    Anyone remember the XZ and Jia Tan situation awhile back? https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240320183846.19475-1-lasse.co... I can't quite put my finger on why but the entire time I w…

    This is one of those rules/laws that is worse than useless, without fixing the protocol shortcomings that make spoofing trivial the only people who will be affected by this rule ar…

    You don't get that job without being the type of person who will only ever respond to coercion attempts with an equal amount of indigance. The sole reason for the position to exist…

    No, this paper is just exceptionally bad. It seems none of the authors are familiar with the scientific method. Unless I missed it there's also no mention of prompt formatting, mod…

    I'm having de ja vu here. If they only found out when they attempted to extort them does it mean they don't even bother to log employee access? Is there any means for accountabilit…
