I had started planning it last semester, and now that pi day is about a month away I need to figure out if it's reasonable or not

came across something kinda weird with this website: https://www.kungfoomanchu.com/
it has an exposed .git file: https://www.kungfoomanchu.com/.git/config
this seems to point to a private GitHub repo
but, you can still download seemingly the whole .git respository (I'm using https://github.com/davtur19/DotGit here)
and from there you can just git reset to get the actual files back
so uh don't leave your .git folder exposed in your website root if you don't want your whole source files leaked

(I think I learned about DotGit from a maia post, so some of you may already know about this, but it's the first time I've seen it actually find and be able to recover a non-public repo)
2025-02-23T00:13:00.891Z
it does seem like the server is just statically serving the root folder, so you probably can't actually get any files that you couldn't otherwise, but you might be able to get old/deleted files + metadata
2025-02-23T00:16:21.557Z
okay the repo's had a whopping 3 commits lol

happy Java 24 Release Day!
if you're wondering if you should upgrade from 21, just wait until September when 25 releases
25 will be the next LTS and also will hopefully include some much-anticipated features
there are some exciting new features in 24 (Stream Gatherers! new post-quantum encryption!) but unless you know you're going to use them, probably just hold off

let's go who's ready for over seven hours of leadership motions (including one combined hour of leadership motions from six other firms)
(this is the Honey lawsuit)
2025-03-25T23:49:11.597Z
looks like the 7 hours of leadership motions went well https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.441974/gov.uscourts.cand.441974.131.0.pdf
nearly all plantiffs agreed on a leadership team

Okay okay so this is really funny

From this, I can determine a few things:
* Fox Sports copied the flag of Belieze from Wikipedia
* For some reason, they used the SVG instead of a raster image
* Their SVG renderer has a bug
Those two rectangles are supposed to be people. The rectangles are gradients, which are supposed to be cropped to the shape of some body part, maybe the torso.
Also, those gradients might be raster images, I forget
I know this because the Wikipedia SVG for the flag of Belieze is a *mess*
I've tried to clean it up before, I forget if I made any marginal improvements or not but I gave up before getting it to a good state for sure
*Belize. I kept typing that and thinking "that looks wrong" and not checking for some reason
2025-03-26T00:11:02.786Z
Yeah that file's been edit-warred, I didn't try to step into that mess
2025-03-26T00:12:21.228Z
It looks like the current version is less of a mess, nice

bad idea: adaptive video streaming algorithm that crops the stream to whatever resolution the connection can handle
(note: crops, not downscales)

okay two more Honey cases to look at:
first up, White v. PayPal Holdings. The case is relatively straightforward compared to Wendover v. PayPal (now in re PayPal)
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69827661/white-v-paypal-holdings-inc/
The basic complaint is that Honey claimed to find the best deals when it did not. Plaintiffs are the nationwide class of Honey users.
The harm is therefore the difference between the deals they would have gotten if Honey were providing the best available and the ones they actually got
Interestingly, this case was moved from ND FL to ND CA, but there doesn't seem to be a docket in ND CA yet
Second case: White v. PayPal Holdings. This is the same, but plantiffs are in the UK. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69827661/white-v-paypal-holdings-inc/
whoops not White
Second case: Campbell v. Honey Science. This is the same, but plaintiffs are in the UK. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69799712/campbell-v-honey-science-llc/
2025-04-01T02:45:40.657Z
neither of these cases seem to be well-known. Campbell didn't have any documents on RECAP, and White didn't even have a docket
but, they're potentially just as interesting, as their potential class is much broader. should keep an eye on them
