Probably reliable until the next “feature and experience update” where they move or remove the setting and default it back to allow for all users again and all the soulless advertisers cum their pants because their malware delivered impression counts just went up again
well now you’re just putting the cart around the horse
If they used this they could just post every other day
She throws her empty bud can out the window and hands you two dollars to get a blizzard
lol I imagine you have to just be like a meteorologist and ballpark it by squinting hard and nobody can say anything if you’re wrong
Not sure how, it works so well
(that’s the actual current maintainer of tcsh and the linux file command lol)
while I agree with the sentiment. what if someone just sloppily hand-coded an insecure docker container, should you be able to kick that off too? I fear security isn’t a good baseline to decide if a project should be hosted because security is a gradient and it becomes very subjective to say what constitutes secure. following that, would you give remediation opportunities for hand-coded insecure projects? It’s a can of worms.
I would argue that they can argue it purely from a capacity perspective.
They can estimate the scale of handwritten code growing over a period of time, but not the scale of AI written code scaling, meaning their platform cannot anticipate the scale and therefore it is unsustainable. And at that point the scale of security awareness as a whole can be considered, e.g. “how many attack surfaces, e.g. repos, are we hosting?” vs “how many of our repos are insecure?”
they actually didn’t when I grabbed them either but I kept them for posterity. Important to note some of these things are almost 10 years old, so there’s certainly the rot of not maintaining them, free services pruning, etc. That being said, it’s likely why they duplicate their 7GB backup repo all over the place
Agreed, leads me to think they have some kind of script that rewrites filenames and directory names to be symbolic/symmetric and they run it manually rather than on some automated schedule. Then by storing it as a git repo they can find open git hosting and just mirror it there (the lastest copy I saw was like 7 or 8 GB so definitely not tiny, but also not enough to take down your average self hosting project)
Their goal? Can’t say. They clearly have a drive to make art, especially mathematical fractal binary minimalist art. Whether they also are actually producing malware or are just trying to piggyback as many services as possible to archive and keep their stuff online is another question. The vast majority of what I saw in my quick recon of their online presence was mostly glitch art/unicode/ascii art, blender stuff, fractals, web based d3 animations, that sort of thing. That being said, as you said, they appear to have gone to great lengths to be anonymous, I’ve only found a couple of raw IPs in there that mirror their stuff.
That being said, it seems they also clone their backups to anyone who hosts a free forgejo/gitea instance:

Idk but I found this
I also found this https://ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.carrd.co/
This is almost certainly a way to use github as a backup system, but it’s also the output of someone who does alot with white/black/grey imagery, glitch art, and is OBSESSED with symmetry as other commenters have said

“oh cool we have that awesome linguistic pattern that is on 8 letters already, want to round it out with that?”
“nah”
“zed”
“So which one of your 30 houses do you spend the most time at? Is it one of the 5 in California?”
It is identical. The only difference is one is OpenAI branded and they vibecoded software to make it control parts of the codex desktop app
Well considering that the “UEFI Shim’s” role is to sit in between a Microsoft owned certificate signing chain, it is certainly part of it’s primary role.
With Linux distributions supporting UEFI Secure Boot, the above-described Secure Boot mechanism built around Microsoft keys introduces some challenges. Every Linux distribution generates its own bootloader binaries, and each of them has a different hash. Getting every Linux bootloader signed directly by Microsoft would be slow, bureaucratic, and impractical (if not impossible) to maintain across all Linux distributions.
The solution to this problem is a shim: a small, minimal first-stage bootloader that Microsoft can vet and sign once, and which then creates a secondary trust anchor for the rest of the Linux distribution-specific boot stack – usually GRUB 2 and the Linux kernel. This trust anchor is another certificate, referred to as a vendor certificate (managed by the distribution vendor), added to the shim binary before it is signed by Microsoft.
E.g. it’s an AI built discord clone with a nearly identical interface, not a chat platform “with discord features”
oh wow lol that’s not just “discord features” that’s o.g. “linux is not unix” built by claude. thanks for the share
reads the wikipedia article
double checks to make sure I’m not on the cybertruck article
