Obsidian has the proper protections in place to prevent this type of attack, and the victims are being convinced to ignore them. This is just a successful social engineering event. I hate to see Obsidian dragged down by this headline, since this attack is not exploiting a vulnerability in it or its plugin system.

I took the time to construct this diagram a while back. Thought I'd post it here since it might be useful to others. AFAIK, it's complete and accurate, though any comments on it would be appreciated. Note that the bash startup process is even more complicated than this diagram indicates if bash is launched with certain command-line options. But trying to cover all those cases would make this diagram uselessly complex.

"dig in your heels when confronted with overwhelming dissent"

Sorry, sticking to this one.

Call me anti-social if you want, but facing overwhelming dissent may indicate you're the lone free-thinker in an echo chamber. Being that one guy who's always prodding the hivemind with a pokey stick has value in my opinion (though you will end up getting stung on occasion).

Reporting around this Claude Code CLI leak is rife with disinformation and hyperbole. Even sources we'd like to trust are getting it wrong. This article explains what was leaked, and why it doesn't really matter much.

Good point. Many (or most?) people do not understand the wide range of disability associated with SCI. No two injuries are alike.

Paraplegic here, can confirm (for myself anyway). After reading several discussions/polls online on the subject, it seems to me that the general order of importance is:

1. Resolution of neuropathic pain 2. Use of hands 3. Sexual function 4. Bladder and bowel function 5. (a few other things) 6. The ability to walk

I should note that the discussions/polls I've read are mostly from the United States. The U.S. is probably the most accessible country in the world, and as a citizen I don't miss walking so much because I can still do almost anywhere I want to. If the discussion was among people from undeveloped countries, the ability to walk might score much higher.

> One might question why all control codes in the ASCII character set have low values, but the DEL control code has value 127. This is, because this specific character was defined for deleting data on paper tapes. Most paper tapes in that time used 7 holes to code the data. The value 127 represents a binary pattern were all seven bits are high, so when using the DEL character on an existing paper tape, all holes are punched and existing data is erased.

I love this, it shows just how old the roots of ASCII are.
