I'm still working on it! It's a MUD where the challenges teach basic OpSec practices. I switched to Python and abandoned Charm (using Textual instead)

This is what I come to HN to see - what a masterful and cool project. I'm literally dropping my plans today to make a project using this.

MAMAA is by far my favorite, it sounds like a child crying out to mom. Mamaa! (also easy to add another m or a if ever needed - mammaaaaaa!)

>"white" as a claim of culture or heritage, only exists in the context of white supremacy. The concept of "whiteness" was invented during the days of the slave trade as a means of establishing racial classification and hierarchy - to contrast the superior "white" race with inferior "non-white" races

Isn't black exactly the same thing? A completely madeup racial category invented by white slavers to conveniently deny a group their humanity? And isn't it further possible that, after these racial groups were invented, actually real cultural identities began forming around them to the point where the invented categories had reified into something kinda real?

I don't think trends and fashion are that aware of their own transience. For example, the rise of Christianity in a region hardly coincides with the rise of other forms of theism. But why not? If people are willing to believe in one imaginary superbeing, why not others whose logic is precisely the same as Christianity? Yet precisely the opposite happens - the one arbitrary belief is forced to delegitimize similar trends, in order to establish itself as not-just-another-arbitrary-theism.

Transgender people have only very recently been given the faintest legitimacy, and they naturally want to defend that against transracialists and otherkin and other movements that basically look like a parody of trans people. Even if their logic isn't fundamentally stronger than those other movements, transgender people have something that actually matters: a little bit of power.

Why should anyone sacrifice that to the altar of logic?

Never! I log out EVERY... nah, you got me haha. I honestly wouldn't even care if someone stole this account. Just having fun nitpicking :)

Ha, these articles always use xss.as instead of exploit.in, despite the latter being vastly more popular and appropriate, because exploit.in charges $100 for membership.

I sympathize because, who wants to shell out $100. But even big name news outlets all use xss.in, you see it everywhere, precisely because it's free and anyone can join. Nothing wrong with using it really, just something amusing I've noticed

I suppose since my name is green, and I said I'm shilling, and linked to Youtube, someone assumed it was some autospam promotion bot thing.

The top result is Wikipedia, "Web3, also known as Web 3.0,[1][2][3] is an idea for a new iteration of the World Wide Web that incorporates decentralization based on blockchains.[4]"

And even then, with federated services you still usually aren't hosting your content, that's really closer to what web 1.0 was, imo.

I guess the term is still nascent enough for it's meaning to be in flux. Hopefully good people are pushing it to align with the best tendencies

Thanks for teaching me C and networking. You have a talent for teaching and I hope you're doing incredible things

I wish web 3 referred to the new trend towards federated, decentralized services, instead of blockchain stuff

Hi! I know waaay too much about HTTP headers. For $10 dollars, I'll review your website's Content Security Policy, security headers, and general HTTP sanity and give a detailed, completely customized report about what could be improved, and how such improvements could be integrated with the necessary functionality of your app.

I truly, truly love CSPs and HTTP header security. They aren't as exiting as big bugs that pay out huge bounties, but they often prevent such bugs from being exploitable in the first place :)
