oh, I see. well, lessons learned hopefully! :)

what garbage cleanup tool gets rid of dotfiles, especially .git? if you let us know we can learn to avoid it

wait, are they really using it?

IT basically constructs several virus exe files during runtime FROM THE BYTECODE SECTION !!

what kind of viruses? what do they do? did you notice anything objectively bad that they do? or something fishy other than creating executables?

These exe files are what does the activation. It also installs backdoors, and potential malware !!

could you provide a little more details on what kind of backdoors does it install? and what malware?

this could be a big deal, but you didn’t provide anything that could be verified.

that’s not the only feature of v2. it also hels a lot with swarm merging (which with v1 only biglybt implemented), and it has updatable torrents. it also stores torrent information more efficiently and the incoming pidces can be verified immediately. afaik today torrent clients don’t verify downloaded torrents by default. qbittorent has an option, default off, to verify after a torrent completed. this is slow because everything needs to be read again from disk. I’m not totally sure about this, but I think a malicious peer could be sending crafted pieces that contain something else and you wouldn’t know it.

tbh this meme worked better with the pigeon

what is P2P? I thought that’s the category the others fit into

also, for context this seems to be a 2 years old beef

Tl;Dr: eche|off remembers zlatin and sends him away even before he could have wrote any hateful thoughts. then zlatinb introduces himself and shows his hate towards everyone not a straight white male. then also sends messages that are just otherwise weird, and basically speaks with himself, like an insane abuser does at his ex’s house right after a breakup. and channel members just handle him accordingly, by not responding to him and waiting for him to calm down and go away

then he puts it in a paste, and announces it publicly and proudly.

but Xeha also has a few interesting points, if what he says can be believed

also, does his praise of the C++ i2pd mean that it’s devs have similar beliefs, or is it because they haven’t said any “woke” thing yet?

even more so if you think about the newer ones recording their environment, the whole neighborhood etc, with cameras and/or radar/lidar

considering region locks and region based licenses are still a thing, you’re probably more of a criminal in their eye than openai will ever be

the GPL does not protect against information hoarding

that should patch it up, mostly. flatpak gives real isolation. It’s not 100% though, things can leak, like I think X11 access is unlimited, so wine programs can read other window contents, capture and inject keystrokes and mouse events if they are prepared to do it. but wayland windows they can’t see or even know if they are open. but they may still be able to mess with your bottles config and other things installed for the bottles flatpak container

and even if you remove the Z: drive letter, in my understanding the software can still access your filesystem if it was prepared to call linux specific kernel functions, or if it has a copy of its own glibc or musl and is prepared to use it

pdf files can contain javascript code that can run when it is opened. but when using complex formats (I think almost all video files, pdfs), it can happen that the software that understands it makes mistakes when reading it and making sense of it, and an attacker tries to make use of this to trick your software into doing something that wasn’t intended by its creator. this is how it can happen that an mp4 file (or mkv, others, …) cannot contain executable code (according to specification), and yet it can

in the case of pdf files, bundled fonts may be another source of problems

“a bit”. this post just proves they are lying all around

The requested topic does not exist.

Just leave as is and switch your torrent client to use that port.

which port, if you don’t open it?

I want to unalive myself if this is actually what we can expect from them

nah its a lemmy app on android that didn’t get an update in ages. probably just uses a faulty markdown renderer
