    Ooooooooooooooooooh shiiiiiiiiiiit that’s not good

    Like, for anybody who already understands that everything to do with computers talking to each other is basically held together with spit and tape, they’re defunding the tape

    CVE is THE definitive central source for “fix this potential hack now plz”–at least for things the US thought was too dangerous to keep secret for their own sneaky purposes. Oldheads may remember getting alerts from CERT.

    I assume, being a public-facing service, that it wasn’t profitable and therefore it’s inefficient.

    Like, EU CVD/CSIRT will undoubtedly step in to close that gap, but burning this is insane.


  • Idk that I can agree, but I can respect your viewpoint without agreeing with it. Personally, I’m a little too far to the “an” side of ancom to vibe with prevailing thoughts about the lumpenproletariat. Like, folks who want to just exist should be supported in that endeavour to any extent that it’s feasible–and where not feasible, while not actively supported, they shouldn’t be actively opposed or punished. “Lazy”, with its strictly negative connotations, feels kinda punishing.

    Though, again, I would support applying it to someone who seeks status and standing without applying effort; I just rarely if ever see it applied in that manner and would lean toward abolishing the term rather than engage in the effort to define it as such–which I suppose is lazy behavior by both definitions.


  • I feel–among the working class folks I have known–that actual attempts to skirt all personal responsibility have been far less frequent than accusations of laziness toward folks who are just burned out by life and work. I do believe that laziness is a prevailing occurrence among the wealthy, but I do not see accusations of it thrown their way often. When viewed in this light, fighting the concept/usage of “laziness” inherently protects the working class.

    I think anyone from hexbear who says “laziness doesn’t exist” still subscribes to “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need”, and statements made should be viewed with that in mind.

    Anyway, I bear no ill will, I just wanted to share where the “laziness isn’t a thing” folks were speaking from. Carry on, comrade.








  • In the prosecution of its purposes, the Slave Power has obtained the control of both the great political parties. Their recent nominations were made to serve its interests, to secure its supremacy, and especially to promote the extension of Slavery.

    I hear the old political saw, that “we must take the least of two evils.” My friend from Ohio [Mr. Giddings] has already riddled this excuse, so that I might well leave it untouched; but I cannot forbear a brief observation. It is admitted, then, that Cass and Taylor both are evils. For myself, if two evils are presented to me, I will take neither. There are occasions of political difference, I admit, when it may become expedient to vote for a candidate who does not completely represent our sentiments. There are matters legitimately within the range of expediency and compromise. The Tariff and the Currency are of this character. If a candidate differs from me on these more or less, I may yet vote for him. But the question before the country is of another character. This will not admit of compromise. It is not within the domain of expediency. To be wrong on this is to be wholly wrong. It is not merely expedient for us to defend Freedom, when assailed, but our duty so to do, unreservedly, and careless of consequences.

  • Wrapping up with some communist theory straight from the manifesto (sorry, not trying to indoctrinate, just trying to explain):

    The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.
