I mean, I’m not about to leave Lemmy, this place scratches an itch that only old Reddit and Digg gave me. But competition for the steaming greedy shitpile that Reddit’s become is welcome to me, better to keep them on their toes after their awful anti-user antics.

Wtf are we even doing there? Even if we’re trying to sell out Ukraine, I don’t see much happening without Ukraine at the table. The motivators are going to be sticks and carrots. The best carrot I can see the US getting Ukraine is peace or ceasefire alongside the cessation of some of their land. But that ignores that Russia broached peace agreements twice in this mess. So it’s not possible to trust anything Russia offers (kudos on that 4D chess, Putin, you pathetic slobdog).

That leaves leaning on the rest of Europe and continuing the resistance as the only viable option. Unless we give them sticks, which would be insane and fully exile the US as a pariah state from the rest of the free world. It would kill trade and drop us into an instant depression. Which they might think they’re fine with, but that’s quite a shortcut to the guillotine.

I am. Eat shit.

Left and right sides of PA, too, please and thank you

The founder of Path is a young man named Marshal Webb. I wrote about Webb back in 2016, in a story about a DDoS defense company he co-founded called BackConnect Security LLC. On September 20, 2016, KrebsOnSecurity published data showing that the company had a history of hijacking Internet address space that belonged to others.

Less than 24 hours after that story ran, KrebsOnSecurity.com was hit with the biggest DDoS attack the Internet had ever seen at the time. That sustained attack kept this site offline for nearly 4 days.

Fuckin’ yikes. Some serious skeletons clearly visible for everyone to see if that’s the echo to the call.

Today’s ruling is likely to be appealed by Griffin, first to the state court of appeals, and then ultimately to the state Supreme Court, which dismissed an earlier petition from the GOP candidate as premature. Shit’s exhausting. Not that we should let ourselves actually get numb or exhausted from it, but you really have to admire their lack of scruples and complete dearth of any moral character.

Haha considering just how much irrelevant third-party training data you’d be looping into a format conversion, this metaphor really is spot-on.

Yeah, I’m actually kinda curious to see what it would do, since the command is pretty nonsensical. Probably just an immediate failure along the lines of “/ is a directory”?
