  • I see your perspective and I think you kinda miss my perspective which I am to blame for.

    I don’t say there weren’t improvements. I am saying that given the uncertainty of “goodness”. Maybe we shouldn’t idolize it. You can appreciate the attempt of creating memory safe code through a programing language without thinking the bare metal code should be written in that language. You can like a typeless easy to write language like Js without thinking desktop app should be written in it. You can like the idea behind functional programming while believing that any application is in the end about side effects and therefore a purely functional application impossible.

    You can approach the whole topic as an area of study and possible technological advances instead of a dogma.


  • There have been “improvements” but fundamentally in my perspective, these “improvements” could be revealed to be a mistake down the line.

    Assembly has produced some insane pieces of software that couldn’t be produced like that with anything else.

    Maybe types in programming languages are bad because they are kinda misleading as the computer doesn’t even give a shit about what is data and what is code.

    Maybe big projects are just a bad idea in software development and any kind of dependency management is the wrong way.

    I like modern languages, types and libraries are nice to have, but I am not the student of the future but of the past.










  • Dude, can you be less rude? Calling me a liar, without point out a lie. At best, you found a misunderstanding of cve on my end which wouldn’t be a lie and isn’t in the part that you called a lie. Also I don’t think that there was a misunderstanding on my end of what cve means. Then you call me basically a clueless idiot for not having a clue about web servers. While I actually currently am working for a multi billion dollars companies as a backend dev and never worked anything but web dev. Then you complain about a straw man when you don’t bother to express what your actual argument was and I had to guess.

    You might realize that I am not bothering to argue your points, there is a simple reason why, you are being a dick. Make your points clearly like you did just a moment ago and don’t be rude while doing it and you get an interesting conversation.

    In case, you are curious, I am actually rather neutral on whether or not, it should be cves. I see the devs reasons and think they are reasonable and I understand why f5 would report it. A new fork seems to be an overreaction though. I bet you didn’t expect me to hold this position because you were busy being a dick instead of having a conversation


  • There is an astounding number of lies/misrepresentations in your post, good lord.

    1. I never said it isn’t an issue. Dos is the issue. It is a vulnerability.
    2. No. CVE are not required. Like never. There is no legal requirements. The c in CVE stands for common btw… You know what is not common, Experimental features on non stable releases.
    3. The stables are not affected. To quote from https://www.nginx.com/blog/updating-nginx-for-the-vulnerabilities-in-the-http-3-module/ about cve-2024-24989, “NGINX Open source mainline version 1.25.4. (The latest NGINX Open source stable version 1.24.0 is not affected.)” And about CVE-2024-24990, “NGINX Open source mainline version 1.25.4. (The latest NGINX Open source stable version 1.24.0 is not affected.)”
    4. Yes and no. Remember the c in cve?
    5. How is it a lie to say that they informed people through a mail list, when they did that? Remember you said I was lying? Also didn’t you say they wanted to keep it quiet to fix in secret, while they inform the public? Isn’t that a lie? (Also, you call it a cve in this point, well the dev didn’t think of it as one and he alerted the users. So they satisfied your “least” requirement for a cve while not thinking of it as a cve.)
    6. My statement is once again not a lie. But let’s talk about your stuck transaction. Your transaction isn’t “stuck” if you use transactions in your database, but besides that you used an experimental feature on a non stable release on a publicly facing service and the “stuck” transaction is your issue? You are fucking without a condom, my friend. And That experimental feature might just crash randomly, due to memory leaks or what not, and your transaction is stuck too.

    Where were my lies? I mean I showed you yours.


  • Have you looked into the CVE? Apparently it is a non issue. You could use it to dos a service that have an experimental feature enabled, which is disabled by default, on a non stable Version. I understand the dev. CVE should be for serious issues. And they alerted their users over an email list

    It can be used for dos, as it is crashing workers, but they will be restarted anyway.


  • Well it depends on what you see as an acceptable cost of the benefits of social Media. You could easily find differences between platform, in their function and in their moderation. These differences might be valid reasons to give it a different evaluation.

    But in case, you want to argue about whether or not Twitter is moral; and/or whether or not Facebook is as bad as Twitter, I am not interested in the discussion and my points weren’t made in support of the position that Twitter is harmful but only in “defense” of people voicing their moral evaluation of social Media.
