Fork your dependencies, trim them to only your use case, never update unless it breaks for your users. I’ve been vocal about this for 10+ years. I’ve always said that updating is way riskier than latent bugs (which can be tracked and CVEs monitored).
If you are updating a dependency, it’s on you to analyze every single commit in the full transitive set of dependencies. If you dont see anything compelling, dont update!
I remember at HashiCorp once in awhile an engineer would try to update a dep or replace a DIY lib with an external one and id always ask “show me the commit we need.” Dont update for the sake of it.
Feeling pretty swell about this mentality with all the supply chain attacks happening.
Awful librarian bitch at the local bookstore (perfect double D bust) was apoplectic and had a complete meltdown when I asked her if their banned books section included Camp of the Saints. “No… we don’t carry that. Isn’t that the racist Nazi book?” Her scowl reveals her septum piercing. My hand briefly hovers over my concealed carry Ruger .357 before I snap out of my gamer rage. Not today. She’s not worth it. “No it’s the book about the endless horde of brown people invading our nations and killing everyone. Sound familiar?” She does not like this. I egg her on further: “…is it banned from this store?” Immediate hysterics. Calling me every name in the gay race communist book. She sounds like evan loves worf. Her beauty contrasted with her despicable leftist political beliefs confuses me until I analyze her microexpressions and realize she has areola shame. Must look like a burnt pancake under that bra. No wonder you’re so miserable. “You got gross nipples bitch” I say in a Jesse Pinkman voice before making an overtly sexual bust-a-nut gesture with my hand toward her chest. She’s in complete shock. I walk away and go to the counter to purchase my copy of Light in August. The cashier is an H1-B Indian who is physically incapable of saying the word “receipt”. He needs me to sign it despite me paying in cash. “Saadr yowre dwree— recdr— werdceit please?” I have visions of rivers of blood. What the fuck are we doing here man. You should start running. You’re not safe here. You’re not where you think you are. A man taps me on the shoulder and asks me to leave the premises. Dominican rent-a-cop. The busty libtard librarian with fucked up titties grins smugly from behind him. Don’t care any more. Not my fault your shits all blotched bitch
Lmao @Hacker0x01 told me the backdoor was known "through internal security assessments" and they're "closing this report as out of scope". But now are pissed I disclosed it. Nobody should use this joke of a platform who put the interests of companies over that of users.
Last week I hosted family for Thanksgiving.
My 12-year-old nephew asked for the WiFi password.
He wanted to play Roblox on his iPad.
I looked at the device.
Unmanaged. No antivirus. No encryption.
I’m an IT Professional. I don't run an open network.
So I didn’t give him the password.
Instead, I spent 45 minutes provisioning a Guest VLAN.
I set up a captive portal.
I throttled the bandwidth down to 56kbps.
Then I blocked all traffic on ports 80 and 443.
He came back crying. He said it wouldn't load.
My sister screamed at me to "just let him play."
I told her that Zero Trust architecture doesn't care about bloodlines.
We didn't have a "fun" Thanksgiving.
But we had a secure perimeter.
You’re welcome for the compliance.
When I say H1-B’s are a tool of genocide, I don’t actually mean it is murder at scale.
But, synthetically, when you think about the downstream implications (unemployed men who will delay / never become fathers because they can’t provide for a family)… what’s the difference?
You won't want to hear this but it's not really private equity firms scooping up all the single-family homes, it's H-1B (and former H-1B) big tech employees buying them on leverage against their RSU's and renting them out for additional income.
In case you still don't get it, Zohran Mamdani is the result of conservatives listening to Ben Shapiro and fleeing their homes & communities, becoming nomadic economic migrants who exist only to serve corporate interests and the stock market all the while foreigners invade and conquer your most powerful, influential cities.
