Telco's used to put parts of their infrastructure under ground for this reason. Data-centers can do it too.

Javascript can query chrome extensions [1] and much more [2].

[2] - https://browserleaks.com/javascript


This blows my mind. What good reason is there for giving javascript such permissions by default? This should at the minimum trigger an explicit permission request from the user.

Is it a good idea to create a new Linux distro in 2026?

What is the goal? Fun, learning, solving a new problem that has not been addressed? I think one has to know why they are doing something before they can rationalize the time and resources they will be spending. What would bring developers and users to this new distribution?


They left off html cgi form. Generate the email on the web page and the server sends the email after performing some basic sanity checks and anti-spam on the form and web server itself such as solving some CSS puzzle or winning a game of DOOM.

I might even start a little closer. Take off from Texas, orbit earth a few times and land in the Mojave Desert. Have robots build his Mars city there first to prove it out. Let humans live in it for a few years. Optimize and revise.

Any kind of test environment closer to home is helpful.

Notably the Starship system takes at least 12x the launches to put a payload into deep space than it takes to put a payload into LEO.

With those economics it might sense to build large structures in LEO, such as a flashy space hotel or a simulated lunar or martian environment patterned after a very small O'Neill colony -- recent research seems to show people can tolerate a higher rotation rate than O'Neill thought so a small Bernal sphere made entirely from terrestrial materials looks possible.


Nice. I would love to have a reputable clean source for PDA (penta deca arginate). Some countries have awesome med-spa's or med-bars that are essentially coffee shops where one can get whatever injections they want such as NAD+, peptides, others. That would be a great business opportunity for the US. People could go there for GLP peptides, insulin and whatever else they desire.

> That would be a great business opportunity for the US.

They already exist here. The restrictions only seemed to be on compounding pharmacies. But the US has "med-spa" and "rejuvenation center" chains that offer them; I'm guessing at significant markup compared to ordering from random chat-app or website. Since it was a "grey" area who knows if those centers are more trustworthy about their supply sources.


I was operating under the assumption that if they are being promoted by the government that they would be less taboo and states would be less likely to put pressure on such businesses thus allowing them to flourish. If I utter the word peptide in my state people act like I am asking about cocaine whereas some countries it's treated just like a Starbucks.

That probably depends on which state you're talking about. The FDA's reputation isn't great in a lot of places these days.

wondering if there's a startup opportunity for lab testing peptide batches somehow

doubt current supplement labs would be up to the task of certifying things injectable

very risky to bypass gut digestion safety in the human body with unknowns


I would expect whomever does the certification for insulin and GLP's would be up for it. existing peptides on the market not counting all the peptides people eat daily in foods

It already exists. There's no reason anyone would know if they never ventured into the backwaters of PEDs for sport, but third-party labs are out there which will send you back a full analysis of any sample you send it, and reputable sellers anyone bothers to actually buy from will reimburse the testing expense provided you publish the results on any number of web forums that exist for the purpose of vetting these sellers on quality and purity of their products. It's nothing like buying heroin from the street or at least it hasn't been since 20 years ago.

Also US MedSpas and other boutique pseudo not-quite-medical clinics will already inject you with just about any peptide other than insulin as well as NAD+ if you feel you need it for some reason. You don't, but they'll still do it.


Claude is already able to find CVEs on expert level.

Does it fix them as fast as it finds them? Bonus if it adds snarky code comments


I'm more interested if it fixes CVEs faster than it introduces them.

That too. Honestly I am expecting that if AI is such the wonder-miracle that people act like it is that it should be able to spot complex back-doors that require multiple services that look benign when red teamed but when used in conjunction provide the lowest CPU ring access along with all the obfuscated undocumented CPU instructions and of course all the JTAG debugging functions of all the firmware.

1) I logged onto LOIS BBS daily Central Coast of California. I was on a Commodore 64. I forgot what program I used, it came with the 300 baud modem cartridge and loaded from a 5.25" floppy disk.

2) I discovered LOIS from an IRL friend BlackDragon, RIP. The sister site in northern California was TREX.

3) LOIS was used by many people in the county. The operator / owner Pete a.k.a. Communicator had phone lines in multiple NPA/NSX that forwarded to a bank of lines in his room. He had multi split-66 blocks in his room with LED indicators that the line was ringing or in use. He did a good job of keeping the wiring neat or neater than I imagined it would be. IIRC there was something like 30 phone lines into the system. RIP Pete and many others from that time. After some time the site was connected to the internet via telnetd but I don't know it's current state other than the domain and its associated DNS NS domain appear to still exist but telnetd is down and the A records are gone. At least half of my IRL friends from that site have since passed away. Prior to that I was in a CB radio club called the Greybeards and needless to say most of them passed away long long ago.

4) The vibe varied day to day. People talked about whatever was on their minds. Long running D&D games were popular. Social and sexual topics were popular. Relationship issues were popular. But really it was whatever people were dealing with at the time. Hanging out at places that served coffee all day were popular.

5) There was not much discussion of programming. It was a social platform and we had gatherings at pizza places all the time. Pizza places with beer was a mandatory requirement.

For some idea of the overall vibe just watch all 4 seasons of Stranger Things minus the supernatural bits. It's surprisingly spot on.


Is there any way to ban it for adults too? I have some relatives that could touch grass.

Work In Progress. Once enough people are redirected to upload their state ID and prove they are an adult that will turn some percentage away from the platforms. One will be left with AI to have discussions with. Even AI may eventually get lonely.
