I wouldn't be hugely surprised to find out there's a Gartner points requirement for such features. Underneath that magic quadrant graph that Gartner publish each year is a scoring system, x and y features are worth 1 point, w and

The folk/roots band Show of Hands have a song about the Cousin Jacks, which was how I first heard about them. The performer who sang it at a local pub's folk night the first time I heard it, had a great grandfather who'd bee

I think I last used distcc back in the mid 2000s, when I was mucking around with Gentoo a bit more frequently, on a single core machine. I had two machines, one running Gentoo, one running Windows, and I would use distcc to enable me to use

AWS used to rely on JWT for their consoles (haven't for a few years now, most folks migrated away some 5 years ago) It's why they used to be horrendously bloated with large javascript bundles that took so long to process on the cl

It depends on where the vulnerability is. Everything is all ad-hoc, each piece of open source software decides how they want to handle it, attempting to juggle the chances of a leak. The fewer you tell, the more likely the secret is to be

I can't speak to that. I'm not in the OL team and don't know what they do / did. Oracle can/does throw a lot more engineers at development and build than CentOS does (I believe they only have a few engineers). I

Canonical are also fairly actively involved in security fixes and among those brought in to the various security embargoes. They usually ship packages the same day embargoes drop.

Amazon had GPLv3 blacklisted when I worked there. Nothing new by way of legal concerns about GPLv3. No lawyer is going to advise a company to take actions that will likely see the company go to court to explore just how much of a license

Should be. It's CentOS packages with rebranding and maybe some custom fixes on top. There are two kernels that ship with it, either the RedHat Compatibility Kernel (RHCK), or the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK). I would point out

CentOS is how RedHat releases their sources in compliance with open source licenses (Presumably they're going back to releasing them as a consequence for this). My familiarity with Amazon Linux is about 4 years out-of-date these days,

It's essentially no different from how things currently are. RedHat releases updates, CentOS group picks those up and builds CentOS packages from them. They usually lag a day or two. They really lagged on the PLATYPUS CPU vulnerabili

QEMU powers clouds, and can be run KVM accelerated. You're safe. If you don't trust QEMU, stay well away from any cloud service.
