Do Not Use This Tool at All Costs - Developer is a Fucking Moron

This individual does not understand the basic trappings of how the internet or encryption works.
There's absolutely no way in mankind that they're imbued with the qualities necessary to safely construct a project that cannot be easily bypassed and/or compromised.
If this child has done the initial work of at least figuring out the necessary steps / skeleton structure for a secure boot process, then I suppose that at least this can be considered a benefit.
Do not rely on this dipshit for anything meaningful though - go to the Arch Linux and refer to the notes that they have there. They are legitimate developers that actually know what the fuck they're talking about.
This person is a script kiddie (literally), with a middle schooler's undertanding of the internet and how it works. I will more than likely write up about this individual on my blog and publish it so that all can be warned to not waste their time with what could amount to garden variety malware (you know, because this kid does not understand how the internet works - he's never even heard of the IETF! Does not know how DNS works!! Thinks its some magic fairy in the sky that bestows the correct IP address mappings!
Everyone who read this message is being fucking saved. You're welcome and you've been duly warned.
In short, this issue is part of a smear campaign by @Librechain presumably because I temporarily muted them in the Telegram group.
As has always been true, whether to use this software is entirely up to you. If Mortar has made your life easier and more secure, then it has served its purpose. Mortar is open source software it may be audited or forked by anyone. Pull requests, constructive criticism, and subject-oriented discourse to that end are always welcome on this project and in our community.
Some context to the conflict:
This user joined our community Telegram group. Initial conversation was civil, but steadily devolved into ad hominem attacks against both myself and @Snawoot. I eventually muted this user for a period of 7 days and posted a message explaining why. Shortly afterward an alt account joined the group and posted spiteful and condemning messages directed at the Mortar project, myself, and Snawoot. Aproximately 3 and a half hours later, this issue was posted on GitHub.
I've attached the full exchange from Telegram to this message in the spirit of transparency.
Readers may use their own judgement to determine if this incident will influence their use of this software or their involvement in the Mortar community.
Best Regards,
Noah
