It's been 4 days.
How did people get these email addresses?
I mean, the domain is known.
But was the system that president musk broke really holding back this torrent of abuse and garbage?
Feels like actual email addresses were leaked.
Unless it was a mailing list that was suddenly exposed.

Still seems strange that an email that simply says "yo" suddenly came through as part of the spam.
Feels like email addresses were posted somewhere, and someone jumped on for the lulz. Along with the wall of trolls and abusers jumping on.

I mean, as soon as I link a domain to an IP, I see all sorts of "security" scans turn up. Till then, firewall is pretty quiet.
And if I wildcard direct a domain to an ip, the root gets scanned but any sub domains don't.
I feel email addresses would follow a similar pattern.

Yeh, I did. Just looking out.
It's odd to see an admin user name not doing admin actions.
Most mods/admins have a normal account and a different mod/admin account for when they have to put on their official hat.

The API and pricing bullshit would have had 0 impact to people that (somehow manage to) us the Reddit app.
It affected power users, mods and technically proficient people.

If communities have agreed to take a stance against musk/twitter/Nazis and Reddit overruled that, then I imagine an exodus of people that the API debacle didn't affect.

But I don't imagine it will be huge. Luckily, it will likely be decent people. So Reddit will slip more into a cesspool. And maybe more people will leave

Keep an eye on SteamOS.
Steam is releasing the Steamdeck os as a distro.
If you don't need windows specific applications, I imaging SteamOS is going to wipe the floor with windows.
And I hope a lot of the windows-only apps that everyone seems to rely on will be released (or compatibility layers implemented) for linux

But this is the shit that America has voted for.
It's been writ large since 2016.
And America wanted more of it.
So if I was a career politician, and I saw this bullshit voted in twice, yeh. I'd quit as soon as it was against my ethos. Clearly my ethos isn't aligned with what Americans want.

Restricting access to sensitive information makes sense.
But screeching an organisation (especially one with as much momentum as a government) to a halt to accomplish this is fucking stupid.
This shit needs months, more like years, of planning and specifications to implement without grinding governments to a halt. I guess the only people (I mean, other than the employees) affected by this are the people that can't afford to have employees that solve problems for them.
So, on brand of "crushing the poor & working class"


Edit.
Reassessing, it sounds like the people that oversee the system have been locked out by elons clowns.
Only reason to do that is to exfiltrate data, I guess

Related by the virtue of both being TLAs?
(three letter acronyms)

Also, are you actually the admin of shitjustworks?
Or are you squatting a misleading username?

If the live engineer is crappy and causes feedback or echo (like on the brink of feedback) that goes straight to records. There is no way to fix it in post (well, no decent way, and takes ages to dial in something mostly acceptable ).
If it's a "feel of being live" that's required in post, most lavs are omni so will pick up a bunch of atmo noise. It will likely feel live by virtue of being live. I imagine they have some mics on the camera as well for atmo.

Maybe the records aren't set up for a feed from the sound desk. Maybe the sound desk isn't able to provide a clean feed.
The lav mic is probably wireless, with the receiver direct into a camera. They don't have any gain-before-feedback physics to contend with, so they can gain it however they want.
And if they are doing any spots not in front of the mic on stage (or a mic through the sound desk), they will need a mic anyway. If they always use the same mic, then the sound will be consistent.

Better to have an independent feed.

But who cares, the guy is a piece of shit. Any videos he's gonna put out are not for the benefit of humanity
