  The founder of Path is a young man named Marshal Webb. I wrote about Webb back in 2016, in a story about a DDoS defense company he co-founded called BackConnect Security LLC. On September 20, 2016, KrebsOnSecurity published data showing that the company had a history of hijacking Internet address space that belonged to others.

  Less than 24 hours after that story ran, KrebsOnSecurity.com was hit with the biggest DDoS attack the Internet had ever seen at the time. That sustained attack kept this site offline for nearly 4 days.

  Fuckin’ yikes. Some serious skeletons clearly visible for everyone to see if that’s the echo to the call.

  Yes. Growing a tree from sapling to a giant trunk removes significantly more carbon from the atmosphere than an existing trunk sitting there at mass, unable to store much more carbon.

  And yes, that’s why I clarified that new trees would need to be planted, right on the money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft builds first datacenters with wood to slash carbon emissions⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, that’s the mechanism by which carbon is removed. It goes into tree, tree dies or gets cut down taking all the solidified carbon with it, new tree gets planted in its place to repeat the cycle. In fact, the fastest way to scrub carbon with the practice is to farm trees, assuming you do it sustainably.

  Yeah, no. iPhone VPN apps aren’t the route that Russian hackers are taking.

  Yeah, too fucking late. Already canceled PS Plus.

  Agreed. Just canceled PS Plus. Fuck Sony for the shifty bender they’ve been on.

  To be fair, I was in the camp of “put a sock in it” until I reached a point of “alright FINE, I’ll give it a go” and now I’m joining the choir on it, desktop Linux is a dream.
