JPGs are also a lot safer as PDFs can ping remote resources using carefully hidden beacon images. Although that said, I sometimes use this to see who opened my files. I once left hundreds of these on a very popular cloud hosting provider (not naming names), and somebody working there was stupid to open the PDF on a machine connected to the internet, thereby proving abuse by employees and proving any random stranger c…

#83when I just opened the pdf my xorg died (OOM) - I kid you not, first time that ever happend. funny coincidence..or is it? I figure now I got a reason to setup that new distro I was playing with burn all them compromised stuff

I offered an opinion that this wasn't entirely usual behaviour.
The comment vanished. Not modded away, not "paled", just vanished.
Nothing to see here, move along now.
