It makes perfect sense; other replies have already made good arguments, but I'll add mine. I am not in agriculture. I know very little about farming, and there is nothing I can realistically do to fix or prevent agricultural mishaps. On the other hand, I am in Tech. I know a lot about computers, and there are things I can do and learn from the SSH article. Also, the SSH article is more scary than some dead fish (Yeah, dead fish suck, but that's 1000 miles away from me and a localized problem). The sophistication of the XZ attack is scary. It looks like a group of malicious actors did it. How widespread are attacks like this? We only learned about the `xz` attack because a brilliant person dug into a very minor side-effect caused by the attack. Is the Linux Kernel compromised in a similar attack? Who knows. What about the 2 billion other libraries a modern Linux system depends on? How will we detect and prevent this from happening in the future?
