The site was hacked because Josh added a shitty insecure chat applet to the site which was otherwise totally secure.

It was an XSS exploit that allowed session stealing. This means that the attacker was able to log in as other users and potentially reset passwords. The attacker ATTEMPTED to download a list of username/email/IP/password-hash of all users but it failed with an error instead.

This means that at worst the attacker may have reset some users' passwords. But the site will be restored to an earlier backup before those resets. So the attacker basically accomplished nothing. And everyone just needs to re-log in after the site comes back up.

Despite all the FUD being spread by OP and Josh himself, the attacker did not get full passwords because sites don't typically store full passwords. Sites store hashes based on the passwords. At worst the attacker has hashes, emails, and ip addresses. But probably not even that because as Josh has stated the download failed.

As a registered member of antifa, I can confirm that we work with all of the government agencies listed above. I was personally involved in staging multiple “clintonings”, and all where highly successful. However, you got one thing wrong. I am not paid by the globalists/internationalists. I am paid by you. Take your fucking meds.

I don't really get why anyone would pay for consoles past PS2/NGC. Xbox has been shit since forever. PC gaming isn't any better either.

Personally, all I am doing is classic gaming and romhacks of classic games.

I cannot justify spending any money on games or Xbox game pass scenarios these days. All of that falls under "disposable income" and I have hardly any of that due to socio-political factors outside my control. Hence, my opinion is it is a waste of money and you are getting a negative experience because it is a waste of money.

However, when I used to have disposable income due to socio-political factors again not under my control, and I did game, and did get on networks like Xbox, there was always a division between people who gamed for the love of gaming versus people who gamed to try to impress people or else somehow made money off of gaming. Most modern gaming has gotten entirely away from gaming for the love/fun of gaming and gotten into franchising and "being the best" and a bunch of other shit that really was never exactly the core of gaming other than maybe getting the "high score" or something.

So, the joy is all "Drained out of it" and that's partly due to money, and so I'd say probably that is why you are feeling pissed off about the experience.

It's been a long time since I used anything Redhat maybe around 5.2. Alma I was using on a server, but I vaguely remember it had some issue detecting the RAID so I switched over to Mageia linux and it did quite well. I am trying to get myself more comfortable with Nix as I think that is the direction things ought to go, but I really haven't had much time to fool around with it lately.

I'm using Alma 8.x on about a dozen production servers now, where a RHEL based OS was required or because the software or stack doesn't play well or isn't supported with recent Debian or Ubuntu flavors. I like Alma, though. Seems to have a great community behind it. The only other RHEL based distro I use would be CloudLinux, but it's a commercial OS and sort of niche.

I've used alma in the past, and rocky went out on a limb the other day and said what happened to centOS won't happen to us. Usually, when someone says that, it is because the same shit is LIKELY to happen, so I haven't used it yet.

Fun fact: I planted over 100 trees this year around my house and have about 1/4 of an acre completely unmaintained / not mowed for about two years ago for rabbits and other animals to hide in. Some of the growth is taller than me now.

It's a flat earth joke.

One of the so called proofs for a round earth is that ships are disappearing on the horizon, implying that on a flat earth you'd be able to observe ships until they reach the opposing shore and thus you'd be able to also see far away places like China. Just like you can see the moon.

The meme shows you that in reality you cannot look that far. And no, you also couldn't see the end of the hallway in person if it is long enough.

You can provoke a similar phenomenon with two mirrors to create an "infinitely repeating space" inside the mirror. At some point you just can't see anymore, because it gets too small for the naked eye.

If you take out a telescope you can see farther. Both in the hallways and also ships that seem to disappear into the horizon. The reason your naked eye loses sight of them is because they simply became too small to perceive. That's exactly what the horizon is. It is not because the earth curves away from your sight. Not even in a round earth scenario. At that small of a distance the earth doesn't curve yet.

Luckily the moon is really large, so you can see it even though it is far, far away.

So essentially the meme is mocking people that are ill-equipped to disprove flat earth. In my opinion that's the whole flat earth joke, too. Showing that your average person cannot even disprove flat earth. Essentially revealing that most people follow science exactly as uncritically as they follow(ed) religion. The authority™ said so, so it must be true.

Wait, who is claiming you could 'see China' if the earth was flat? And you could see the end of the hallway in person.

I wouldn't put the blame on the things he highlighted as not changing because of him. Sadly we've got big government republicans and democrats that get propped up in the media and receive an absurd amount of funding where other parties or individuals get ignored. It's hard for non-mainstream messaging to get out to the masses and for that to influence change in government.

It's sad that we don't have a pro-liberty, pro-fiscal responsibility, and an American first candidate. It's sad that none of the candidates nowadays seem to reference history and the constitution as a basis for shaping their policies.
