why is my email in the breach if i signed up with a throwaway? well, i (stupidly) used my personal email to contact tracki.

but what i don't understand is why *now*, ~a year and a half since that hack, and also why at all if (from the article) tracki supposedly patched their shit?

but anyway, good news is i found out about a very cool blog. and also #FuckStalkerware 3/3

so, i sent tracki an email and added them to the unfortunately long list of entities violating osm copyright.¹ (they were still violating it months after i alerted them)

anyway, fast forward 2 years, and i start receiving sign up confirmations for like, random help desks? so i looked my email up on haveibeenpwned.com and read about its hack and other shenanigans by @maia,² which might explain why some of the help desks are israeli(?) 2/

Lacking proper attribution - OpenStreetMap Wiki

just found out my email was in a data breach.

a couple of years ago i watched a mark rober video about this glitter bomb anti-theft thing, and i noticed the service he was using to track the thing had a map that looked like openstreetmap, and i didn't see any attribution. as an osm contributor (at the time) i thought i would investigate, so i signed up to the service, tracki, with a throwaway email. and, as i saw in the video, they were using osm data without attribution, which is illegal. 1/

@hackaday.com wow! what a totally not misleading/clickbait headline that is!

@mavetju this should only happen if the service has PrivateTmp= enabled. If you don't want this, you can run `systemctl edit php-fpm` and enter:

[Service]
PrivateTmp=no

but keep in mind this will make the service less secure, especially considering that the program doesn't seem to use a unique name under /var/tmp

The perfect movie review doesn’t….

What is the point of all these settings if I can't set them‽ Is this just a way to keep the statistics for “A.I.” “adoption” up at #Microslop?

@Kerplunk it was only my intention to combat what i see as off topic and unhelpful to the original advice for *most* linux users. but you are free to use whatever you want, and it is not my goal to convince you otherwise - i apologise if i came across otherwise.

@Kerplunk and `src/shared` especially contains lots of code used in other components, so the ~410k is likely very generous.

as for the '99%' point, yes. you are right. 99% of Linux users are likely not systemd evangelists. but i was not talking solely about them, but of all systemd users.

i am glad that s6-rc works well for you, and others as well. but systemd works just as well for me and many others.
