yes, sorry

They do this by setting cookie "redesign_optout=true" for www.reddit.com (and then using that domain).

Also, fallocate+chmod is racy: between the two calls, an attacker could open the file, and then keep it open until next reboot. OTOH, mkswap creates the swap file with the correct permissions straight away.

The --size and --file options are relatively new, though: they were added in util-linux v2.40, released in 2024.

I feel like if there's a malicious user (or program) on your system with the necessary access for this, you have much bigger problems.



You can use www.reddit.com (yes, this domain, not old.reddit.com) with the old UI if you set cookie "redesign_optout=true".


Thanks for that tip. Works like a charm.


It's a soft keyword: https://docs.python.org/3.15/reference/lexical_analysis.html...

The HN submission title is a garden-path sentence:

Hackers Had a Live Feed of Every ID Verification Company Scanned

(Huh? How do you scan a company?)

The original title is easier to parse:

Hackers Had A Live Feed Of Every ID This Verification Company Scanned


Thank you, it was very confusing indeed, the HN post should be fixed to something directly clearer

Sadly the original domain has been usurped.


The lack or determinism is irrelevant. It's trivial to make an LLM deterministic (certianly much easier than to make a human deterministic!), but that wouldn't make it any more trustworthy.


When you are ingesting potential toxins determinism is crucial. You have a random chance of dying. Facts matter.
