It occurs to me that all of this hacking seems incredible because people who don't make software don't know how poorly it is made. People don't validate user input, or know the least of efficiency of data structures and how a "massive" request of 50 concurrent users can bring down their application.

NixOS is very much a toolkit for building operating systems. You in modules that set up parts of the system with overridable defaults, and you focus on the parts that matter. Sometimes that is the disk layout, other times it is the dot files, yet other times it is the services.

Adding a new domain to my NixOS webserver is a single line of code.

More exactly:

If your roommate attended a protest where someone got shot, and you transported their zines that indicate your roommate shares political ideology with the shooter, is anyone really under the impression this is not criminal in nature?

And yes, that’s not criminal.


If his wife who is being charged in a crime asks her husband to destroy evidence, then yes that is a crime. Transporting may be what he was doing when he was caught, but they clearly had enough evidence to support that he was doing more than that.

30 years is absolutely excessive, but that doesn't mean the guy is not guilty.


In this case, the roommate conspired to setup an ambush of police officers, an ambush which resulted in one of the police officers being shot in the neck. The roommate didn't "attend a protest" except by the broadest possible definition.
