That feeling of utter relief when you have insurance again... COBRA is like hundreds of dollars a month and that's not remotely affordable for ppl trying to cover between jobs

When I was broke and applying for medicaid I got caught with a hospital bill on top of penalties for the coverage gap that occurred cause medicaid wouldn't fucking respond for months.

Until every single human being who resides here is covered, we gotta fight like hell.

Nobody should be without healthcare. Ever.

"Detecting the use of "curl | bash" server side" (as opposed to curl & save to a file).
Now this is some very clever, and scary, stuff. It's possible to detect if a #HTTPS request is being piped directly into #bash or just saved to a file. You can use this to send a different file (& commands!) only when it's going straight into bash.

I don't feel that great at the internet, but am trying to participate anyway!

I'm currently living in New Orleans region, where I'm a librarian. I love reading and listening to podcasts but also love swimming, baking, sewing, conversation, FRIENDSHIP. I'm queer and polyamorous, and am generally interested in thinking and talking about these subjects.

My sun, moon, rising, mercury, and venus are all in gemini so...easily distracted, like to flirt, highly curious about almost everything.

@cwebber the simplicity that golang is so proud of seems to come mostly from ignoring the mistakes of others and refusing to learn from any advances that have happened since Hoare first published the CSP paper. it's really baffling how people see this as a step forward.
