This kind of pithy throwaway comments are depressing. No one is saying that it’s all down to individual choices. At the same time, individual choices add up into collective movements.

It’s like refusing to recycle because environmental threats require collective will and action to be solved. Sure, but at the same time, do your part and recycle your crap.

The need for collective action and solutions does not absolve us of individual responsibility.

What are you on about.

It sounds like your saying vegan sausages distract from building class consciousness. Surely not, because that sounds as dumb as a bag of bricks.

So many people are inconsistent it’s not even amusing.

That being said, the idea of extending our compassion to other sentient beings is not often received with immediate cheer by people who are otherwise against oppression in general, sadly even by those who value moral consistency.

From an anti-speciesist perspective, watching anti-racist, anti-sexist, queer positive folks hand wringing and bumbling while trying to explain why “no, wait, here’s why this opresssion is OK” is both sad and disheartening.

Gemini was kind of entertaining, but I wouldn’t go as far as calling it “good”.

Ah yes, great book. The film is fun but completely fails to adapt the point of the book.

At first I thought it was just fully rusted.

You actually have a point, the guy is openly discussing ways to harm his kids and is in all evidence not a safe person for them to be with.

It is, see https://github.com/m4tx/curl-bash-attack

No, it is different, as it adds an entire layer of indirection and unknown to the mix, increasing the risk in the process.

Yes, this is the correct approach from a security perspective.

Please tell me you are not seriously equating a highly sophisticated attack line the Solarwind compromise with piping curl to bash?

This is a bit like saying crossing the street blindfolded while juggling chainsaws and crossing the street on a pedestrian crossing while the light is red for cars both carry risk. Sure. One’s a terrible idea though.

Oh the example in the article is the nice version if this attack.

Checking the script as downloaded by wget or curl and then piping curl to bash is still a terrible idea, as you have no guarantee you’ll get the same script in both cases:

• Detecting the use of “curl | bash” server side
• Recent implementation of this attack

Yeah, “edible”. Kinda how small stones are also edible.

What’s not to love about cow secretions mixed with boiled down (and filtered, don’t worry!), tendons, hooves and eyelashes?

Most people don’t know how to use ftp anymore. It’s a pretty limited protocol (and requires 2 open ports to function). It’s hard to integrate with good modern auth solutions. Probably more, that’s off the top of my head.

Sure, but the us (and Israel) don’t recognise the international court of justice, despite helping found it, so what are the chances of something coming out of that?

That’s really stretching the definition of “vegetables”.

Selective outage at its finest.
