88 is a white supremacist numerical code for "Heil Hitler." H is the eighth letter of the alphabet, so 88 = HH = Heil Hitler. One of the most common white supremacist symbols, 88 is used throughout the entire white supremacist movement, not just neo-Nazis.
On the propaganda campaign(in addition to other things) I'd directly target oil lobbiests and corporate executives. I'd drag them kicking and screaming into the light. Put a face on the ever-faceless corporate interests that fuck our planet up.
Ah the project was just an excuse to familiarise myself with low-level network code. It's basically just a simple TUI app that takes a list from a popular comics podcast website and allows the user to locally track the comics they've read then update the list when the a new podcast comes out adding additional comics to the list.
I could have done the project in a quarter of the time in Python. But I wanted to get a strong foundation in low-level socket programming, network protocols, TLS and HTML parsing. I suppose on some level I'm just interested in those things.
That said, you probably have a point. Maybe I should just look into Rust and Go. I've had some fun with the latter.
Don't go bauldering while still drunk / deeply hungover. Did a challenging route that I had only recently gotten the hang of and leapt for a grip. Fell. Turned in the air and landed on my ankle. Stupid injury.
