Dr. Bruce SimpsonI suppose building a PC in 2026 is a bit like a Jedi making their own light saber. Gotta get the right kyber crystals. Didn't realize I'd need M.2 brackets; I sourced bits for cheap on eBay UK as a guest (since they insta- #shitcanned me when I tried to list something), and did not know 2280 was a module length. Seems fine though, unboxed Crucial 1TB NVMe. Looks like a typo; I checked, and the listing photo clearly showed it was a 2230. So it's the slow slot til the brackets come.
@VogueLaGalere I have been actively researching adjacent topics over the past 36h. There's some merit to this, strong encapsulation is basically impossible in the language as currently conceived. CapPython went nowhere. The workarounds tend to be address space segregation and guarding external APIs and FFI carefully. rexec and Bastion were similarly #shitcanned. Decorated accessors and mutators may help. __slots__ is a similar palliative measure. You still have to fuzz. @fanf
@kimcrawley Vivaldi is awesomesauce when configured just right. The UI is more compact and legible than Brave and it's a noticeably faster Chromium without the "AI" / VPN / "cryptocurrency" crap. I #shitcanned BitPay too. Thanks for the recco!
@detry @mcc The concept was first described by Ward Cunningham, who co-invented the Wiki. And I am like a macrophage for it. It gets #shitcanned and then it is time for the "dogshit refactorings".
@adamshostack Microsoft's crediblity can be summed up as: refusal to patch RpcImpersonateClient(), and when Nadella #shitcanned as many QA people as he could, in addition to his whackjob Overton-window-denying assertions about "social permission" for misapplication of LLMs in a public forum; his obsession with the "growth mindset" betrays "business idiot". The organisation just has to die a natural death at this point or get the Ma Bell treatment from a more progressive future US administration.

I edited addresses for The Linux Foundation @linuxfoundation and the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) @openssf into the opening post.
Since The Linux Foundation is to thank for various improvements to FreeBSD: to what degree, now and in the future, will you shitcan your involvement with the FreeBSD Project?
Below: food for thought. A few points of reference.

＂… FreeBSD was granted $150,000 for the purpose of improving the security and maintenance of third-party software within the FreeBSD base system.＂
The mission of Alpha-Omega – a Linux Foundation project – is:
＂to protect society by catalyzing sustainable security improvements across open source, from the largest global projects to the smallest but essential components maintained by individuals. "
Further:
＂Open source underpins the world’s digital infrastructure, yet much of it remains under-resourced and exposed to growing security risks. Alpha-Omega exists to address this challenge by serving as a helping hand and funding catalyst that supports the maintainers, communities, and ecosystems where security investment can have the greatest impact.＂
