This one was good:

Interview: Doug McIlroy: https://tmpout.sh/5/2.html

- i like visual

- can we get a whole magazine that explains ideas like this? https://visualrambling.space/neural-network/

Love the aesthetic. There was another ezine like this years ago focused on cybersecurity, I’ve forgotten its name now but the ASCII art involved was top notch.

Does anyone have any idea? It was definitely when Twitter was still Twitter as I remember reaching out to them about their ASCII art.

Maybe you're thinking of Phrack [1]? I wonder if there'll be another edition of it, and if yes what it would look like, now that the AIpocalypse seems to have reached security research...

Not Phrack but I did find it, ThugCrowd [1]!

Edit to add, apparently one of the ThugCrowd people is part of tmp.0ut so that would explain why my mind immediately went there.

there will be a new Phrack this year still!

Thank you, that is very reassuring to know :D

(and interactions like these are part of the reason why I <3 HN)
