Fuck Sabu, all my homies hate Sabu

That’s fair, as you said most are smashed these days by capitalism and thus focus on ransomware.

The thing is if a group wanted to remain in operation, being public is against their own interest. Back then it was easier to get away with things. Cloudflare wasn’t as advanced/heavily utilized, load balancers weren’t considered and lots of old architecture riddled with vulns made things fun. Web security was also extremely poor via xss.

Right. Or site to site tunnels. Or client vpns for companies.

Some are uneducated, some are evil, either way we’re fucked lol

I really hate that the exaggerated future of Watchdogs is becoming reality but not the exaggerated group of highly experienced black hat hackers doing crazy post compromise shenanigans that would make national news.

The problem is the same reason why a Robin Hood type of character already doesn’t really exist in modern history.

Huh? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LulzSec

As someone who has also been all up inside bank infrastructure I can agree with the rest of your post, the complexity to access some of those proprietary boxes would almost not be worth it, especially with things like offsite backups.

Considering they are more or less attempting that reasoning in regards to VPN usage in the states I’d say maybe a few weeks?

And the letter (because these asshats make these things difficult to find)

The entirety of this has made me furious so I’m leaving a comment to remember to come back and soapbox in a bit.

I mean, we don’t have to live like this

Yep, he’s like rupert murdoch on steroids. And involved in smashing the white house for god knows what.

Strangely I find myself doing this occasionally as well (although, not as bad). I sometimes wonder if it’s cognitive damage from covid or perhaps the long term result of spell check / predictive word technologies. Either way it’s somewhat concerning.

Ellison doesn’t get enough hatred, thanks for reminding me 🫡

antichrist mans bunker is in new zealand zucks in hawaii iirc

We do demand it, they don’t give a fuck. Even with insurance you can’t get help. Can’t even leave this place without being rich. Land of the free my ass.

Create a framework to force backdoors into consumer equipment.

Ding ding ding

First thought upon seeing this headline. How long until we see the great firewall of USA?

There’s a x64 version of XP iirc, running it would be a hacky and security nightmare though (but think about that sweet zune theme!)

Yay more slip sliding into technocratic control

ur bootloader

Correct, though splitting hairs… Japan and Germany were both part of the axis.

Loaded question. Governments, country and state level, technocrats, fascists.

Lots of disingenuous comments in this thread regarding the change being “just json” considering they’re already on a warpath of implementing id verification. They are testing the water to see what they can get away with. Furthermore, the Linux community has always been against shit like this (see: systemd outrage, open bios, gnu etc).

The videos were pulled from YouTube via court order.
