Creator of the fork here.

Had some troubles, as we (and I personally, and my loved ones) were hit by a 4chan raid. Take the comments in the issues on GitHub with a grain of salt, it's impossible to get ahead of this.

Need to wait for things to cool down to be able to organize everything later.

Anyways, AMA or something :)

> they also called me on my pinephone. More than 70 calls. [1]

That's rather horrible. Do you know where they might've found your pinephone number?

Strange.

Yeah the author deleted the tweet moments after I asked the question... I thought I messed up the link but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I just found it rather scary how these 4chan trolls are able to find his pinephone number despite it not being on his website or any of his social media.

No worries, here's an archive:

Hello, long time (occasional) user of audacity here, who doesn't mind opt-in telemetry but surely is very angry at opt-out telemetry!

What's your personal view (and that of others reading this thread) on software freedom and how to develop free software?

I'm glad you people went with libera.chat and not Telegram. IRC is standard tech that can be bridged from Matrix/XMPP (and others). But what about github? I don't think github is fit for free software development (being a centralized, non-free platform) but i understand the argument that everybody's on there. More specifically, do you have infrastructure for the website/CI/CD so you don't have to rely on Github Pages/Actions?

One more question: what's your take on reproducible builds? I'm personally interested in systems like GNU/guix and NixOS which are functional package managers.

It seems like a good fit to get started to build binary builds in a reliable manner. Are you familiar with such tech? (or someone from your team)

hey, could you make a blogpost about this whole 4chan story?

i think it would be an interesting peace to read for any FOSS dev

do you happen to have a list of the phone numbers harassing you so i can pre-preemptively block them for the future?

Touche, realized I was being trolled again.

That's rather embarrassing for the Pinephone project, maybe you should file a bug report? Edit: In the original tweet[0] you said it didn't crash?? Be sure to include the timeline of events and plenty of details in the bug report ok

Obviously it crashed exactly on the 71st call. Just bad timing.

You ever watch Judge Judy? She says quite often "If you tell the truth you don't have to have a good memory."

Man, I wish I had this level of truth-telling skill.

Damn, could you tell us how to protect our own private information from these steroid-taking 4chan goons? What did you do wrong?
