nobody + 1. I actually believe that this happened.

How long did you persist in your disbelief before advancing to the recognition of threat heterogeneity?

I don't think I disbelieved it at all? In general I accept things like "okay, but". Calling people liars without evidence that they are is kind of lame, even if you keep it to yourself; then the guy in the mirror is lame.

how does RemindMe work round these parts?

I should probably owe this place book reviews rather than more of my own prose, until instructed otherwise by the folks who aren't reflexively criticising over fashions of stylometry rather than content.

stylometry

I didn't know this word.

Been slinging words for a long time, and I'm surprised I didn't know this one. Thanks for using it!

If that really happened, Luke is just dumb.

But 215? I think it's pretty fair to judge him, and afaik he still uses the same potentially compromised server to distribute Knots binaries.

Less but still a shitton.

Edit: making mistakes in custody solutions has been common and isn't a reason I'd pass judgment for. Anyone can make a mistake.

I think its more useful to judge someone by their solutions. In which case I think Luke is often wrong.

Wanna share the story so I can judge you in higher resolution after I made sure this doesn't happen to me? haha

100 sats \ 2 replies \ @optimism 7h

No. The story is out there under my real name and I don't want to doxx myself haha.

But feel free to judge me. I simply was lazy on my own stack.

Ahh ok, I understand, no worries! (You probably considered if just mentioning this is too much.)

Just need plausible deniability.

You have family, friends, kids, etc, right?

Anyone ever moved anything? Ever?

Nobody has enough eyes to sleep well at night. Some people make compromises, some people compromise, and some people have really complicated social relationships managed totally wrong... now how you gonna explain this to an adult, who has habits and beliefs and stuff?¹

I'm honestly not ridiculing Luke over this; if you read around a bit, you'll see that lots of people have, in retrospect, performed judgement errors that could be ridiculed as "dumb" in light of the cold emotionless lens of financial loss.

Life il too long to carry an extra kilogram of key material like it's your SERE totem.

"and stuff" is the problem; the most common cope is obfuscation / "security by obscurity", aka "why would anyone steal backups of my kid's homework, we've gotta throw that out next spring cleaning!" ... then you lose track of who saw what go where when why, and how. ↩
