I upgraded from an fx6300 to a Ryzen R5 1600 when they launched, and that was mind blowing. I can’t imagine what going from an fx6300 to an R5 in 2025 would feel like. That processor has been released 13 years before you upgrade, that’s impressive.

I might have misunderstood the comment I replied to, and the username led me to think it was intentionally snarky because of the thumbnail. In that case yes, it is extremely ironic.

As an aside, I taken some training and certification exams from a vendor that’s pretty highly respected in my industry. When I started taking their courses they provided student interaction and lab help from employees through a forum. They deprecated that and moved entirely to Discord in like 2021. Now it’s a flood of the same questions asked over and over again, and it doesn’t feel like an extension of the learning process when you have to ask a question or get help. I hate everything about it.

These people offer training courses up to and including shit like security mitigation bypasses, complex heap manipulations, and 64-bit kernel exploitation. They are more than capable of rolling their own self-hosted platform, and if their students can’t figure out how to use a forum idk what they’re doing in the course in the first place.

It’s a blog post.

It’s an archive site, what form fields would you be POSTing?

It has to have been massive. That first summer it was out felt like pre-release PUBG, everyone was playing it.

I’m a huge proponent of LaTeX also, but I feel like it’s not that widely used outside of specific professional niches. The biggest issue I have with Word (and similar software) is the content generation and typesetting being forced into the same interface. It just breaks everything all the time. I’d much happier using word if it only allowed you to type in an Edit mode, and only allowed you to change fonts and layout and stuff in a View mode, and the View mode changes weren’t reflected live in the Edit mode.

Or not exposed to the internet. Maybe the owner pulled the repo previously, left their weekend project alone for a bit, then came back to it after all this media attention.

Honestly not surprised. Organizations have patch and vulnerability management procedures, people just run shit until they’re prompted to update, and if they git cloned they’ll probably never be prompted.

If the DM filters treat people with mutual, large, public servers as people you may know and does not filter those chats, most users will probably be like you and be largely unimpacted. If it treats people with those types of mutual servers as people you may not know and does filter those DMs, Discord is shooting themselves in the foot. 99% of my Discord usage is finding people to squad with in online games, and no one like staying in voice channels in the official game servers.

The wording is eerily similar to what a friend of mine was telling me during a meth bender.
