If I wanted to argue with tankies I’d just go back to Twitter

Slashdot. I have a very low 3 digit UID. I followed Rob Malda’s blog before he registered the domain.

I remember having Netscape open on the site and reading it. I walked a couple blocks to by a pack of smokes. Got back home and refreshed the page. Noticed a new post with site registration available, so of course I did.

To this day I still get password reminder requests to my email that I never sent.

I still comment and sometimes get some people replying noticing the low UID.

Silly I know, but it’s cool to me anyway.

That’s Harman Cain - Tea Party activist and businessman active in politics. He famously died after contracting Covid from an indoor political rally in Tulsa at the height of the pandemic before any vaccine was available.

It’s more about getting chastised and guilt-tripped about refusing to go yet another holiday family event where multiple people are likely symptomatic and they get mad you opt out, then you’re vindicated later when many people actually get sick

Get your blood pressure checked, and checked often

I remember in the mid 90s I was looking at Linux World’s website and they had just implemented account registrations that same day. I was fuzzing the website and they had left directory browsing enabled and the users, passwords, and email was sitting in a plain text flat file that was world readable.

I emailed them, didn’t get a response but within the hour the registration/login was disabled along with no more directory browsing.
