I actually hope for a spaceship full of billionaires on the way to Mars. What possibly could go wrong?

It's her cardinal sin. /s

In all honesty, I fear that this is somehow her strongest weakness, because I fear the prejudices too many voters may have. I also hope that her campaign won't focus on the fact that she is femal, black and asian. Because these attributes does not qualify her for the job, nor - more importantly - disqualifies her for it. I hope that the majority of the voters in the key states see this as I do it and vote for her.

Thanks for your reply. This extends "smashing the stack for fun and profit" in an important way.

That's what they all say πŸ˜‰

Jokes aside: have fun.

This is an old paper that it explains the basics: https://www.eecs.umich.edu/courses/eecs588/static/stack_smashing.pdf

Today there are a lot of mitigations where the steps of the paper don't work anymore, but the general ideas should be still valid. I'll hope you find the example you are looking for in there.

On another note: What is your intention? And can I participate 😈

The crowdstrike f*-up is so bad it travels back in time. That's my best guess

Maybe AI can help here, since it is trained on stack overflow and co. ;)

I mean it's roundabout 50 years that we let market forces solve this problem. How many years until we see that it actually works? Do we have this years left? What happens if it, mammon forbid, it actually can't solve climate change.

That's up to all of us to counter by promoting the good solutions instead, not of just despairing and begging politicians to fix this (they won't, they'll promote monopolies instead)

That was always the case. Having said that, I'll appreciate your enthusiasm and that you share this work.

This is good news indeed.

But I see the same problems as with email, chat etc. You can selfhost almost everything. But too few people are doing it. You can use Linux as your Desktop and at least 4% are doing it. Still too few if you ask me.

And if most of the people keep using the commercial and closed source options over the self hosted one, then I see this concentration of power. Additionally, there is the risk of regulatory capture, where big companies may try to at least hinder self hosting due to (what I consider) made up risks.

However, its good that there are currently such good open source option. I hope they will grow and become the defacto standard.
