This is still hung up on the premise that ‘the government’ will conspire to rig or manipulate it. The government isn’t an amorphous entity that responds to its master’s demands: there are arms that operate independently, responding to leg

This is an extremely pessimistic view, but it’s evidently played out in the US, which (usually) espouses democratic principles, so it’s probably justified in some regard. In Australia, I believe that the officials and processes are highly t

They haven’t taken it down because it continues to draw in traffic. It’s trivial to debunk because the story was a hack job with no sources to begin with: the burden on proof is on the accuser in this case.

I don’t think this purely a fear campaign. Billions are spent on border protection every year for a very broad range of reasons - even before the past 20 years of ‘terrorism bad’. Narcotics, dangerous and malicious persons, people smuggling

If your IPMI is in any way exposed to anyone other than your administrators, then you have other problems. These interfaces should be segmented away from all other networks, irrespective of any vulnerabilities they could have.
