People were playing text-based multiplayer, effectively mmos with PvP well before Tim-Berners Lee invented the Web Browser.

http://mud.arctic.org/ this one is still around.

But why? You don’t need telnet to transfer text.

I’ll always be able to play Balatro, Factorio, and he’ll, I’d go to text based MUDs first.

Like a wireless router?

Can your neighborhood communicate when the Internet goes down like Iran?

You can just have things be out of scope. It’s really okay!

Thanks for the work you’ve put into this.

Which is just as risky as instantly updating unless you’re really closely keeping an eye on which updates are security related.

Thank you!

No, but it clearly wasn’t the solution. They likely could have used some of those people they fired for that.

pushing people towards specific ideas using social media

I’ve been incredibly concerned about this for more than a decade. Watching r/the_donald in action was incredible and validated all of that fear.

And it’s still happening. On all social media, including here.

Certain narratives are pushed hard, and it’s effective. Some of it is fully genuine. Some of it is/was seeded artificially and picked up some genuine steam, and is still being reinforced. The stuff that’s fully artificial seems to be dropped fairly quickly most of the time these days.

After the artificial narrative picks up and gets genuine sentiment mixed with it, it becomes hard to tell the difference. If you can mix it in with existing emotions, like anger that we’re in this situation, and add in some seeds of truth it works even better.

Propaganda works. On all of us. And just by being here, we’re being exposed. But I’m afraid to leave, too. The more real people leave the easier it is to manipulate the remainder.

It’s just all so easy and effective and actually happening. And the alarm bells about it aren’t loud enough.

Vaultwarden is what you’re looking for.

Go to their GitHub and look at issues and their comments first.

Doesn’t xmpp require a constant connection?

Looking at and/or incorporating Navidrome might be helpful.

At least for the first year.

Rust is straight up better than C. It’s safer and less prone to errors.

It’s not feasible to convert the entire Linux codebase at once. So your options are to either have a mixed codebase, or stick with effectively Cobol into 2020.

Also, do we just trust all these random libraries? Not just about malicious code, but also what kind of quality/usability are you including?

Big companies do not want to trust open package repositories. They attempt to take countermeasures (but how much can you do?)

The huge benefit of the standard library is that I can always trust it, and it will always be the idiomatic way to do things.

At the time, everything HTTP was supposed to be public.

Especially on mobile.
