at that point it’s not about speech anymore, it’s about actual coordinated violence, on a company’s network. and that company can be held liable for facilitating it, if the right lawyer was involved.

and in principle i agree that ISPs should advocate for the speech rights of their customers — but the problem is that KF and the sites in its locus exist to incite violence against the people they target

it’s honestly strange — fiberhub used to be a very good provider, focusing on energy efficiency and doing things as right as they could afford to do them. and then the trump train rolled through.

Additional targets:
Their host is @fiberhub, it is the only peer for AS397702 for the 103.114.191.0/24 network which hosts their git tea instance (which can't be protected by cloudflare)
Their abuse email is:

If you're looking for an easy-to-use caching CDN with great performance across the globe, I can personally recommend . They sponsor with caching and proxying for our installation images and package repositories, and they are super friendly and helpful!

And they are enabled by , who have proudly hosted their content for many years. Yes, hosted, the "we are just a proxy" excuse doesn't fly when you actively host error pages that mock trans suicide and cache all the dox and harassment campaigns on Kiwi Farms.

This isn't just some random internet forum going after a streamer. This is a website that has driven prominent open source developers to commit suicide, and actively targeted many more. They are relentless in their targeting and will go after anyone they feel like.

I know most people follow me for Asahi Linux and infosec hot takes, but please boost the #DropKiwifarms RTs/tweets. These people have gone after myself and other open source developers. They have caused several suicides, and many others are scared. They actively hurt all of us.

notably, alpine with kde running under wayland and firefox running under MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 is able to display 2160p60 video from youtube without dropping frames. not bad for a PC that is designed to go into a factory.

There is no business case to continue to provide services to KiwiFarms. It is an explicitly political decision, and one that should be seen as a moral stain on the industry.

Oklahoma Senator announced he plans to launch legislation to ban medical transition up to the age of 21!
As expected, we will start seeing gender transition bans up to the age of 21, then 25, then total bans.
This is genocide against trans people.

So in a social system where the produce/producers exist under a decentralized managerial network, unleashing fiercely hierarchical predators strongly moves the system toward much greater variation & value. ie chief execs (public/private) should dominate their admins (agencies/HR)

I have been saying for years that Alpine and Kubernetes aren't for everyone. What I don't do is write a clickbait article while having a professional conflict of interest on the topic, especially when the boss is spending marketing $$$ to slag the topic.

I try to be positive and post positive things (and cat pics), but when a company is constantly publishing FUD about a free software project I helped to start, I am going to address it, every time.

is it *all* about the money? well, no. of course not. but we live in a capitalist society and money is a good tool (among others which should be used) for a company to show their appreciation.

meanwhile, where i work, the company is treating everyone (and their families) to a holiday (with some hacking) in baja california, as a sign of appreciation for how hard we have all worked this year to get two major products off the ground

The C++ Foundation board and ISO can kick you from the C++ committee for retweeting this tweet:
ISO and the C++ Foundation Board think having a rapist and a sexual harasser (different people) on the committee is ok, but God help you if you retweet.
Quote Tweet
Well, it was a good run, but WG21 is basically dead now that most folks can't participate freely.
But that's what ISO, INCITS, and WG21's old guard wanted all along isn't it? :)
Oh I guess this tweet counts as a "social media attack".

Agree Alpine has operational overhead, but do the options you described not also introduce operational complexity? Like slimming out hidden dependencies?

Thanks, but I'll keep using alpine. It'll be way smaller, have way less CVEs, the packages are more straight forward (no unnecessary dependencies), it has no broken packages because of the missing systemd within the container and it doesn't randomly delete files like docker slim.
