I’m not mad at it :-) It was written for people who were familiar with the situation and posted in a subject matter specific forum.
24 hours later I feel like a bit of an ass. I thought about how many times I’ve picked up a technical article and wished for a bit less background… it’s kind of nice that we don’t have to talk about the whole history of OSS before getting to the news/subject.
It was struggling harder than I was ;-)
Most likely. My own unfamiliarity with the subject matter plays a part too.
It wasn’t badly written… but it probably could have used a brief introduction.
Anyone else immediately get a migraine trying to read the first 2 paragraphs/sentences of that article?
So just a personal theory then?
There was definitely a time when I would have called this seriously tinfoil-hat… but given the stuff that keeps coming out, the industries support for community recycling programs that they knew would never work, etc. I’m giving it a 7/10 for probably and a 10/10 for creativity ;-)
Personally I tend to believe that generally well meaning people thought that paper straw technology would continue to improve, didn’t involve PFAS or microplastics… or that we’d all carry around a personal straw. But I do love the smoke filled room of mad men architecting a masterful conspiracy propped on the plastic shoulders of the humblest of columns.
Got any more info on the plastic straw plot? Because I’d love for that to be true, but I’m just getting craploads of articles saying the opposite.

Yeah, use one of those to clean it up. At least that’s where I’d start.
Doesn’t virus total display a list of the AV software it triggered?
I generally use Malware Bytes on windows but I don’t know if it’s effective against that particular virus.
That must be why it stopped working ;-)
Does 48 hours not getting a reverse proxy working count?
It’s FreeNAS and I don’t really hoast anything but the plex server… so 48 hours.
If deleting files counts 10 days a year, if not 1 day a year.
If you consider the way you choose to allocate your time and and a portion of your entertainment budget private… then yes.
I’m delighted. I wonder if they still employ one lone engineer with the title “WAP Architect” :-)
Wet Ass Pussy is clearly the answer.
Unfortunately there’s currently no way to prevent it from automatically loading on your Mac ;-)
I’m absolutely going to give this a try. Thanks for posting!
Not really in this case. It’s for the free one-time scan, I wasn’t signing up for the service.
I like the idea of this sort of thing, but it always ultimately comes down to placing some kind of trust in the data brokers. This seems foolish to me because they clearly have no interest whatsoever in complying with this sort of thing unless they are forced to.
Hell, if I were a proper scumbag I’d make harvesting the information of people who requested it taken down my business. Exclusive demographic, low cost business model ;-)
Hopefully Mozella have thought of this and mix a bunch of trash data with their searches and requests… or some other scheme to minimize the impact of “bad actors” in the data harvesting industry.
I probably should but I don’t. Firefox is strongly associated with my nostalgia for a time when few things required one.

They also left themselves an exception for emergency situations, without judicial review.
I’ve only recently become aware of the issue and that’s the way it feels.
But in the absence of a definitive test I think folks are concerned that they will be stuck with a CPU that continues to degrade prematurely. That seems like a valid concern.
