Yes, I was surprised there would be enough to go on with the MAC addresses rotating and I had assumed the UUID would too, but it sounds like there's enough to go on to identify targets.

Impressive stuff but it would be polite to the potentially interested users if the line, "... this package is currently a proof of concept with limited direct use", had been put a little earlier. It's about nine or so dense paragraphs in.

It's fine that it is still in development but it just seems worth being upfront.


It's amazing! But sad to hear of the vandalism that caused significant damage:

That happened 24 years ago.

Indeed, I'd realised, but thank you for clarifying for others.

I didn't realise but by chance i bumped into this last night. I wanted to remove a few letters from the Star Wars logo and it refused... Thought it was a bit much, but it mentioned third party concerns.

Interesting idea.

It spreads the effort for maintaining the list of trusted people, which is helpful. However I still see a potential firehose of randoms requesting to be vouched for. Various ways one might manage that, perhaps even some modest effort preceding step that would demonstrate understanding of the project / willingness to help, such as A/B triaging of several pairs of issues, kind of like a directed, project relevant CAPTCHA?


Interestingly neither their GitHub nor the La Suite front page (translated) actually mention "office" - that's what the OP titled it.


Definitely catchier name!


Yes, noticed that too. Blocked me getting back to HN. Bad behaviour from the site.


Yes, that's a sensible approach. Thank you!


If you come up with a realistic language spec and wait maybe six months, by then it'll probably be approach being cheap enough that you could test the scenario yourself!
