Layer 4 Weaponization Risk: Dual-Use Infrastructure for Weapon Guidance & Military Coordination (Issue # 1065)

"Problem Statement

While Issue #1063 proposes a comprehensive four-layer mesh architecture (BLE + LoRa + Tor + Nostr), it does not adequately address a critical security vulnerability: the passive background relay infrastructure (Layer 4) creates an invisible command-and-control network that can be exploited for weapon guidance, military coordination, and kinetic operations — regardless of encryption.

This is fundamentally different from the timing/triangulation vulnerabilities discussed in #1063, which assume adversaries trying to ... "

We're starting to see increasing maintainer burden in one of our (smallish) open source projects due to GenAI / LLM code and comment "contributions" (or rather: encumbrances)

As a result we want to ban those altogether. Any tips on how, specifically, to do this? Is there some metadata we can put on our repo? Do we just put it in the readme and in the contributing guidelines? Do we add an issue template / PR template? All of the above?

Add "I Don't Want To See Or Be Seen By Straight People" Option #9692 Closed @neonpixii Description neonpixii opened on Jan 1, 2019 · edited by neonpixii Pitch This is already a feature on some of the biggest social media websites in the world, including OK Cupid. It's an incredibly useful feature that prevents straight people from being able to send any interaction to me at all and when a social media website has this as a feature its the first thing i enable. It simply prevents straight people from being able to see your online presence at all, and likewise prevents me as a gay person from being able to see straight people's online presence. Motivation I do not want to be reminded of straight people's existence. I do not want to see straight people. I do not want to interact with straight people. I don't want straight people to see, favorite, boost, or reply to my posts. I am dead serious, this is a real feature that real social networks have, and i really want it on Mastodon too.

https://github.com/pbeens/Video-Container-Title-Cleaner

Alt...

Screenshot of a desktop application window titled “Video Container Title Cleaner v0.2.0.” The interface has a light gray background with rounded white panels. At the top left, a large bold heading reads “Video Container Title Cleaner.” Below it, a description states: “Drop video files or folders to scan recursively, inspect container title metadata, and remove container titles in bulk.” On the top right are two buttons: a gray “Support” button and a yellow “Buy Me a Coffee” button. In the main section, a dashed rectangular drop zone on the left says, “Drop videos or folders here” and beneath it, “or click to choose files/folders.” To the right are three buttons: a green “Inspect Titles,” a gray “Clear,” and a red “Remove Container Titles.” Below these buttons is a checkbox labeled “Hide videos with no detected container title,” and the status text “No files selected.” The lower half of the window contains a large panel titled “Detected Container Title,” with “0 files” shown on the right side of the panel header. Inside the empty results area, centered text reads: “Drop files or folders, then click Inspect Titles.” The layout is clean and minimal, with clear visual grouping of controls and a large blank area intended for listing detected titles.

I strongly recommend exporting the files into their own subfolder, not your Daily Notes folder. But that's up to you.

So far 19/85 repositories moved from #github to #codeberg

Each needs small amounts of work.

- Sort git hub pasted images in README
- Migrate over, including issues and maybe wiki
- Add Claude refusal to new README.
- Delete old repository.
- Make replacement with README linking to new repository.
- Reset URL on any cloned copies.
- Check all submodule usage in all other repositories, update URL, and commit.
- Also update some internal Makefiles in some places for new URL.

A gradual process.

@david_chisnall I have only one minor criticism of GitHub's highlighting, and I don't know whether it is (or should be) fixable.

In cases such as the one pictured below, it's necessary to scroll/page down hugely to bring a tiny change into sight.

In other words, 'Show Diff' shows much, much more than the diff.

A wild guess: maybe specific to AsciiDoc in GitHub, or the FreeBSD Documentation Project's use of AsciiDoc in cases such as this.

How the @#$% does #Hugo (static website generator) work with Github? Hundreds of pages reference #github but I still can't find how that works. Almost every Hugo help site says "add this reference to [a? your?] github repo..." but don't explain what the heck is happening or why I need that... why do I need a github repo to have a website somewhere else?

Clearly I don't need it; I have a hugo site up and running, and at no point was github involved.... except nothing would work until I initalized (?) my hugo directory (or the executable? IDK) on my webhost's server using a git command. For some reason.

I seriously don't understand why (or, more importantly, how) Hugo needs github. Right now dozens or hundreds of help sites seem like they're telling me that I need to have a shrine to my cat in my neighbor's house or else my blender won't work.

Lots of references to using github submodules and plenty of people saying "No! You fool! Don't do that!" and other people saying "Ackshully you should make your website a github module." Then other sites (including Hugo's official site) saying I should make my website into a #go module somehow for some reason... and I can't do that unless I have a github repo somewhere? Which is also maybe a Go module? Yet more sites saying I don't need to do that if I use some fancy scripts to fool something (my Hugo installation? My github repo? IDK) into thinking my Hugo site is or has a github repo...

If anyone would like to explain this to me like I'm literally 12 years old I'm very open to this. Every help site I've seen for weeks just assumes I understand some basic things that I don't remotely understand, like what the connection is between Hugo and github, how important it is, how it works, etc.

Understanding that I already have a functioning Hugo site, but apparently still need a github repo (maybe?) to do anything more interesting with it.

I know I'm using Mastodon as tech support a lot lately, but honestly y'all are more helpful than most search engines for some things.

I keep wondering how many people managed to fully leave #GitHub. (for a nice summary of common reasons to leave check out https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/)

I mean, even if you move your own projects to something like #Codeberg, you’ll still likely have to interact with projects hosted on GitHub. If Musk didn't manage to make everyone abandon Twitter, I'm not sure what are the odds of a mass exodus from GitHub these days.

I've been asked a few times in the past week to use #GitHub, and I'd like to be helpful, but I keep seeing Renée Good's face and it would seem disrespectful somehow.

Actually… Anyone else is being rate-limited on GitHub for completely normal browsing behavior lately?

If so, please hit me up. If this is a wider issue, I might see if I can delve a bit into it.

Edit: it would also be interesting to know if you were signed in when the rate limit hit you. 👀

1. click on a GitHub issue link in my search results
2. click on a pull request link in that issue comment thread
3. ???
4. PROFIT!1!!

These were the only two actions related to GitHub originating from my IP address over the last several hours.

This is bullshit.

I am going to bet the rate limits got bumped due to LLM scraping. Fscking clowns. 🤡

GitHub is not a serious code foundry.
Microso^WMicroslop is not a serious company.
