I was confused at first, thinking that somehow Sheets’ systems were compromised.

The C-based backdoor uses Google Sheets as its C2 platform, can execute shell commands, and can upload and download files.

Instead, Sheets is just the command and control relay.

Which is pretty weird, though.

I prefer the Star Trek TNG episode where they kidnap a dozen children from the Enterprise.

Weird, I was quite confident in that memory. Thanks for the link.

They get reused. Also:

About 52% of the records had unique SSNs

No, I said markets describe a type of social interaction. You inferred all.

Markets are not uniquely neoliberal nor capitalist.

Modern infrastructure is not built by markets. University materials research is not driven by markets.

It kind of is, though. Modern infrastructure is built by companies. Universities acquire materials, labor, as well as share knowledge through marketplaces of ideas and information.

“Market” is really just a construct describing social interaction. You can’t really blame it for a problem since all it is is a description of reality.

Don’t worry, the majority of Ring owners still haven’t.

Building the full stack of a functional real-time voice and video comms system as a lone dev is not a trivial undertaking.

Even if they put 40/wk or more into it, I’d still be impressed. Like I said, not impossible but these people are rare.

Less than a 4 month commit history and one dev. Not impossible maybe, but sure is suspect.

This makes questions like “how fast is WebAssembly” a bit hard to answer. […] What people actually mean is “how useful are the constructs of this language to efficient mappings of modern hardware” and “what is the current landscape of systems taking advantage of these constructs”.

Don’t really care about the drama, but I can appreciate this:

this is exactly why we do open source. when a closed product or exclusive channel is used as leverage, the correct response is to remove the leverage.

I want to see community DCs like we have community gardens. Municipal plots for hobby computing or offsite subsistance storage.

I won’t say VPSs don’t have their utility, but anyone framing it as an alternative to owning a PC is completely DeLuLu and need their head examined.

I’ve been trying using a VPS entirely as a development box. Something that has my entire development environment in it. Then I can just SSH to it from wherever and always have my workspace ready where I left off in tmux.

It has it’s pros and cons. But it’s definitely not a crazy idea. In fact it’s a pretty old idea.

Even game streaming has gotten some traction. And when GPUs all cost $4k, maybe GeForce streaming isn’t a bad financial choice.

I likely won’t be using it, but I can appreciate any Reddit alternatives.

No, your logic that it’s okay to use if you’re not an expert with the topic. You notice the errors on subjects you’re knowledgeable about. That does not mean those errors don’t happen on things you aren’t knowledgeable about. It just means you don’t know enough to recognize them.

Problem is, LLMs are amazing the vast majority of the time. Especially if you’re asking about something you’re not educated or experienced with.

Don’t you see the problem with that logic?

Damn, I gotta watch that movie again.

It’s just that all your shit and users are there, like issue tracking in this case.
