It's hidden for users. Try sudo ./exploit

It's also easier to share vulnerability fixes between different projects.

"Y" was using a similar memory management as "T", T was hacked due to whatever, people that use Y and T report to Y that a similar vulnerability might be exploitable

Edit:
In closed source, this might happen if both projects are under the same company.
But users will never have the ability to tell Y that T was hacked in a way that might affect Y

\ instead of / is really annoying.
I recently had to do a template variable replace is batch, resulting in a JSON config file for another program.
A bunch of paths and stuff. And the variables I was substituting in were also used in batch cmds.
It was a pain figuring out when and where to escape or not-escape backslashes.

Is that http2? Cause http2 allows for reuse of a connection for additional requests.

This caught me out with envoy reverse proxy doing a few subdomains using a wildcard cert.
The browser would reuse the connection cause the cert authority and IP was the same, but envoy couldn't figure out how to route the request correctly. Absolute head scratcher!

Sounds like a long-awaited race condition finally coalescing.
The boot splash screen would expect the drivers to be ready, and will hang/timeout if it isn't ready when it tries to render the splash screen

In France, no one spoke English even though I spoke loudly and slowly

Haha, reminds me of a holiday ages ago in France.
Someone left their handbag behind or something, and my friend said "I'll sort it out, I know French". To be fair, he did. But when I went back to tell him where we ended up, he was speaking slowly and loudly to the poor french person.

Which reminds me of another time in France, having breakfast. I ordered "orange juice" and the waiter looked confused. So I said it again slower, and his face lit up and said "ah, jus d'orange".

The lack of informed consent is what makes this unethical.
Informed consent is a key aspect of clinical trials

Any older disk based console also required a memory card.
Pretty sure the controller was the first to have an analogue joystick.
I think a lot of the quirks of the N64 were because they were essentially first drafts. A lot of first, a lot of ground breaking tech.
Nobody knew what they were doing, at that time: nothing was wrong

But scriptkiddies and automated scans are not a security threat. If they were a legitimate threat to your server, you have bigger problems.
All it does is reduce log chatter.

Anyone actually wanting in would port scan, then try and connect to each port, and quickly identify an SSH port

Pushing is an understatement. They gave away free samples, and donated formula to hospitals on the condition hospitals discharge new mothers with samples.

Once infant formula has been used, it is near impossible to kick the habit. For mothers lose the ability and the self-confidence to breastfeed before they reach the bottom of their free sample powdered milk packet.

No, its more like "i own a library. I dont want people shouting in my library. Anyone shouting in my library will be kicked out"

Someone that shouts in a library is more than welcome to start their own library where shouting is allowed, even welcomed, encouraged or mandatory
