A user on the online forum 4chan has leaked a massive 270GB of data purportedly belonging to The New York Times. This leak includes what is claimed to be the source code for the newspaper’s digital operations.
It’s mostly node modules
270GB feels insane for the source code of a single organisation. Is there media assets or backups in there too?
EDIT: yep, multiple subsidiaries and slack Comms which could inflate it by a lot. we post a whole lot of uncompressed shit on our slack
I expect that paywall to be fully useless soon.
That’s a really silly take … a Paywall is just an authorization mechanism.
That’s like saying the source code of lemmy leaks and you expect your account to be compromised any second.
I can sell you a copy of lemmys source code, are you interested?
I can give you 25 schmeckles.
reminds me of the time someone said “Who is this 4chan?” on tv and it became a meme. good times
