Would people from fedi be down to play on an F-Zero 99 lobby? Maybe there's enough players here to actually fill a decent chunk of it?

My company has just announced that there will be a round of layoffs soon. They just laid off a bunch of C-levels. They're giving us the opportunity to "opt in" to "workforce reduction" with a promise of three months severance.
It's been pretty tumultuous here, lately, to be honest, and I'm considering it.
But, I've got a wife and four kids to take care of, and I've never willingly left a job when I didn't have another one already lined up. And we've got good benefits (healthcare and dental) right now, so I really don't want to give that up.
Maybe if I had something lined up with similar pay and benefits, I could do it.
So, I'm looking for any recommendations. I'm a #PHP developer (of roughly twenty years), who has been doing a lot of #golang for the past year, and I've gotten very proficient at that as well.
I'm looking for a US-based company, and a Principal/Staff/Senior Developer role.
Anybody have any good leads? My website is at https://danielrayjones.com, and I can be emailed at dan@danielrayjones.com.

👣THE PHILOSOPHER'S BLOSSOMS🌸
The Path of Philosophy runs between Nanzen-ji and Ginkaku-ji.
It came to prominence after the philosophers and Kyōto University professors Nishida Kitarō (西田幾多郎 1870-1945) and Tanabe Hajime (田辺元 1885-1962) used the trail as an exercise route.

I can't seem to follow (or even find) accounts on shitposter.world, so, if we were mutuals while you were on SPC, please follow me and I'll follow back if I'm able.
Sorry and thanks.
I'm getting tired of the Internet.

So, openssh backdoor through a path applied by some to make it work with systemd, which is vulnerable because of a compromise of the LZMA / xz code.
Quick test on a #Slackware 15 machine:
$ xz --version
xz (XZ Utils) 5.2.5
liblzma 5.2.5
$ sudo /usr/bin/ldd /usr/sbin/sshd | grep -ic lzma
0
And of course no systemd to be found.
I am having a bit of fun trying to (ahem) 'improve' the test script posted on some mailing lists, but I think Slackware is not vulnerable.

if anyone's got a good place for an alt where writing primarily takes place, i would love to know and ALSO if anyone has recommendations on a good site to post original written works, that would be cool
@privacybrowser Does Privacy Browser PC support connecting through a proxy?
Quería recomendarle espacios en Madrid, pero todos los que encuentro parecen de ínfima calidad o están abandonados. Si tenéis sugerencias, poneos en contacto con él (y mencionadme a mí para que me entere yo también). Gracias.

Is it bad form to reply to followers-only posts? I ask because I usually don't get any response from the other person, be it a reply or an acknowledgement of any kind.
I hate the _Fire Emblem_ series with a passion! In all their games there's always one battle where difficulty takes a huge exponential leap and I'm sick of it. “Oh, so you've managed to keep your whole party alive up until now? Let''s try this new approach where you have to fight several bosses so powerful that, in sheer desperation, you'll have to sacrifice your friends if you want to move on.” “Oh, you managed to beat that with only a few losses? And you thought you could go back to base and regroup somehow? Why don't we take your powers away and have you fight another battle just for the thrill of it? But this time with dragons!”
I'm not fond of people who say: “Don't reinvent the wheel.” I say: “Yes, reinvent the wheel! Maybe yours is better. Maybe your work leads to some awesome, unexpected discovery on roundness or friction or aerodynamics.”
Regardless of your opinion on its outcome, this is how a referendum should be presented to the people:
I'll believe an LLM is on the road to AI when, instead of bullshitting its way through the conversation, it asks: “What do you mean by that?”
Whenever someone tells you: “Why do you need so many partitions? There's no reason to have more than a root one, another for /boot and a third one for swap. And even that may be overkill.”, just reply: “I know this guy whose ass has been saved many times by having separate /opt, /usr/local, /var/log, /var/www, /root and /home partitions, so, when things went wrong and he was forced to reinstall, the data on those partitions was always safe.”
Seriously, it makes no sense to me to have essentially _no_ partitions. That seems to me like Windows thinking.

Direct action is the insistence, when faced with structures of unjust authority, on acting as if one is already free.
