LMAO. The NodeJS/NPM ecosystem is hot garbage and I don't miss it:

"Every developer or CI pipeline that installs this package and has an npm token accessible becomes an unwitting propagation vector. Their packages get infected, their downstream users install those, and if any of them have tokens, the cycle repeats."

Trivy Supply Chain Attack Triggers Self-Spreading CanisterWorm Across 47 npm Packages

CanisterWorm infects 28 npm packages via ICP-based C2, enabling self-propagation and persistent backdoor access across developer systems.

Pentagon Reveals Attacks in Latin America Are Just the Beginning

With “Operation Total Extermination” and Trump’s threats against Cuba, expect more U.S. military strikes in the region.

The link is to more confirmation of this.

I am currently adding more down side butterflies on SPX...but I am not your financial advisor.

Because Donald J Trump is the stupidest person alive, we all knew that postponing the ultimatum until the day troops would arrive in the area meant there would now be a new land forever war. The Art of the Deal indeed. Dumbest fuck on the planet who got cucked by Netanyahu.

US Troops Are Being Told to ‘Get Ready’ to Invade Iran

There’s a ‘1000% increase’ in troops trying to conscientiously object, Mike Prysner of the Center on Conscience and War tells Zeteo.

Trump warning us about his second term.
I just have to ask, "how is he so stupid?" without context and everyone knows exactly who I am referring to.
@sindarina Americans might want to question the Butler, PA assassination attempt of Trump in 2024 given prior Russian interference in US elections... Trump, the biggest whiner in the world, has rarely mentioned it.

@0x2ba22e11 yes, I remember when make menuconfig was new (was it 2.5.x?) and thinking this is great but when you need to change a bunch of options, it was still quite cumbersome. Cross compiling kernels for different targets using Nix is nice too:

I wouldn't have the time to tinker with embedded Linux again without these tools (or never get anything done).

@0x2ba22e11 yes, using Nix. That snippet is only the part for the kernel. There are a couple of other things for the system config that I elided.
@quephird I was told that the next time I am called this that I need to reply with "bro-stachio".
