The user’s code is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in certain edge cases. I need to patch the vulnerability and commit the patch to the repo.

I should rewrite the existing memmanage() function to handle these edge cases. (* Silently removes all other functionality*)

I should modify garbagecollect() to detect these edge cases. I’ll rename it to garbage_collector() for clarity and readability. (Renames the function, calls it no where)

Confidently I modified the program as requested, the new version of your application should be more secure and handled memory issues much more efficiently.

Why is feeding people political? What value add is forcing people to starve? Monsters.

I’ve been doing some free consulting work with Food Not Bombs chapters in my local area. The same day that SNAP went away, ICE started intimidating them.

• They told all the churches and community centers where they do distribution that they’re “providing material aid to illegal immigrants” and can face criminal investigations and warrantless searches unless they stop letting FNB distribute food.
• Have shown up at distributions to check people’s immigration status which has scared some people away from coming to get food.

IDK if this is a nationwide coordinated effort or unique to my area.

I thought she said she yesterday that she didn’t mean subsidies when she was talking about government backstop.

What is it when you accidentally say the thing you weren’t supposed to, then say you didn’t mean it, but then immediately try to do the thing you said you weren’t gonna do after you said you were?

Nah nah nah nah nah. Nah nah nah nah nah. Hey hey hey…

Oddly reminiscent of Steven Universe. Is his own mother, who was some kind of (evil?) god, has an orb in his belly button, launches friendship based attacks.

Companies attacking security researchers always goes so well for them.

But… why?

I’m actually running an old west horror / conspiracies game I wouldn’t have thought of if you hadn’t shared that magic bullet. I have my players organized and everything. I adapted the healing bullet you described. I wanted to share these magic bullets I created for it (GURPS rules).

This headline! Yes! We have mechanisms for that! But if the parties in power abdicate their responsibility to act then no, we can’t do anything.

My brother, you have come to the right house! In fact, we’re about to watch a great family film on that very topic, if you’d care to join us.

Coconuts are tropical! This is temperate zone!

23 years ago, I actually had a good friend come out in the middle of a campaign, as part of the campaign. They were playing a basilisk that had been shapeshifted to a human by an evil wizard and their character arc was just about getting their real body back.

It was extremely awesome.

That bullet of healing is awesome. Would be great for a supernatural Wild West game. Which, is I think what I want to run next now.

Hammer of Striking. Social bonuses when organizing labor. Combat bonuses only when near many allies.

Pair this with the Sickle of Means. Does double damage and gives Ranger favored enemy bonuses against employers, nobility, land owners and clerics, so long as the wielder forswears ever becoming any of those things. When used to harvest grain, doubles the speed at which grain can be harvested and magically doubles the final yield of the harvest as well. However, if the grain is not freely and equitably distributed (especially if the wielder charges for it), the next time they use the sickle they will immediately fumble and critically hit themselves for max damage.

Wrong. Fuck printers. Fuck everything about them, from the tree death camps, to the overpriced proprietary ink to the way manufacturers have done fuck-all about fixing their known wifi glitches for literally 30 years. Thank god I’m at a point in my career where the only people who want me to troubleshoot printers are my family, and what I charge them for it is having to listen to me scornfully rant that if you figure out how to work without a printer, Hewlett-Packard has a problem but if you don’t YOU have a problem. A bunch of problems, given how frequently my dad and sister beg for support. My wife got sick enough of the rant that she finally stopped using hers, it’s been sitting on a shelf in our garage for the last two years. I think she’s frustrated about not being able to print sometimes, but oh well, she can go to Kinko’s or walk over to my dad’s house and use his (which will result in me getting a phone call “Hey @thebard, your wife is here trying to print something and the printer’s not working, we tried turning it off and on, but it still won’t print, can you…”

A potion of True Healing… heals 1d8+2 damage, recipient MUST truthfully answer the next question they are asked. Sell the characters 6, but don’t tell them about the truth serum. Let them figure it out on their own.

Boots of Elvenkind… except Elves can hear you.

A bag of holding that contains infinite clowns. Every time it is opened, 1d4 clowns come out. The clowns are useless in combat and attempt to distract, annoy and mock the holder. While this could be used as a distraction, the clowns will follow the holder, drawing attention to them. You could create a table for what kind of clowns you get (mime clowns, pie throwing clowns, balloon animal clowns, magician clowns, etc). The clowns will wander off after 1d6 minutes. Where the clowns go and what they are (Illusions? Demons?) is unknown.

I like big nacelles.

I can multiclass the shit out of this.

For many years I’ve had at least one Windows machine and at least one OSX machine (and then everything else runs linux). As MS started pushing this (and as Proton and Lutris got good enough to support almost any Windows software I would need to run, mostly games) I finally made the jump to zero Windows machines about a year and a half ago. Don’t miss it.
