I’d buy a box to dole out on ebay in 20 years

“if” gcc had a Ken Thompson hack how do you secure checks notes anything

I feel like Jordan Peterson would go the other way where you could just say “communism” with no context and he’d go into an entertaining “there would be executions in central park” meltdown

More like 1 in 20 households having a moonshine guy which is probably more like 1 in 100 directly interacting with the moonshine guy.

I mean you are right to eschew discord but this isn’t really particular to discord. Scraping messages for something like this can be done on any public chat room regardless of which boxes you may have that it ticks; it it’s floss, decentralized, nationalized, communist, on the blockchain, indie, community run, simple protocols, whatever, in the end if anyone can read it then someone can scrape it. Discord was targeted because it was popular that is all.

Unless you eschew discord because it’s popular and not because it sucks in which case score one for the hipsters I guess.

Not present at any point in this article; any evidence that any American is stuck in a home they would rather leave. They couldn’t even be bothered to quote a single homeowner who wanted to move let alone anything indicating that this is a common sentiment.

The only evidence cited are previous rates of housing mobility which are then taken simply as a natural norm with any deviation an unwanted aberration.

The idea that people might generally want to live in the homes they bought long term is not considered. The idea that those who move or downsize are often doing so reluctantly under pressure from their mortgage is not considered.

True but I also think there are good use cases for such locks and would probably buy one if there were an open source lock available, or even one with easily replaceable firmware that was affordable.

Important thing to remember is that all locks are at best an inconvenience for any dedicated intruder and also to yourself if it fails.

Australia is joining a military alliance against China with China to protect it’s trade routes with China from China
