I really hope our Government seeks out all these terrorists and Iran boosters on Hacker News who work in high tech. It’s a supply chain risk and none of them should be working.

The headline says "US and Israel". Why are you all focusing on Israel?

Earlier headlines did just state Israel, US involvement became evident somewhat later.

And also--before Linux--SCO Xenix and then SCO Unix. It was finally possible to run a real Unix on a desktop or home PC. A real game changer. I paid big $$$ (for me at the time) to get SCO Xenix for my 386 so I could have my own Unix system.

Xenix 2.1 could run on the IBM PC XT with Intel 8088 in late 1983, IIRC, and even before that on the Altos 586 which had MMU as an external chip.

For that matter, the "second" version of UNIX ran on a PDP-11/20 with no memory protection or MMU, and there were a few versions after intended to run on similar hardware (LSX, MINI-UNIX).

The PDP-11's MMU option was closer to the 8088's segmentation model I think, but I've never coded either, so dunno really. It does seem like it was possible to port "PDP-11 UNIX" to a lot more platforms than would get "VMUNIX".

Don't forget Venix. It was the first true Unix that could run on a stock IBM PC, and beat Xenix on that platform by months.

It was a Mr. Beast staffer who was insider-trading on the second case. See: https://thehill.com/business/5756511-mrbeast-editor-fined-in...

The "Maker" movement and "vibe coding" have changed the way I do things. I 3D print several things a month, and now I make PC boards with KiCad, etc. It's an incremental change, but a change nonetheless

I don’t want to be attacked by some vigilante for using speech to text glasses.

Never use a “free” domain is a better rule. Even if there were no technical or administrative issues, nobody trusts them.

I could also buy that the free domains were ran up by scammers which could have caused some of the hair trigger Safe Browsing denylisting.

Bluesky has already turned evil. Even though nobody’s on it, I use Mastodon

I'm not on Bluesky, but "evil" is the kind of unqualified hyperbole that makes me curious what I'm missing out on.
