  • we should just write the code how it should be

    Notably, that’s not what he says. He didn’t say in general. He said “for once, [after this already long discussion], let’s push back here”. (Literally “this time we push back”)

    who need a secure OS (all of them) will opt to not use Linux if it doesn’t plug these holes

    I’m not so sure about that. He’s making a fair assessment. These are very intricate attack vectors. Security assessment is risk assessment either way. Whether you’re weighing a significant performance loss against low risk potentially high impact attack vectors or assess the risk directly doesn’t make that much of a difference.

    These are so intricate and unlikely to occur, with other firmware patches in line, or alternative hardware, that there’s alternative options and acceptable risk.



  • I wasn’t aware the GitHub terms of service explicitly grant / require you to grant permission to fork [within GitHub].

    GitHub ToS section License Grant to Other Users

    By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and “fork” your repositories (this means that others may make their own copies of Content from your repositories in repositories they control).

    If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub’s functionality (for example, through forking). […] If you are uploading Content you did not create or own, you are responsible for ensuring that the Content you upload is licensed under terms that grant these permissions to other GitHub Users.







  • Formatted, so I can read it

  • I’m thankful I am full stack and can do my stuff across borders. I hate the interfaces, waiting for stuff, or being hindered by dissatisfactory (to me anyway) stuff from them. So I’m glad when I have control over the entire stack - from talking to the customer to running production.

    Anything I don’t have control over - most if it doesn’t get done, the rest can be okay or bothersome.

    I hate that I don’t see what the admin set up and does on the infrastructure. It makes it harder to assess issues and potential issues and how they could correlate with infrastructure changes and activities…
