I had to check the article to understand how it is notable for a 4chan user to also be a business owner. They're using "owned" in leet speak sense, infiltrated security.

Man I was wondering the exactly same thing! I’m not a native speaker so that might be why

Who still uses Jenkins? It's an abomination of an obsolete system that is just a pain to use, manage, maintain, setup, etc. while there are much better, more featured, easier to use and maintain alternatives out there. And it has been like this for close to ten years now . It should have been ripped out in favour of either the "native" CI/CD (e.g. GitLab CI if GitLab is used for VCS, GitHub Actions if GitHub, etc.) o…

Is there an F/OSS alternative to Jenkins that I’m not aware of?

Apparently so, considering that this is the same person who got a hold of the No-Fly List a while back, and, you guessed it, they found it through Jenkins somehow.

So ... same attack vector, you implying crimew might be this anonymous 4chinz user? Intriguing...

The fabled titan of security "Jenkins" could be breached by no other.

As the creator was born in 1999, it's interesting to me because she's nostalgic for a period she did not fully experience. It's something I did, and it's neat yet strange to see it being done to a part of my past.

This is common among the younger people joining the internet. An the creator of SpaceHey.com was nostalgic for the days of old social media that happened when he was too young to experience it. Add me if you have a SpaceHey account! https://spacehey.com/josh

I have a soft spot a mile wide for SpaceHey, there's just something about the whole idea that's really nice. I'm not sure how much of it is because building a whole social media platform out of nostalgia is a very hacker-like thing to do and how much of it is just because it's nice to see a social media platform that's not so aggressively monetised and manipulative but either way I'm really happy it exists.

The correct spelling in that case is pwned isn’t it? I got it from context, but those always felt like subtly different words to me.

pwn is a typo'd version of own, but since it's unambiguous it would have been better here

0 times out of ten for me. First I blocked the annoying cat, then I got to the bottom, was assaulted by blinking buttons and decided I didn’t need to know what else they were saying anyway.

Oh my, assaulted ? By that single blinking icon? I hope you're ok.

Yet everyone on HN complains about ads

Yes I blocked it with ublock
