Nah, your processes are just terrible. They might be “industry standard”, but so was storing plaintext credit card information. >This is doubling down with more poorly considered assumptions and demonstrating an overwhelming lack of knowledge about security process Sorry, but no. I’ve worked in this field for two decades. What you’re describing is meaningless security theatre meant to appease the people paying your salaries.

Oh look, some more poorly informed personal invective! I had no idea it was possible to triple down on being a clueless dick, but you’ve successfully demonstrated that point. Alas, nothing else. Oh, and only two decades? It explains the rookie naïveté and flailing, ranting insecurities, I suppose. But I think you’ve got a fourth go in you, why stop now? I’m sure there’s a few more witless assumptions and unoriginal epithets left to fling around in vacuous defense of the indefensible.

  No matter how many words we waste, you will still be the guy complaining about your job being a waste of time while simultaneously trying to defend the decisions causing you to waste your time. And for what it’s worth, you started it with the insults and silly appeals to authority.

    There we go! Moronic, childish, deluded nonsense, and you still haven’t added anything of substance since “you are the idiot”. I’ve also just realised you’re the same nutter who was desperate to prove Bill Woodcock doesn’t have (and I quote) ”basic understanding of DNS”. Ok, I’m done smacking this particular witless, flailing troll around. Be seeing you.

      See, that’s all you’ve got. Empty appeals to authority. Bill Woodcock got the technical details utterly wrong. His track record doesn’t matter when he’s spewing out bullshit, it’s still just that. Just read your comments again https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30513375 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30513375 You were trying to argue that pulling out root nameservers from Russia would be a bad thing because … Roskomnadzor can only restrict access to foreign DNS servers? And you call me deluded.

        Not sure what you mean by "appeals to authority". Fairly sure you don't know what that phrase means. Whose authority, exactly? I'll appeal to my own, I suppose, but that is because I actually know what I'm talking about. Definitely sure you don't have anything to say, but are committed to telling people they're stupid because ... you have little else to contribute, and are stuck in a muddy trench of incoherent rage you dug for yourself. Again.

        > Not sure what you mean by "appeals to authority". Read our previous conversation, your comments were about Woodcocks background up until you wanted to change the topic entirely to discuss Russian internet censorship. You were completely unable to come up with a coherent technical explanation as to why Bill wasn’t wrong when he said what he did. > I suppose, but that is because I actually know what I'm talking about. That’s it. You can’t supply any useful facts, everything that comes out of your mouth is supposed to be the truth because you are an expert. Yet, your Linkedin makes it pretty clear that you are a nobody. Just a perpetual software developer and occasional low level manager without any real achievements in his life. I tried very hard to dig a fact based argument out of you, but I think you know very well that you’re defending bad policy. The idea that declaring an “incident” over something like this is actually necessary, rather than just a move to appease questions from management is completely frivolous. If you were serious about your security posture, you’d be prepared for these events in the first place. Trusting NPM is inevitably going to get you hacked. > are stuck in a muddy trench of incoherent rage you dug for yourself. Again.

I merely suggested that the word would be better applied to you.
