a uh, psa about bincode www.reddit.com/r/rust/comme...

Just to make it abundantly clear: don’t post people’s home addresses to the internet what is wrong with you

Yeah the moment I saw that info in the reddit thread I was like "okay I get why people were concerned initially about the git history stuff, but this is several steps too far the fuck is wrong with you". Was sad but not surprised to see the follow-up.

I didn’t even see the original thread

I actually don't think the person who did it even intended it badly, they just did not think at all about the implications. But I could read between the lines as soon as bits of info started surfacing just why the author probably wanted privacy and then to see people just continue...blech.

Yeah, I also had a thought when I heard “rewrote history”…

wtf happened to the subreddit? i haven't been a regular reader for a few years at this point but the thread Steve linked above is the sort of discourse i'd expect to see in HN comments, not what i would have assumed of /r/rust...

In another reddit thread it was verified no code had been altered.
