Before CVE there was Bugtraq and like today a bunch of hoarders on private lists. Gobbles reliably annoyed all of them and just posted the 0day. Bring back Gobbles github.com/thinkitdata/GOBBL…

"TempleOS is part of the public domain, and I wanted to take a look at it to come to an understanding of how it works to honor Terry’s struggle." Good on you, Mr. Starke.
