you wire fail2ban up to your web server logs and iptables. we write eio-and-ctypes ocaml to call `blocklist_sa_r`, which inserts addresses into a pf table. we are not the same.

one of the things we like about ocaml as compared to many other languages is that the type system keeps a lot of the state of the computation, so we can get up and walk away from our code in the middle of changing something and when we come back we can use the type errors to restore our internal […]

fighting fascism by writing a strongly worded letter to the fascists makes very little sense to us. "see you in court" THEY CONTROL THE COURTS! THEY DO NOT READ YOUR STRONGLY WORDED LETTERS! CAN YOU PEOPLE MAYBE TRY SOMETHING THE FUCK ELSE???

One more thing and then I'll stop on this topic. In 1995 our Computer Vision / Robotics lab at UVA had a waist-high, trashcan-shaped robot with lidar, sonar, and bump sensors. It was powered by something like an 80486 CPU, and probably had something generous […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

the sysadmins dont want you to know this but there are ports below port 20. nobody knows what they do, physicists suspect it might be related to dark matter. the government agencies scrub all mentions of these ports off the open internet. i am revealing all of this to you at great risk to my life,
