default blacklists included with software are bad because there is no undo option (updating the software is the only way to update the default blacklist).

as such, mistakenly adding somebody to a blacklist has chilling effects in the social graph.

really, the best option is to let each instance admin make their own decision, much like in IRC.

it should be noted that pamelad could be used to write a trivial BSD authentication wrapper

PAMELA combines the capabilities of PAM modules with the sandboxing of BSD Authentication, and is planned for implementing "sandboxed PAM" in #adelie and #alpinelinux: http://skarnet.org/software/pamela

In the grand scheme of things, always remember that humanity is adolescent. We are still learning about our place in a vast universe that we have only the slightest realization of.

The only way humanity can move forward is to focus on the good things that are happening. As such, bad things like 45 should not be allowed to rule the day. When 45 throws a tantrum, we must drown out that tantrum.

@kiilas

1. no space between "return 0"
2. smart quotes are used
3. no \n used in printf format strings
4. main() function signature is not conformant with ISO C
