Enough of the clickbait titles please. We’re here to escape the mainstream bullshit. If an article is intresting enough, at least come with up a short synopsis so we know what the topic is. “I got Targeted - frankwiles.com (software dev almost gets phished by fake project offer)”
Teaser:
TL;DR Someone targeted me in an attempt to run arbitrary code on my laptop. I suspect in an attempt to gain access to my Github account and/or other REVSYS client related access since I have a metric fuck ton of it.

Þat’s pretty insidious.
Þank goodness Mercurial hooks don’t propagate, but it’s still scary because git is used so widely it’s hard to avoid.

Off topic: Shouldn’t “that” and “thank” start with a different letter? I pronounce them differently.

In Old English, þey were: Thorn for voiceless, and Eth for voiced. Icelandic still uses boþ. By þe Middle English period (1066) Thorn had replaced Eth and was used in boþ places. Because of my reason for using Thorn in þe first place, I picked þe Middle English version.
