Good point! Thanks for pointing that out.

But the things doing the testing could be bots instead of human actors, so it may very well be that no human does in fact know.

That is the real dead Internet theory: everything from production to malicious actors to end users are all ai scripts wasting electricity and hardware resources for the benefit of no human.

Obviously hand coded. After all, he just discovered that there are people, or more probably bots, who will use open resources for their own uses.

This makes a really good point. If the U.S. government’s security has been breached, which apparently it has, then no other nation will trust their data to be valid at all.

Increasing the CPU optimization by 0.02% does seem crazy to me. If you’re going to spend time working on something, make it worthwhile. Also, isn’t while(true) {print(money)} Microsoft, Apple and Amazon:s business model?

That sounds more like Gentoo. With Arch, you at least get the foundation with plumbing and electrical run to the site.
