Go to the actual source and you will see he posted an update and new article.

He ended up getting his account and data back.

I read the abstract but I'm still a bit confused. Will this help people who have down syndrome? Or is it a way to help future pregnancies?

I used to have multiple recruiters reach out to me daily on LinkedIn regarding software engineering positions.

And this was for multiple years.

That hasn't been the case for the last 3 or 4 months.

None of this surprises me and it shouldn't for others.

Anonymized DNSCrypt and Oblivious DoH are designed to keep your IP address hidden from resolvers, and there are DNS relays located all over the world. If you truly care about privacy, use anonymized DNS, not DoH.

Are there any guides on how to set this up?

I'm currently using pi-hole configured to use DoT through Cloudflare.

I'm not them, but it does straight up say in hashmap.c that the code was copied from https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/hashmap.c, which is under the GPL license.

Yea I saw that after looking it up. I wasn't questioning the statement, but me personally I wouldn't look at each file and look for license violations. That's all.

By the following very short garden path:

1. How silly to write such a thing in C from scratch. Such a project will invariably invent half of Lisp in order to have the right kind of infrastructure for doing this and that.

2. Let's look for some of it up and down the tree. Oh look, there is a bitset and hashmap, see? I don't see test cases for these anywhere; is it original work from this project or battle-tested code taken from elsewhere?

3. Open hashmap.c ...

GPL violation found in half a minute.

Yea I'm not criticizing you. Was just genuinely curious. Thanks

You've used GPL2 code taken from git (hashmap.c) in your Apache 2.0 project.

I'm curious, how did you notice this?

Do you have a scanner that checks these sorts of things or is it something that you are passionate about?

> Related to that, the Unix philosophy of simple tools that do one job and do it well, also applies here a bit. More typical workflow would be a utility to tarball something, then another utility to gzip it, then finally another to encrypt it. Leading to file extensions like .tar.gz.pgp, all from piping commands together.

I do this for my own files, but half of the time I zip something, it’s to send it to a Windows user, in which case zip is king.

fyi latest version of Windows 11 supports native opening of 7zip files
