Drew Chadwick DeVault / ddevault / SirCmpwn - Opinionated white-male-guilt-ridden software developer. Cancelled Hyprland and slandered it as "toxic" and transphobic. Hates X11 users and Hacker News. Lolicon.

Here's an interesting thought: How did this get archived? I doubt Drew linked this draft somewhere the Wayback machine could crawl it, but the Wayback machine allows you to explicitly request archival. I think Drew's friend circle might have a saboteur in its midst.

Doesn't seem like a saboteur. Do a search for the url:
https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://rms-draft-84eb252.drewdevault.com/
If you hover over a link you will see a "(why: XXX)" at the top. In this case it says "(why: certificate-transparency)"

If it was manually requested it would have said "(why: save-page-now)"
The live link to certificate-transparency is down at the moment but there is an archive that says it's a part of "Web Crawls." Seems to be a crawler, my guess is Wayback Machine crawls newly issued certificates so Drew didn't have to link it anywhere for it to be archived.

In short, this was not a saboteur, this was all on Drew for putting it on his domain.

Fuck those TLS bastards who think private information should be broadcast to the whole fucking world.

Well ackschually there's a reason for that, which is that it allows you to monitor your own domain for potential unexpected certificate generation (i.e. compromised CA, someone pwned your server and can issue HTTP-01 challenges, domain hijack etc.). It has to be public because if you are pwned at this level you can't trust that the e-mail they send for such an event will be received by you.

I know and understand the justification for it, but I still disagree with it. Rather than list my thoughts on this topic, I'll link to n-gate:

Here are some nice quotes:

This is only true as long as some asshole certificate authority does not issue illegitimate certificates for my website. Good thing that doesn't happen, over and over and over and over.

Earlier you recommended letsencrypt, and now suddenly you want me to pick a competent certificate authority? The only reason they didn't leak my info already is because my site does not need HTTPS.

Your "best system" is a trash fire and gains me nothing. I will not participate; my site is secure enough for my desires without it. As an industry, take a breath and get your shit together, and get back to me when you're not such a goddamn embarrassment. I will not have to cross my fingers because my site does not need HTTPS.

I hope Drew DeVault shamessly defames more people so that he becomes an even bigger joke and then 41%s himself out of embarassment. Maybe we'll get to catch him in the act taking 12 inch sissy black cock up the ass too while he copes and sneeds about his white guilt on Mastodon

 

[canalCrab]

It looks like it's for one of those mass downloader sites. It's intentionally insane so people pay for the "fast" download. Drew isn't showing us what he's obviously pirating (gonna guess it's tranny porn), also showing us how he's too fucking retarded to use torrents like a normal person and then splurges about CAPTCHA. Does he not understand that's not the point of these downloader-type sites? I swear I can't tell if he's more retarded or autistic.

He should learn to pirate via a torrent + vpn like any intelligent person

i cannot understate how immensly amusing i find it that someone had to get this queer(?) pregnant. assuming child is biological

You mean overstate? Understate doesn't seem to make sense there, to me.

To nobody's surprise, Drew DeVault is indeed the author of the Stallman Report.

How do I know? A KF user showed me a history of the certificates for drewdevault.com, which contains this:

Very suspicious, but not quite there yet. The link is dead. Fortunately, Wayback Machine has an archive, and would you look at that:

That's conclusive proof for me. Drew, your opsec is shitty as always. At least don't be a pussy and have the balls to publish this spergout under your name.

Shitty lefty has shitty opsec? Say it aint so.

Oh man, mandatory TLS certificates that leak DNS information fucked him over? That's hilarious. Fuck those TLS bastards who think private information should be broadcast to the whole fucking world. Still, here it's funny. What a spiteful son of a bitch Drew is.

Nothing personal leaked afaict. But rather him being an idiot and pointing it at his server where he hosts his other shit. Aka him being a retard

lunduke's video concerning ddevault as author from seven hours ago (around 19:00 utc october 16 2024). he then made post about it 2 hours later (source|archive)(hacker news thread cited in post|archive of post)

I wouldn't be surprised at all if lunduke is on the farms. He could be you, he could be me, he could be anyone of us.

But doubt he'd ever admit it publicly, if he does.

What is it with open source coding fags and thinking they are so fucking Machiavellian that his hair brain scheme to remove RMS would actually work and not set himself on fire like has done.
It is less Count of Monte Cristo and more Plans from Retards.

It's mostly due to compsci's overlap with autism, which overlaps with transgenderism, which overlaps with being terminally online and fatherless. Troons are attracted to open source and want to feel more powerful in it

wow drew really BTFOd a crazy elderly homeless man dying of blood cancer with such in depth and Pulitzer winning investigative journalism here. he will get all the tranny neo-hole he deserves because he is such a HERO!!!!!!!!

i crown him White Savior Drew DeVault (Pbuh), Vanquisher of the evil nazi bigot RMS and his fascist foot fungus.

