You have write access to this git repo as a first time contributor. You are likely the owner of this repo as well.

You made a pull request not from your own fork, but from a separate branch, https://github.com/Ataraxy-Labs/weave/pull/9


He also was pushing code to a branch on the same repo three weeks ago: https://github.com/Ataraxy-Labs/weave/commits/fix/utf8-panic... but is acting in this post like he just discovered the project.


Yup he works at Plane, and he used weave in merge conflicts there which helped him, he just told about it. He has been contributing and using weave since then.


Yeah he is the other contributor to the repo.


I delayed upgrade to IPadOS 26.3 til reddit users shared on /r/ipad that its performance was on par with older version now. However, once I upgrade, the performance issues and bugs are noticeable instantly. For example,

1. switching between different browser tabs has a sub-second delay(est 200ms) 2. a tab in system settings menu takes 200ms to load 3. maximizing a video doesn't always work(sometimes it leaves a big white space on top) 4. double tabbing a keyboard key often triggers zooming into the browser page

I couldn't believe these issues haven't been fixed after 3 subversions.


> Notably, the first scan of this URL on the VirusTotal platform occurred in late September, by a user from Taiwan.

Could this be the attacker? The scan happened before the hack was first exposed on the forum.


You would be a dumbass to do that, because virustotal allows security researchers to see submitted samples/urls. The last thing you want to do is to draw attention to your C&C server.


It's not uncommon to use VT and other sandbox tools as a proxy indicator for if your attacks have tripped defenders and tooling.


It even censors contents related to GDR. I asked a question about travel restriction mentioned in Jenny Erpenbeck's novel Kairos, it displayed a content security warning as well.


> Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not.

Though it's an interesting quote, I have to disagree. The reindeers on St. Matthew Island continued to multiply and depleted their food resources without any predators, until an extreme snow storms struck. They don't "instinctively" develops a natural equilibrium.

This. Mammals are (generally) K-selected species, meaning they invest heavily in raising their young. In the absence of natural pressures, mammals reproduce like crazy until they bump up against the environment's carrying capacity. Humans are not unique at all in our tendency to expand! It's just that we have opposable thumbs and language and tools to help us boost the carrying capacity.


Yeah 'instincts' are in real world just enough external pressure and death to keep the equilibrium going, whatever grisly happens behind the curtains.

Hunters hunt as much as they can. Wolves regularly kill 10 or 20 sheep while eating one if they get the chance. Foxes do similar stuff with chickens. Nature is brutal and without empathy.


Housecats let outdoors often don’t even eat what they hunt, because they have a steady supply of their favorite food in the house. They just hunt and kill because they are furry little murder machines. They really shouldn’t be let outside unsupervised.


> They really shouldn’t be let outside unsupervised.

Alternatively, get them a collar with a little bell, and let them try (and always fail) to hunt.


I guess the odd deaf squirrel wasn’t likely to last long anyway. A bell could work to keep them from stalking. They can still run, leap, and ambush. It seems a bell should at least greatly mitigate the issue. I might say usually rather than always. To be fair, though, supervision won’t stop them every time either.


> They can still run, leap, and ambush.

Whenever they do, there is a little tingle tingle, whatever tiny little movement they're trying to do. They end up unable to catch anything basically, I literally never witnessed one of our cats catching anything growing up, nor them bringing any "gifts".


They don't develop this equilibrium "instinctively" (something exclusively inside them) but they do "naturally" (helped by the environment). Now the reindeer weren't really in their natural environment, they were put in very constrained, special conditions, with little flexibility, little time to adapt, and no ability to shape that environment. The environment forced them to adapt and lower the numbers, and eventually wiped them out with what was also probably a fluke. They were still 50% more individuals than when they arrived but no viable reproduction path ahead.

This was an extreme example. Put humans on this type of island and you'll probably end up with them dying out just the same, despite our tendence to radically change the environment to survive. After all that's why the reindeer were there, so humans can survive absent a constant lifeline from civilization.

Humans, and viruses to a degree, are much better at shaping their environment and adapting faster to what's thrown at them to compensate. The instinct is to change whatever possible of the surroundings to survive and thrive.


Another mistake is to place "The Road"(Cormac McCarthy) under "On the Road"(Jack Kerouac).


Imagine you were expecting one of those and read the other!


Hi, Alex. Is there anyway to browser the ebooks filtered by languages? I tried to find some texts in French, but it doesn't seem to have any.


Standard Ebooks only works on English-language books, as typography varies between languages and we're only experts in English.


I can tell you there is a lot of appetite for other languages. I looked at the project and the amount of stuff that would need to be rewritten to work with multiple languages was daunting. I would consider working on making your documentation and workflow functional with multiple languages.


Lots of people have tried similar projects in other languages but as far as I know none have persevered.

Personally I think it's important to have one person in charge who is able to approve of the quality of all the project's output; for now, at SE, that person is me and I'm only an expert in English.


Project Runeberg seems to be still going after 30-odd years.


Project Runeberg is trying to be a nordic Project Gutenberg, not a nordic Standard Ebooks.


Enlightening comment!


Same for me. I think it's english only.



In 2012.


I am interested. I learned some basic 8086 assembly during university, read some books on reverse engineering, but never went anywhere further. BTW, are you working on a open source project?
