I think the key here is intent. kill switch or not, proving you had the intent to harm is what you’re found guilty of.
can’t prove intent on code that’s had all history wiped from it and sat in prod for several years.
“why does this code exist?” – “IDK” “in your expert opinion why does this exist?” – “I cannot express my expert opinion because of a lack of evidence”
IMO DMCA complaints should require a revenue loss figure (not potential loss) attributed to every report. and if its found that the company filed a false complaint, they are forced to pay 10x the amount to the victim(s).
want to claim a small free software platform cost you 11 billion in lost revenue? hope you can prove it, otherwise you just handed Nintendo over to “Joey from Nebraska”.
lol. you think any judge or jury is going to understand the nuances of how a kill switch works?
“did you implement a kill switch that harmed my clients interests?” – “I have no idea what you’re talking about, and furthermore had your client not broken anti-union laws and came to negotiations, staff could have been available to identify and resolve the issues your client allowed to happen through their own willful negligence.”
this can’t happen because the kill switch activates after 72 hours and “order 66” initiates, plunging the whole stack into lockdown and the org into absolute chaos.
hope there were backups you strike busting pieces of shit.
don’t fuck with IT professionals. you take away the only fulfillment we get out of life and you will come to personally understand the meaning behind, “there are worse fates than death”
apes strong together.

thanks for the heads up and I’ll definitely will keep that in mind when I’m looking.
If I can’t find wfh work, I’ll focus my efforts on building/supporting software developer unions while working construction. rather be outside and be miserable than inside and miserable.
only Mr Krabs, and as long as that damned sponge isn’t around.
I’ll be looking for work in about 3 months and my hard line is wfh.
I will never work in an office with people again.
I don’t think many can taste the sarcasm in your comment, but you’re spot on.
no, but not for why you think.
because it’s far more effective to scan samples from you than whole organs.
as a full stack dev, everything you said has offended me.
port 20 is used for FTP, unless you were using FTP, then go right ahead. Guessing that since you didn’t know the protocol you were not using FTP.
port usage reservations are incredibly important to ensure that the system is running within spec and secure. imagine each interface like a party telephone line and the ports are time slots.
your neighborhood has reserved specific times (ports) for everyone to call their relatives. if you use the phone not in your slot (port) your neighbors might get pissed off enough to interrupt your slot. and then it’s just chaos from there.
now you know why
if it’s citrix you used to be able to modify the local connection config file to allow access to the clipboard regardless of what the server allowed.
been a few years since I needed to do it, but it was possible at one time.
that’s so easy! /s
technically any vehicle can be remotely shut down if you’re high enough on a wanted list.
just ask Ayman al-Zawahiri, wait… you can’t.
I got a Note 2 at launch and was showing it off at work to people interested in it.
someone asked about the background and where I got it. said I took it and left it at that.
took the pic of the top of my bathroom trashcan while dumping some toxic waste.
pic is the same trashcan now, like me it’s a bit dented, dirty, and doesn’t open as well as it used to. but, it still works.
I’m keeping it just long enough to harass his ass. I’ll be all over him like Joe Biden on an ice cream cone, or Elon Musk on Trumps dick.
never did from where I’m looking.
just two genetic donors.
