xz was successful because it was believable, but a malicious actor would more likely target libraries that are depended on by many, like xz.

I appeciate all you do, but please start delegating for your own sake.
Find people to handle the spam and moderation, that gives you more time to focus on dev and infra.
And on dev too, there is lots to delegate.

Also, routers usually have an option to auto-reboot at specified intervals.

Tldr, apply physical timer instead. It saves me time.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Ernest is adding features at a rapid rate. Things like favorites get left for later. Even if you succeeded, it would not have any new features.

They inflated numbers by using insta accounts, but few actally use it.

Threads is the smaller player here compared to twitter/bluesky. and bluesky is a direct compeditor for activitypub with their own federation protocol.

So now Threads has to play nice to have any chance at all. A part of the fediverse pie is better than no pie at all.
I hope Tumblr joins too.

Interoperability was the purpose of activitypub. I'm not oppossed to Meta , Tumblr and wordpress joining the fediverse.
As long as I can use an open source community platform.

Besides the moon druid, all other druid-subclasses hardly change.
The new conjure spells do have a large impact.

Instead of animals they are variations of spirit guardians,
A few are unbalanced, but i do get the general idea. It does help the druid to be a battlefield-controller.
What I don't like is that they do damage on hostile turns, It forces a druid to interrupt the DM on hostile turns.
(Like the existing moonbeam and spirit guardians )

I would prefer:

AOE damage right after caster-turn, and if a a hostile enters and leaves the AOE within their turn.

Visit a few Ukraine threads, it's one of the topics the fanatics pile on.
My point was that tankies are a "special" subset of communists.
