I really like smalltalk and it really fit to what I imagined OO to be all along. I'm amazed that things like Forth and Lisp (two other languages I really enjoy) seem downright mainstream next to it.
 

Lunduke was on the sidescrollers podcast a few days ago apparently. Im just watching it now.

They start talking about linux a bit ahead of this. But something I didnt know is lunduke talked with terry davis.

At aboyt 1:21:00 they start talking about it.

A bit ahead of that they start talking about the linux bazaar pride flag situation, and lunduke explains that to them.

Edit 2. Lmao i paused and went to do something. Just got back to watching. He actually says cia nigger on the stream!

Lunduke W

Edit 3. Ok he had to know what he was doing there. Lol, RIP to their channel, or at least monitizing that episode.

This is bit of an amateur/outsider question, but when they teach Software Engineering or Computer Science or whatever in university, do they sit the students down and plop a book of Grammar or Rhetoric in front of them? Is Aristotle or any other lesson in Formal Logic a requisite part of the degree?

In my line of work (nothing software) knowing a bit of OR, AND, NOT, NAND etc. is part and parcel of the job and I've always just assumed that the various software languages are all necessarily different implementations of formal logic because of this. Is that even acknowledged in school though? I never hear references to philosophy within programming besides socio-politics.
 
This has absolutely nothing to do with lolcows but it did made me giggle and is about the Open Source Software Community as I was looking to solve an issue I had with vsftpd:

If you're coincidentally having the same issue as me as this guy; the actual solution is having the local_root folder only have 700 permissions. (aka. sudo chmod 700 /hasake/shinonome/folder

Here's a clip of it. Top right reaction is just amazing :story:
 
I took a look at the new NCMEC toolkit that dear sneeder is developing to fight CP:

If this is the same thing as the screenshot it's open source (MIT) and available here: https://github.com/usips/xf2-ncmec

Somewhat worryingly, it appears to be extensively vibecoded. It has all the hallmarks of unedited AI code: slop readme, redundant, obvious comments splattered everywhere,

It also has raw SQL queries: https://github.com/usips/xf2-ncmec/blob/master/Repository/IncidentRepository.php
Example screenshot:

I don't know the first thing about PHP - maybe it's idiomatic in PHP or Xenforo, but it looks dodgy.

At times I was pleasantly surprised by the code showing signs of security by default and defense in depth. Maybe not all of it is vibecoded, or maybe the prompting was good and the models are smarter about this than they used to be. Looks like he learned his lesson after the rust chat hack and this doesn't look bad from a security standpoint.

Anyone versed in PHP willing to take a look?