Crosspost from open source thread:

New chapter in the Stallman Report saga: after overwhelming evidence surfacing pointing at well-known internet tough guy Drew DeVault being behind the report (either as its author or key contributor, given the draft being hosted on his very own website) and no response to the allegations despite remaining active online, the Stallman Report Mastodon account has unsheathed the next weapon every fraudster in the open source community resorts to: alleged death threats (direct link, archive). By going through multiple trigger-warnings, one can see the threat in question:




The author(s) behind the report take the opportunity to remind us of the following:

Stallman must go. [2/3]

Drew spent no time waiting to boost the aforementioned Mastodon thread, approximately 10 minutes after it was posted.

Obvious false flag is obvious.

 

[Rullepoelse]

Drew DeVault, as you're reading this, you know that you are a coward and a leech on the community. RMS has contributed more to humanity than you ever will with your shitty little language and your stupid fucking blog. RMS will be remembered for decades while you'll fade into obscurity with your faggot projects. Stop writing fake death threats, man up and stand up to the criticism. The only people that have your back are the other faggots on Mastodon that won't think for a minute about throwing you under the bus the moment they find one of the many skeletons on your closet. Jesus Christ what a fucking loser you are.

This is 100% Drew, right?

I love that he realizes he should probably deny that he's Drew only as an afterthought. "Oh, yeah, uhhh... I've never even heard of this guy that I'm flaming you about!"

A diligent Anon (link to post) made a collage of numerous posts deleted at the same time by moderation in one of the many threads discussing the opsec failure, specifically this one (link, archive). The deletion time would suggest it was an IP wipe, so all of them were made by the same person. It's bizarre that there's been a very determined poster swimming against the current in those threads, coming up with the most deranged arguments. An anonymous drew orbiter? The man himself? An elaborate falseflag attempt to make everyone accuse each other of being him even more than before? We may never know.

Is it actually possible for anyone to host something on a subdomain at *.drewdevault.com? Does https://sr.ht allow that? Otherwise I'm confused why anyone would try to deflect the accusations from that angle.

 

[White Peach]

A diligent Anon (link to post)

In the link someone claims that sourcehut nets 500k a year. Does anyone know of any evidence that this is true? Or is it just a Drew sock?

 

[LookyLook]

I found out about this kiwi thread from the threads over at /g/. I'm not surprised to find out this guy already has a previous history. Someone pointed out Drew's obsession with pedophilia and the amount of time he had to spend researching pedophilia for the Stallman website. The 4chan bookmarks from one of his livestreams are boards that constantly feature questionably young looking anime girls and active lolicon threads at any time of the day if you look at the board's catalog. It's an interesting observation and does beg the question on why he's so obsessed with pedophilia and dedicates so much time trying to accuse RMS of it. I would think Drew's browsing habits to websites with questionable cp like content is certainly way worse than anything he's accusing RMS of. He's calling RMS a pedo, while Drew actually has bookmarks to pedo stuff in his own browser. That's pretty ironic.

No, the sourcehut hosting argument was that the stallman report page and drews blog had the same IP (subnet?) before it was moved to Cloudflare.

Timestamp is 0:59. He also has /c/, /u/, /a/, and /tg/ bookmarked.

Does archive.ph archive full length videos from SpacePub? I have a feeling that screenshot of his questionable underage anime bookmarks is going to be important in the future.

Netherlands:
In a 2010 case, after viewing the images in question, which were created on a computer, the court opined that the virtual child pornography images did not fall under criminal law. "All images can be termed as pornographic (three dimensional) cartoons, animations, or drawings. The court concludes that it is immediately obvious to the average viewer that the event is not real and that the images are manipulated images and not realistic.

Could this be the reason he moved to the Netherlands? Really makes you think.

Recommendations to the GNU project​

To the leadership of the GNU project, we recommend the following steps:

1. The removal of Stallman as the “chief GNUisance” of the GNU project if he fails to step down of his own accord.
2. Replacing the transphobic GNU Kind Communication Guidelines authored by Stallman with a Code of Conduct which better addresses the needs and safety of the community.

So obviously what is going on here is that the removal of Stallman is just a stepping stone for irreversibly infiltrating the FSF and GNU project (and thus free software in general) with troons, and hijacking open-source licences to centre around furthering the woke agenda rather than nurturing actual free software. That much is as poorly concealed as the fact that Drew wrote this report.

But I can't get over the utter gall to so flippantly call for ousting Stallman from GNU and casting him off as "chief GNUisance". That autist MADE GNU and the FSF himself as his life's work. If you don't like how he runs the show (and has always run it), then fuck off and get your own project.
