A business or government can (should) separately package, review, and audit code without involving upstream developers or maintainers at all.

And neither do you today.

There is more to it than "being able to make an entire application", which a novice could also have pulled off in a weekend 10 years ago.


Many people look for purpose and impact in their careers.

If one has impact in the military, what purpose is it serving under current administration and leadership? It's a hard sell from an ethical perspective.

Jobs that feel purposeless is a common complaint but actively serving evil?


I feel like there was a 14 word phrase that described the purpose, but I can't remember it right now...



First 2, nope, tried them and they are too basic and slow. There is huge productivity gap between TC and those 2.

> The assumption is simply false, and not due to the "SSD wear" argument. Many consumer SSDs, especially DRAMless ones (e.g., Apacer AS350 1TB, but also seen on Crucial SSDs), under synchronous writes, will regularly produce latency spikes of 10 seconds or more, due to the way they need to manage their cells.

Do you know to what extent this can be mitigated by overprovisioning? Like only partitioning say 50% of the drive and leaving the rest free for controller as "scratch space"?


> It appears that...

Well, maybe look closer before sharing premature conclusions and speculation as if they're news?

Current title is incorrect and ragebait. Lunduke's already known for stirring shit and making a murder out of the tinyest of feathers. The most disappointing thing in this story besides the flaming of maintainers is people still taking L's rants seriously. He's DoSing community attention and you're falling for it.


From an r/ArchLinux moderator responding to a censored user:

"I got a DM from much higher up the chain asking me to remove it. Whilst I technically don't answer to them, I do respect their wishes. They don't like someone they consider as part of the core dev teams being called out like that. What you did broke the Arch Linux CoC."

Wait so is this part not true?


Your quote is referencing action taken with regards to one specific case, because of CoC violation (nothing there about choice of topic).

The title is worded as if there is a general stance with regards to position on topic.

The latter does not follow from the former.

Raising questions and voicing considerations is one thing while brigading and flaming is another.

This outrage is manufactured.


Looks like there are several fresh data points for those tracking personas related to .today operations on display in this very thread...

It's either sockpuppets or evidence of larger op


They already mentioned info control. Also visitor and flow data prob juicier than the archives themselves for site like .today.

Oh, and a great injection point of malware, which can be more sophisticated and selective than the DDoS under discussion. Hard to come up with a more efficient browser-0day deployment pipeline if youre flying under radar and want to be able to target arbitrary individuals.


Reminds of King of Kong and those arcade and video game "World Championships" in 80s/90s basically only involving Americans.
