Rarer is better, but I still think the right rate of misbehaviors on the level of social engineering to put malicious packages into a public registry is still zero.

Tore a hole in my tire on a bump today. Only thing on hand: a sticker I made for Yves. Stuck it inside the tire and rode home on it. Yves died last year from cancer. Today his sticker saved my ride. Weirdest place I ever pictured one of his stickers ending up. 💫 🚴♂️⚡ Related

In case anyone else trips over this: There seems to be an IPv6 routing loop between us-west-2 and the network Let's Encrypt sends HTTP challenges from; this is causing renewals to fail. I've emailed the network engineering contact listed in ARIN whois. Related

Their words
my expectation is what we would see from then is that the rate of problematic behavior would decrease uh and would just keep decreasing and decrease at a pretty fast rate while simultaneously the worst things that the AIS would sometimes do would get more extreme, more egregious, and more scary.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
Got it
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
