Site requires javascript so I appreciate OP. If that doesn't bother you, nothing's stopping you from clicking the article.

The big secret no one tells you about about bandit, is you have to read the fucking manual. No really. RTFM. Each level tells you what commands you may need. The manual pages for those commands tell you the context and syntax of their usage.

That is literally the only tip/trick. Read the instructions.

except steam workshop, which i mentioned.

Long Live FOSS ✌️

I got to the cr@ck version from a BBS. Give me your ASL and I'll hook you up.

that's on them

Sure. How does that help me?

personally, i'd click "releases" anyway

If you knew what you were looking for, sure. On every other website on the face of the planet, that button says "download".

if they direct you to github for downloads, and don't point you directly to the releases page, and don't have anything about installation in the readme, then that's on them. personally, i'd click "releases" anyway because that sounds like a word associated with products.

like, try downloading something from the steam workshop with no prior exposure to steam (eg, from the web browser and not logged in) then get back to me.

I usually put a self-stick alluminium fan on the controller. You can get 10 of them for a few $. Doesn't help much if the entire internals is overheated of course.

Sure, now try learning any of those things with no instructions.

"will", not "should"

I'm not arguing that this is a good thing

If they do, it will be in protection of proprietary code, at the expense of open source

To be fair. It do be like that sometimes.

Of course it’s slop

The devs haven't said anything about this one AFAIK, though we can at least look at last year's AI-found LPEs.

Secureblue mitigated Copy Fail and blocked the xfrm-ESP exploit path for Dirty Frag. You can read more about it here.

Kicksecure did neither, as SUID and unprivileged user namespaces aren't disabled by default. You also can't selectively enable user namespaces after disabling it, which worsens security for web browsers and breaks some stuff.

"or just describe it to your agent"
*shudder*

i mean it's a one time thing to learn, like with sourceforge, moddb, apt, etc etc

Courts are slow but they will catch up eventually

I don't think it's difficult to know who triggered this when the announcement for the latest Omarchy announced support for Apple hardware. Thanks, DHH

All these comments about git, but OP is presumably asking about this: https://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/

The original comment said "Sometimes those clankers can hallucinate useful ideas".. do you really think that they meant to say that the people are the ones hallucinating, not the machines?
