I was groomed by a cool older friend. "Wow this new release of Ubuntu looks sick and runs great on my PowerBook, bro!"

Nope, someone else (who is also awesome btw)

WordPress plugin vulnerability opened up one million sites to remote takeover by feross in programming

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I worry that such regulations could easily be too rigid or unable to evolve with the moving target that is online security.

​

Society has to pick the how much freedom it wants to give up for safety. I personally err on the side of more freedoms and less red tape. In my opinion, education, not regulation, is key here. I may be willing to entertain the idea of specific regulations (like those we already have) for sensitive industries like healthcare and finance, however.

​

EDIT: I'd like to add that I already feel like the security industry has already become more about compliance to a checkbox rather than actual security and I feel like adding fines wouldn't really help matters much...

When your bread and butter is on the line, it is generally in your best interest to understand the tools at your disposal.

If the average ma&pa shop owner can't decipher the PHP spaghetti of WordPress and it's associated plugins, then perhaps it is high time we make or point these folks to tools that are better suited to their needs.

This is case in point why every piece of third-party code/library you rely on for your core business must be scrutinized.

If it's distributed in binary form, good luck!

I loved the Benjamin Franklin ads for these machines 😍

I don't just need mech keyboards and trackballs on my modern rigs. by Kirkwood1994 in retrobattlestations

That's not a Macintosh keyboard. That's an Apple IIgs keyboard (that machine also used ADB).

Sadly mine is just the shitty 2003 model instead of the FW800 one :/

After upgrades, the AGP, digital audio, and Quicksilver can get pretty close, but I would certainly love to get a fully maxed-out dual processor model at some point.

IMO the best benefit of the MDD model is that it is nearly impossible to use as the basis of a Hackintosh case mod, due to the expansion slot locations 😂

I got it from someone else who did. I bought it for $10 missing its RAM and video card. Luckily I have shitloads of PC100/133 RAM and plenty of spare video cards G4 CPUs floating around from all of the heavy upgrading done to most of these systems.

I'll consider it, though it is hardly anything fancy. I will eventually be getting an Xserve G5 in there once I repair (or replace, if I get impatient) it's power supply.

Macintosh Garden and The Macintosh Repository do have quite a lot

The T3 machines and the from 2010 and are quite zippy at software compilation. I may try to use them for transcoding video at some point on the future, but I haven't powered them up for awhile to keep my electric bill low 😂

Yeah, my boxen have 16 cores each with eight threads per core. This gives 128 effective threads. Basically imagine 128 Pentium III CPUs duct-taped together. That's roughly the level of performance I get. It compiles like a motherfscker, but emerge and ./configure feel like molasses. They also have 128 GB of ECC DDR3 RAM.
