a security issue.

And what if you want to implement something like Rust's "derive"? That is what the article shows. As far as I understand you would have to mess with individual parser tokens in Rust instead of high-level structures like &quot

Yeah, works well: $ /usr/bin/sudo() { echo Not the real sudo.; } $ /usr/bin/sudo Not the real sudo. And every other suggestion also doesn't work if the attacker can just replace the shell.

Why should people buy special, extra expensive hardware to test with a bad web browser? It's logical to skip that step.
