How the OOM Killer asks a process to terminate:

I should have tried a bit harder to search, the original quote by Sartre is:

“Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.”

“Every line of code is written without reason, maintained out of weakness, and deleted by chance” Jean-Paul Sartre’s Programming in ANSI C

Is this a joke or an AI hallucination? I’m pretty sure Sartre never wrote about programming in ANSI C.

There is a book called “Programming in ANSI C” by E. Balagurusamy

I can only find other references to this quote from sites that are linking this article.

The article actually does date back to 2016 so it’s not AI generated.

The binary blobs match which checksums? The ones provided by the ventoy developer?

GLIM is an alternative that’s much simpler (it just uses Grub configs) so it is easy to audit:

Please don’t continue to recommend Ventoy. It has serious and unanswered security questions hanging over it, and the developer seems to be completely AWOL.

Anyone who falls for the scam of thinking that you can determine IQ from the genome of an embryo is probably below average themselves.

You’re just unabashedly supporting eugenics? Is that because you’re too young, or too uneducated to know any better?

They didn’t break RSA.

If this is impersonation (which it looks to be) shouldn’t it be removed?

Are you going to set the precedent that impersonation of figures in the open source community is allowed?

Personally I would be in favor of removing this post until OP can provide proof of identity (eg. by posting something on the main github account corroborating this post).

Pretty sure this was described exactly in Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson, 1992).

Instead of linking to a jpeg hosted on a non-HTTPS website for a weird investments scam you could just link wikipedia:

Reuters just regurgitating investor-bait because they have no domain expertise. Maybe Reuters journalists should be getting some training from experts too.

Intel’s assets are worth more than Intel’s market cap. That’s how badly they’re doing in the stockmarket, and also shows you how market cap is a fairly irrelevant indicator of a company’s value.

The amount of advertising for this tool in recent times is starting to look a lot like astroturfing.

Not my post btw, just sharing the link :)

Sorry for the reddit link, I don’t know of a mirror. This was posted just today, running on an EeePC:

The binaries in question are various GNU and FOSS tools from elsewhere, not part of the Ventoy project itself. So no, the Ventoy author does not own the copyright of the tools in question.
