Additional context:

88 is a white supremacist numerical code for “Heil Hitler.” H is the eighth letter of the alphabet, so 88 = HH = Heil Hitler. One of the most common white supremacist symbols, 88 is used throughout the entire white supremacist movement, not just neo-Nazis.

Ah the project was just an excuse to familiarise myself with low-level network code. It’s basically just a simple TUI app that takes a list from a popular comics podcast website and allows the user to locally track the comics they’ve read then update the list when the a new podcast comes out adding additional comics to the list.

I could have done the project in a quarter of the time in Python. But I wanted to get a strong foundation in low-level socket programming, network protocols, TLS and HTML parsing. I suppose on some level I’m just interested in those things.

That said, you probably have a point. Maybe I should just look into Rust and Go. I’ve had some fun with the latter.

That’s why they’re at the bottom.

How much did the CEO of Uber, Dara Khosrowshahi, earn last year?

Awwwwh man. Mull is my favourite mobile browser! Hope there will be a fork. I’d love to contribute.

Wait is support for Mull ceasing?

Someone earned a tidy 540 bucks stumbling onto this one. Not bad.

I can’t imagine they will be able to enforce that part about VPNs…

Guys is there a way to use complex filtering on the Boost app. Maybe a regex? I wanna be able to filter all headlines that include the phrase Google CEO unless it also contains the phrase ‘head explodes’.

Christ, imagine propagating The Protocols of the Elders of Zion in 2024. Its got to be one of the most debunked documents in history:

The spurious character of the Protocols was first revealed in 1921 by Philip Graves of The Times (London), who demonstrated their obvious resemblance to a satire on Napoleon III by the French lawyer Maurice Joly, published in 1864 and entitled Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu (“Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu”). Subsequent investigation, particularly by the Russian historian Vladimir Burtsev, revealed that the Protocols were forgeries compounded by officials of the Russian secret police out of the satire of Joly, a fantastic novel (Biarritz) by Hermann Goedsche (1868), and other sources.

They were literally debunked over 100 years ago.

Thanks for the context. Soooo… What’s with he dick jokes? I mean I’m fan of dix as much as the next dick lover but setting up an emails service that’s ball-to-ball dicks is a bit much.

Yeah, I thought the same. I’ve use mail.com to make burner emails for accounts that don’t accept maildrop.cc (one off emails).

Are you saying that if NYT wants to continue to be relavent then they should agree?

This is fantastic. Thank you. I didn’t know EFF provided this service.

Yeah, I’ve found myself wasting quite a lot of time thinking of the ‘perfect regex’ for task X only to realise that I could have avoided doing so by simply taking a different approach.

GTA Chinatown Wars probably got most of its promotion from the South Park episode where Cartman really wants it.

I can’t remember where but I remember reading US agencies use tools and methods to disguise their hacks by leaving the ‘fingerprints’ of adversary state groups from places like Russia and NK. Not saying that’s what happening here but I thought it was cool (and kinda scary).

I should really cron my Borg script rather than waiting for a sinking anxiety to set it and doing backups at random intetvals

I dont understand the downvotes on some of these anti-signal arguments. There are a number of very valid arguments against Signal if privacy is your chief concern: they have centralised servers, they’ve been extremely lax with adding their production updates to their publicly available source code on github, they receive funding from RFA.
