context for the 95% of you who have no clue:

in Scotland, people under 22, over 60 and with disabilities get free buses, where the government pays bus operators a percentage of the single fare for each journey. so companies like McGill’s hike the single fare to get more money out of this scheme

had to resurrect a horrendous meme template from the bowels of the internet for this very specific idea that popped into my head yesterday

I can't believe I'm the one who's scared of taking jobs working in the kernel/ring0 and writing drivers but these 80billion USD-valuation companies can just no-protection rawdog the kernel with the sloppiest practices I've ever seen and it's totally okay.

We're all sitting here scared and afraid and these people are just doing the equivalent of chugging everclear and driving backwards on the highway.

I clearly need more fucking hubris.

We've got some major updates on our DIY pharmaceutical R&D technology stack.

We can't give you all the details until after our presentation at DEF CON (defcon.org/html/defcon-32/dc-3 and live streaming link on Twitch, no account needed: www.twitch.tv/defcon_dctv_two), but we can say that we'll be showing off a novel method to make sofosbuvir (the cure for Hepatitis C) at a tiny fraction of the price big pharma charges.

We'll also be demoing the newest edition of the MicroLab, our DIY lab reactor that you can build at home for a few hundred dollars (github.com/FourThievesVinegar/). Together with our Recipe Press (which generates instructions for the MicroLab) and ChemHacktica (our hijacked machine-learning-based chemical synthesis planner), the MicroLab Suite provides all the tools needed to plan and execute reactions that you need for DIY medicines.

Are you ready for DIY drug development? What medications would you hijack? The era of computer-aided home chemistry is dawning and we can't wait to see where you all take it.

As always: Keep each other healthy. Keep each other safe.

Thinking about a curl kernel driver with live updates. Lots of potential.

"Don't reinvent the wheel" is now bad advice because all existing wheels have catastrophic flaws in them.

always remember that you've never done anything wrong and never will do anything wrong, but that person who you don't know who just said something that mildly annoyed you online is probably actually a really awful person and you're completely right to harass them and accuse them of whatever you want
