The federal debt will balloon without blue states paying into the coffers, though? Quality of life will take a shit

I know you’re be facetious here and I’m ignorant to actual application security methodology. I do have to ask though, when you are looking for something in code that could be a security risk, isn’t it possible to look for methods or functions used to lookup DNS, outbound network calls, or even libraries used to obfuscate code? It seems to me that most programmers wouldn’t go through lengths to obfuscate their code and would want it to be readable/maintainable, so doing so would be a red flag.

Obviously no one is going to search for “evil spyware” when auditing code. Your point stands it is not as simple as that.

I mean a simple

grep -r “string” *

Does wonders to find anything, but you need to know what you’re looking for. I’d probably look for DNS names that end in government or China specific TLDs to start with.

I personally really dislike new reddit and the Photon theme. I’d say no to any change to my main instance.

100% I do not want anything to do with .ml

I’m fairly certain there’s a bit of extra detail under the yolk that looks like a necklace as well.

Looked down at my printer and realized it was a Brother. Didn’t have to do anything special, it just worked.

Man that looks really good.

I switched to Ubuntu 22.04 on 2023-12-31. I had used a bunch of other distros back in 2008-2012, then got tired of manually tweaking things constantly. Things have come a long way and there are way more options to make things work. I don’t have to spend hours on the CLI or reboot frequently.

So yeah, I’m going to stick with Ubuntu for a bit, then switch to something else.

Ubuntu 22.04 server. It works well enough for my purposes and until it doesn’t I don’t see a reason to switch distros.
