So programming is gonna go from a "search, understand basics, copy/paste, make changes" industry to a "I breathe compiler optimization, pay me money" industry?
Can't say I'm that upset, it had to happen eventually. But this will only kick the brainpower down the road for the copy/pasters because they'll have a lot more time to dig in and specialize.
While that's strange in your case (aren't chanterelles one of the guys you have to cook very thoroughly or they're neuro/cardiotoxic?) they've been monitoring the air for particulate and haven't found anything dangerous, but it wouldn't hurt to shoot an email off to a funguy-ologist in the region to see if they think it has merit, and can contact the relevant authorities if that's the case. Then you win the ego game if it turns out that's what it was.
Lemmy is reddit 3.0. Early on, Reddit was basically only a website for tech nerds and misfits; atheism and jailbait were some of the most visited subreddits, idpol and divpol weren't a make-or-break-your-family issue back then but there were still a ton of terminally online furries (yes if you're a furry you're weird, but weird is fine, let that freak flag fly.) I'm including myself in the group of outcasts and misfits, and my freak flag flies in weird ways too. I've been on Reddit since the default UI was 
, although it hadn't changed much over the years before the redesign. Notice the quality of submissions though - it was a place for the intellectually curious.
But you have a large subset of users who use pedantry and grammar nazi`ism as a way to feel powerful when they're powerless. It's like picking on those lower than you, when you're in the bottom of the pecking order.
Those people saw reddit go from their bastion of freedom to the corporate ad-haven it is today and all came here. You also have a lot of younger people with the time to kill and are just trying something new.
That was supposed to be or, not of.
In turn it ~~compromises ssh authentication~~ allows remote code execution via system(); if the connecting SSH certificate contains the backdoor key. No user account required. Nothing logged anywhere you'd expect. Full root code execution.
There is also a killswitch hard-coded into it, so it doesn't affect machines of whatever state actor developed it.
It's pretty clear this is a state actor, targeting a dependency of one of the most widely used system control software on Linux systems. There are likely tens or hundreds of other actors doing the exact same thing. This one was detected purely by chance, as it wasn't even in the code for ssh.
If people ever wonder how cyber warfare could potentially cause a massive blackout and communications system interruption - this is how.
It's not about anti-censorship (making your VPN traffic look like regular traffic) it's about the IP address at the end of the VPN connection. They have a list of known VPN provider IP ranges and block those. If you run a proxy server or VPN on a your own private VPS for example, then it won't be detected.
They started also blocking OLD.reddit.com this week. I made a comment a couple months ago alluding to old.reddit.com still working even though they were blocking tor and known VPNs on www.reddit.com. I'm sure about 10,000 other people figured it out at the same time as me, since it was such a simple bypass, and I'm surprised it took this long to fix.
There are still at least 2 other unpatched ways.
Glad you commented because I read this as "forging chemotherapy on your dog" as in, commiting some kind of vet fraud. I was certainly surprised at that recommendation coming from Bloomberg.
He pulled it from his ass. Everyone fed the troll.
It's a peptide lol. A bond of amino acids. That's why Chinese suppliers sell it for $5-10/vial in bulk and still make a shitload of money.
Much wow, big pharma did drug AI a little sooner than the rest of them.
Id development of these drugs costs as much as our GDP, they're doing things seriously fucking wrong.
I knew this from basic grammar lessons in grade school. I didn't even graduate high school. I'm a bit sad this needs to be explained.
You work on computers, they work on people. Part of their job is coding on their bosses for more money, while you write a script to automate something. Hard skills vs. soft skills.
If you want, you could develop those people ~~manipulation~~ coding skills and be twice as valuable as them.
