- chgs 2y agoThis article asserts some opsec failures - time zones switching when they shouldn’t etc. It’s quite plausible that they didn’t manage perfect vpn usage every single time.
- netsharc 2y agoI'm surprised they didn't set up guards to prevent mistakes like commits with the "wrong" timezones...
