"On
October 25, 2021, a vulnerability in all prior versions of Geth was discovered that permitted
a carefully crafted peer-to-peer message to inflict a denial-of-service attack on the receiving
node.
42 From our crawls of the Bitcoin network, we observe that 21% of Bitcoin nodes are
running an old version of the Bitcoin Core client that is known to be vulnerable."
The beginning of this excerpt is talking about Geth, and how unpatched Geth resulted in a fork of Ethereum. Then, out of nowhere they indicated 21% of Bitcoin nodes are vulnerable and running an old version of the bitcoin core client, and they bold it. They didn't say anything about this vulnerability in the preceding paragraph. Vulnerable to what? Certainly not vulnerable to the same thing that Geth exploit took advantage of.
It isn't about killing him, it's about waking him up. Killing him doesn't matter. If you wake him, he never gets reset, he never goes back to sleep, the warders you have to kill to wake him never spawn again, and they drop the best loot in the game, so by killing them and waking him up, you remove everyone's ability to grind for that loot, forever.
Killing him is a thing that you can only do by using a specific strategy, and doing so has no real effect on anything, he still is awake and you still lose the warders, and therefore the good loot. Since this server is pegged to this specific moment in time when the first two expansions were released, the subsequent content with the better loot will never happen, so now people on this server have lost the ability to get that loot, and they're salty about it.
It would be great if Firefox for Android supported multiple user profiles for syncing. I use a work and personal profile on my desktop, and in edge mobile.
It's notable that if you run this tool on a computer that has onedrive set up, it will start downloading cloud-hosted onedrive files during the filesystem scan phase.
