Comment Wear and tear. (Score 1) 174

The habitable parts of the ship would have to be rotating to provide artificial gravity. But what would wear and tear be like after 100 years? 200? Can we even build a machine to last 400 years? How can we launch such big parts and get them into space? And I can not imagine being stuck on a ship for your remaining lifespan. Would AI be used to educate the crew?

Comment Outdated site software. (Score 2) 69

The website was running on a version of Freebsd that was severely outdated. Version 10.1. A PDF exploit using Ghostscript allowed running a SUID binary to gain access. There is no excuse for running such an outdated version in 2025 when version 13.5 is out now. This is just laziness.
