@tapple @popey @kev or perhaps Pantheon

@tapple @popey @kev Surely Pope!_OS would run Enlightenment 😂

@gaurdianaq Ubuntu, because it works without a fuss

@kev @mike Just remember that 'z' is called 'zed' not 'zee'

@kev Probably so that Joey can afford to eat

@cwebber Everybody who used "crypto" to mean cryptography understands your frustration

If you like Mastodon and want to see it succeed and replace Twitter, you need to support your instance too.

By helping pay for the hosting and maintenance of your instance you will not only make sure it can keep running, but you also give the admins a reason to ensure that it's run and moderated to your liking.

If you're an instance admin, let people know how to support you.

#SupportFederation
@kev @switchingsocial

@ViletteAlex Yes

If you're in the USA and haven't yet, go out an #VOTE!

@mike If it makes you feel better, the string literals were the administrator username & password to the database the app was connecting to, and the binary was being distributed to hundreds of stores around the country.

Although I'm not sure why I thought that would make you feel better :)

I actually got pulled into a meeting with my manager for trying to tell people this was a problem.

@mike At the same company I found a bug in a loop where they were using 1 instead of i for a list index. It was obviously a bug from the context of the code, and a simple fix, but when I sent the code change it was rejected because no client had filed a bug report against it yet.

@mike I've had senior engineers tell me that string literals in compiled code were "encrypted". And also that Base64 was encryption. So, I'd completely believe that some engineer, somewhere is using 64bit encryption and thinks it's fine.

@msh Hey, you can run Zephyr on that! https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/boards/xtensa/esp32/doc/esp32.html

@gemlog You can probably use screen to connect via serial console on USB (I do that with my NodeMCU), but it doesn't look to have on-board WiFi or Ethernet capability

@gemlog Wow, we're going to have entire computers the size of an SDCard soon

@ajroach42 It's crazy what $0.75 worth of electronics can do these days, isn't it? Really makes the whole Internet of Things revolution possible
