@graf I will probably be fully locked-in sooner than later. I've lost function of my arms now, @Death holds the smoke so I can take a drag. Speech was less than a week later. P and I :hackerman: so I could. This post took 15 minutes to write, and soon, even this won't work. Green paper on the door so medical team know my wishes.

@graf @w0rm @p I professionally find security bugs for large American corporations who paid sixteen Indians to make Java apps to process electronic medical records.

I assure you there is nothing I havenโ€™t seen before.

The recent mastodon issues have been pretty bad. An arbitrary user email+IP info disc was recent, and before that there was a pretty gnarly SSRF.

@graf @w0rm @p I've never contributed to Mastodon (or Pleroma/whatever) because the languages they use disinterest me, and the only Go fedi project is run by crazies.

I've used Go (and zsh) almost exclusively for half a decade and I've grown into quite a happy rut.

I wasn't bothered by the lack of generics, but even that's taken care of (though I think it's a tad ugly).

> lets be real, all interpreted languages are dog shit slow.

Haskell's compiled, but find a Haskell program that is faster than the equivalent awk.

Not the case, no. Ruby isn't even that slow, but Rails does retarded shit like blowing out the method dispatch cache multiple times per *request*, it's all factoryfactories. I *just* said "things written in the same language that do not use Rails". I do not think you know how goddamn retarded Rails is. Ruby's a great language if you're not an idiot; unfortunately, it got popular with idiots, and I watched this happen, having used it before Rails existed. (Luckily, most of the idiots left for JS, but a handful of total dipshits have stuck around.)

> bash & /dev/tcp

bash is terrible and their "/dev/tcp" bullshit is terrible and netcat is not hard.

@p @w0rm @graf I never said "compiled languages are always fast", I said all interpreted languages are slow.

> bash is terrible

I mean, I use zsh, but when you want a reverse shell you have to use what's there, and bash usually is. Sometimes for one reason or another it can't be done with bash, but most systems that have bash also have perl. IIRC most distro distributions of nginx include perl as a runtime dependency.