"Leave your lands and let the migrants (subsidized by your tax money btw) alter them forever. Why do you care if your church where you & your family were baptized is turned into a mosque? Just move and build a new church you entitled brat! Who cares if the town that your family has lived in for 5 generations looks like Mumbai now? Just move if you don't like it! And just rinse and repeat if it happens again (which it does), don't be so entitled and whiny. America is the economic zone of opportunity baby!"
You lost your home and everything meaningful but hey at least muh economic lines went up!
They really threw this guy Harj to the lions with this one, now he's up there glazing this money laundering vehicle whose employees are all coming out admonishing them, saying they cut off goat heads, fire people before vesting, 996, lie about MRR a whole order of magnitude, and more.
It's important to note how they use guys like Harj to polish these companies up so they can rob the next series of investors
YC specializes in this kind of shine job. They are a cabal of grifters, the Altman mafia, and they create shitter companies praying one is a unicorn they can IPO so they can dump on the boomers buying Doordash in some garbage basket of mutual funds.
One of those wins creates enough money to fund a million shitters.
What is Harj's claim to fame? Triplebyte. How does a quick google of their company turn out? 2nd result: Triplebyte is exactly what's WRONG with the industry.
They got acquired by Karat. Let's look into Karat.
"I spent 25 hours studying how Karat raised $100m... how do they make money? Simply put they don't."
Another huge exit into another tax loss harvesting vehicle that will eventually go bankrupt while Harj, Sam and the sauna crew all ate like kings.
Great work Harj! We really ate off that twin!
These are thieves and scoundrels who did so many robberies that they can fund new scams forever. They only need .1% of the scams to IPO to keep winning. It's a numbers game.
There is no prestige in venture capital. If you raise, you are getting raped. Why do you think they only fund immigrants? Because they need hostages. They need you to work like you're about to get sent back to Mumbai.
Big Tech has flooded America with immigrants and now they are building companies like Giga specifically to extract again.
The Doordash CEO owns a huge chunk along with Sam Altman, Garry Tan, and Harj. They knew the plan was to give them the huge Doordash customer service contract. They knew that they could hide their capital gains in the company until next year, exit at a huge profit again, and abandon our Indian Ewok friend here.
They know that "voice-to-python" has been around for years already and that you could do this with almost any AI tool. They know you could build it out internally for a fraction of the $61m.
But why do that when you can rape again?
What they are counting on is that you don't know. That you and your parents and grandparents never catch on that these companies will never turn a profit. That you never take a second to doubt these shinejob 4K interviews in these carefully crafted sets meant to signal elite credibility to the next greater fool.
They are counting on you never asking why it's never white American boys getting funded.
They are counting on you believing Indians are smarter than Americans.
They depend on your ignorance and the ignorance of anybody investing after them as they position to cash out on their incestuous circular cabal contracts.
When the bubble pops.
Remember these are the people who fucked you.
@DineshDSouza@tyleraloevera This post should be framed and prominently displayed in every government building as a constant reminder that there's no such thing as assimilation.
Most people can’t even begin to understand how insane this is. Far, far worse than Vivek’s meltdown at Christmas. Dinesh has spent literal decades pretending to be raceblind, and railing against identity politics.
Then, when H-1B immigration starts to receive even the smallest pushback, he goes out of his way, under no pressure, literally 0, none, not even someone replying to him or talking about politics, to find a random YouTuber who is documenting something unsavoury about india, and brag that America and her future “belongs” to indians like him. He saw some people insulting indians, and he immediately dropped the mask he had maintained for decades, became an outright ethnonationalist, and started bragging that he and his coethnics will take over America.
Dinesh is incredibly prominent, and has spent FOUR DECADES working his way into American politics. For 40 years he has been telling Americans to abandon identity politics. And the whole time he was just a closeted indian ethnonationalist, disguising his true beliefs. How many more foreign-born political commentators think exactly like him? How many political commentators who are born to immigrant parents think exactly like him?
Dinesh D’Souza is literally an indian ethnonationalist who is insulting White Americans and bragging that indians will take over the USA. This should be 10x more disqualifying than even Vivek’s worst moments.
