keikobadthebad··on Glibc Buffer Overflow in Iconv
Sounds like you had better upgrade to the fixed glibc version if you're running php...

keikobadthebad··on The Internet is starting to break [video]
"The Internet" is fine, greedy artificial scarcity companies are not "the internet".
keikobadthebad··on Xz: Update maintainer and author info. The other maintainer suddenly disappeared
What a shame... people using their powers for good, and then these guys just shitting on everyone.

You have to look very carefully at contributions after this.

keikobadthebad··on Ask HN: What tool for negotiating/discussing scope items for fixed quote?
It's enough money it's worth making a short document summarizing the current ask from them as you understand it, and sending that back as the basis for agreeing what they want, pasting stuff from emails and changing the quote as it evolves.

> The car then asks you to leave a recorded message explaining why you intervened, and the struggle is to use words instead of screaming over and over.

Lol

keikobadthebad··on Meta's Only Slightly Better Than Burning Books Plan
Where's FOSS for books? Outside CC docs I don't see it around. Time needed for a large software project is easily more than a novel.

Instead authors typically sell through copyright maximalist proprietary publishers who take their cut keeping the author dream of riches alive.

Yes the AI companies are philistine barbarians at the gate. But in comparison to FOSS where people strive tp empower others, aren't authors greedy and naive expecting exveptionalism?

keikobadthebad··on Fair AI Data: Your Data, Your Rewards
Airbnb needed neither a shitcoin, nor to use blockchain.

Good luck!

keikobadthebad··on Fair AI Data: Your Data, Your Rewards
These guys have no connection with the artists, the courts, or the AI companies but want yet another shitcoin to interpose itself between any solution, so they can make money.

keikobadthebad··on Fair AI Data: Your Data, Your Rewards
Sounds like a landgrab for NFT2.
keikobadthebad··on Interviews with Leaders in Local-First
From inkandswitch.com on their first podcast episode

> All in all, we speculate that web apps will never be able to provide all the local-first properties we are looking for, due to the fundamental thin-client nature of the platform. By choosing to build a web app, you are choosing the path of data belonging to you and your company, not to your users.

This is just wrong, consider cups with a headless backend at 127.0.0.1, but in there doing whatever it needs to do.

Browsers are too good at being universal frontends to ban them according to shaky dogma.

keikobadthebad··on Meta's Onavo VPN removed SSL encryption of competitor's analytics traffic
Facebook is not removable from many android devices... does this mean Zuckerberg has been seeing all user traffic for years regardless of tls?
keikobadthebad··on Data research to Russia's misinformation website network
Whataboutism doesn't change the negative consequences of distortions from those on the receiving end of enemy information operations.
keikobadthebad··on Ask HN: Is getting highly paid salaries as programmers a bug?
Maybe if you get highly paid. If I get highly paid, that's definitely a feature.

Some companies use it as a field-salting strategy to deny a resource needed to enter a business to competitors.

And they sit there getting highly-paid to get scrummed and go through Jiras.

keikobadthebad··on Ask HN: Which OSS License should we choose?
> OSS > make sure we get a part of the value should someone resell / create a derivative of our software.

These are different animals, FOSS means you give downstream users most of the key rights in the software that you have, including sources, the rights to use it and distribute to others.

If you want to restrictively license it so people have to pay you, that's something very different, "all rights reserved".

Dual-license means you make the free option 'too free' for most commercial users, forcing them to supply changed sources and also allow anyone to distribute it under the same terms, GPL3 is a common choice. It's 'viral' and probably forces anything linked to it to be GPL3 or freer, including any of their own secret source. But those guys are not obliged to pay you anything.

The commercial users who don't want to share their work on top of yours can approach you for a separate, paid, restrictive licence allowing that.

How well it works depends on how common it is to bind stuff to the GPL3 version and how objectionable that is for commercial users, funnelling them into your paid licence.

... send the original document?
keikobadthebad··on The "Hidden Standards" Problem in Interviews
Another major problem is recruiting for something specifically, explicitly niche instead of adjacant skills that directly imply ability to learn it. Whatever gain they thought they were going to get by filtering so hard to derisk is lost many times over by lack of availability of the specific experience creating endless delays.
keikobadthebad··on Movie Posters Perfected
Pay US$20 for access to remastered movie poster images.
keikobadthebad··on Medical Device Developer Linux
Be the change you want to see.

Don't expect skilled people who care about your constraints to dedicate your life to them for $100 a year, when they might get sued to death.

Shrug. Have a nice day.
keikobadthebad··on Espionage Probe Finds Communications Device on Chinese Cranes at U.S. Ports
Yes, attempting to reheat an older story because there's some motivation to try to keep it alive is different from drawing attention to current news. It can give the false impression whatever's being reported is more prevalent or important than it is.

I read the original story a week ago and initially assumed this is a new story following up on it. It isn't.

keikobadthebad··on Ask HN: Why are there no open source projects that focus on making you money?
> I feel like for open source projects to really get my attention they need to offer a way for me to generate income from it.

"they" don't "need" to do anything for whomever you are.

It sounds like you might benefit from blocking out some time and producing a public open source project. Then when you deal with people like yourself explaining that you "need" to eat ramen noodles and live in your car so they can make money for free, you will be able to understand what is wrong.
