Signature

Justo Pastor Lynch (1755–1830), an Argentine landowner, was born in Buenos Aires on the family "estancia", a ranch by the River de la Plata. He was the eldest surviving son of Patrick Lynch of Lydican Castle in Claregalway Ireland, and Rosa de Galaya de la Camera. At times his name was recorded as Pastorin or Pastorino Lynch in reference to the large landowned by his family dedicated to horses.

Descendants

Justo's fortune was one of the largest of the region, properties and business he received from his family, in addition he married the Spanish heiress Ana Bernardo Roo (d.1836), who doubled the extent and value of his properties; consequently his sons enjoyed a wealthy life like no other Irish immigrants in the region.

His eldest son Patricio (Patrick) Lynch, born 1789, set up a shipping company. He owned the frigate, Heroína, which was involved in a claim of possession of the Falkland Islands in 1820. Patricio Lynch is the great great grandfather of Che Guevara.

Another son Estanislao Lynch, born 1793, fought in the Argentine independence war with the grade of colonel. On 2 January 1817 the Buenos Aires city council appointed Estanislao as the mayor of Barracas.

I think there are still a bunch of *remotely exploitable* vulnerabilities in the wireless stack present on a bunch of phones because nobody has ever bothered to patch them.

gollark: So if you do compile it you'll still be stuck with possible horrible security issues, due to not actually getting any driver updates.

gollark: They generally just take one outdated kernel version, patch in the code they need, ship it, and then never update it, instead of "upstreaming" the drivers so they'll be incorporated in the official Linux source code.
