The NSA wasn’t able to break Tor fundamentally, even with spanning numerous exit nodes to intercept traffic, and high-scale traffic correlation between enter and exit nodes

“We will never be able to de-anonymize all Tor users all the time.” It continues: “With manual analysis we can de-anonymize a very small fraction of Tor users,” and says the agency has had “no success de-anonymizing a user in response” to a specific request.

I’m surprised to read the whole thread and nobody mentioned that TorBrowser is the goat for daily anonymous browsing.

LibreWolf doesn’t update itself on OSes other than Linux, it’s a security nightmare for an average person.

This is a very good point. I was reading “Extreme Ownership” and one of the point they were making: a 5-star manager makes 5-star team and vise versa. I called it a BS back when I was reading. But afterwards I got a new manager that threw the amazing well-oiled high-performing team in a dumpster in 6 weeks. Half the people quit within a month (it took me longer because of the vacation lol)

The alternative is a literal Nazi posting racist cartoon depicting Obama as monkey, not to mention a few murders here and there, and a promise to deploy armed Gestapo to watch the election. But worry not. You prople did very well not woting for a weak candidate.

Alas, you have a strong one now.

If you’d replace the word ‘flattened’ with the specific term ‘unwrapped’ it’s starting to make even more sense.

Conveniently you forgot to mention a short list of terrorist groups financed by Iran.

Here you go

1. Hezbollah (Lebanon) – Iran’s most heavily backed proxy; receives funding, weapons, and training. Operates militarily and politically in Lebanon; hostile to Israel.
2. Hamas (Gaza) – Though Sunni, Iran supports Hamas with weapons and funds due to shared anti-Israel stance.
3. Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Gaza/West Bank) – More directly aligned with Iran than Hamas; receives significant Iranian support.
4. Houthis (Ansar Allah, Yemen) – Iran supplies weapons, intelligence, and training to Houthis in their fight against the Saudi-led coalition.
5. Kata’ib Hezbollah (Iraq) – Iraqi Shi’a militia backed by Iran; part of the Popular Mobilization Forces; responsible for attacks on U.S. personnel.
6. Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq (Iraq) – Another Iran-backed Shi’a militia operating in Iraq; heavily involved in sectarian violence.
7. Harakat al-Nujaba (Iraq/Syria) – Shi’a militia supported by IRGC; operates in Iraq and Syria.
8. Fatemiyoun Division (Afghan Shi’a fighters) – Recruited and trained by Iran to fight in Syria.
9. Zeynabiyoun Brigade (Pakistani Shi’a fighters) – Similar to Fatemiyoun; deployed in Syria under Iranian command.

Revolutionary technologies of the '80 make me appreciate modern programming languages and especially tooling much more.

In general, ‘classes’ declarations were done with macro. I don’t remember the exact code — something akin to

BEGIN_CLASS(A, Parent);
CLASS_MEMBER(a...)
END_CLASS();

The project had started before C++ existed, and the switch would be too costly. It’s not just OOP part, also reflection mechanism with bindings to the homemade scripting language, and multi-platform UI library. It was a gem of its time.

I was working on a C code base with classes, inheritance, and polymorphism, all done by hands and macros.

Something like

typedef struct s_some_class {
    void (*method)(this *s_some_class);
} t_some_class;

Overall, learning C was the best enabler in my whole career. For instance I was learning Python by tinkering with CPython VM, so when I see these ‘WAT’ quircks I know exactly what’s up.

Elevator, all public transport, buildings. There’s more space outside. Stop cramping.

While working on Borderlands 3, the team was severely underpaid. People started quitting, so Randy promised them an “unprecedented company profit-sharing bonus model.” That never got paid—he blamed “higher-than-anticipated development costs and sales not meeting projections.” Borderlands 3 went GOTY, a few dozens millions copies sold. Randy secured a $12M executive bonus for himself. When staff expressed dissatisfaction, Pitchford told them they were free to quit. This was in the middle of the pandemic, and the job market was absolute crap.

I’m free to elect whoever, Russia is free to fuck off from MY country. Before you start repeating Russian propaganda about opressing Russian speaking (me btw, I am Russian-speaking Ukrainian), go watch Putin whose cock you suck, he openly says he’s waging the war of conquest.

From Ukrainian who grew up facing Russian imperialism and oppression of my culture. From Ukrainian who stood up on both revolutions against Russian puppet dictators — fuck you, piece of ignorant shit. You are complicit in Russian genocide against us. You are my enemy.

This is my new busyness e-mail signature.

I volunteer in my free time so that more Russian occupiers will be eliminated. I’m very proud of myself.

Russia had no significant gains over the last years with half a million casualties (KIA, MIA, lost limbs, war prisoners), the logistics is crumbling — they use donkeys, the economy and demographic are in the toilet but Russia is extremely good at spreading propaganda. So much so that the US admin is parroting it and putting pressure on Ukraine.

Comfortably runs on electronic thermometer or pregnancy test.

Linux 🤝 DOOM

Indeed, those are anti-tank mines, absolutely harmless to humans.
