Well, Repl.it sank from "oh, that's kinda cool" to "avoid at all cost in my book"...

In the context of the article I took that as a gesture of goodwill while trying to talk out the misunderstanding. They had a relationship before this happened and it sounded like he wanted to maintain that relationship. In the end, this was

No, I still have a home-base in Portland, OR. While my company went remote full time, my girlfriend isn't so lucky yet. It's still great to spend some time on the coast whenever I want though!

Linux has an over 90% market share on critical infrastructure like servers and cloud resources which I would consider prime targets for ransomware. Who cares about an infected workstation, reinstall and move on.

You could start to look at the spread of Diskcoder.C across several attacks and the shared code with ExPetr and NotPetya... This forms the basis for the DOJ indictment against 6 officers of GRU Unit 74455. There is much more if you care to

It's pretty clear that the Russian Gov is not actively prosecuting cyber criminals, provided they attack foreign competition. On top of that, there is a fair amount of forensic data indicating shared resources between hacker groups and

Syslog "Hell"? Ever looked at SNMP?! When a "standard" sticks around this long and needs to support so many legacy devices things can get a bit messy. At least syslog is human readable, while things may not be as machine

I'm not sure our knowledge of the ocean is sufficient at this point to designate an area as "non sensitive".

Weren't there X11 systems for windows for a long time?

What do you mean by "like this" and why in particular should that be avoided at all cost?

Aside from the privacy concerns, I'm not sure I'd want to put data my life may depend on in a product from a company with a track record of randomly dropping products with little to no lead time.

We all "simply want to live". Not having microplastics in everything, everything we eat, everything we drink, etc, etc, goes a long way towards that. I'm not "punishing them for the sins of the Great Polluters", I&#

I've seen wooden handcrafted versions of this and thought: "Cute, I guess there might be niche market for it". Chunks of useless throwaway plastic that will end up polluting our oceans, not so cute.

Are you really writing HTML in HTML if you are using a wysiwyg editor?

Is the chipset supported by the mainline kernel? Their earlier "linux phones" basicly needed an android kernel and Linux support was close to non-existant.

Fine, I'll call you cynical... ;P There are certainly (often larger) nonprofits with a tendency of overpaying their leadership and/or pushing policies favored by their corporate funders. I would in this context however not conflat

Corporations do provide funds for some larger projects, that is however not anywhere near "most".

I would argue that doordash isn't a "technology project" It's a food delivery company, that happens to have a web-shop.

That statement only holds if you only define "value" as financial gain. I would consider that a dangerous simplification.

I do not see OP stating that "useful" and "profitable" are mutually exclusive. I think it is widely understood that there is "usefulness" that is not satisfied by profit driven organisations, that is why we hav

Research has actually indicated that the link between financial incentives and motivation to work is actually very small: https://hbr.org/2013/04/does-money-really-affect-motiv Thus widespread availability of &qu

One could argue that it is exactly this financial incentive that causes all the mislabeled useless apps on the app stores.

Something tells me that that is still pretty relevant...

Just because there are no patches available, doesn't necessarily mean no mitigating actions can be taken. So, yeah, I do want to know about them.

In my experience with compliance (mostly NIST 800-53) auditors will not just want to see scans, but more importantly an assessment of whether found issues were applicable and what actions are being taken to mitigate. Maybe I have just been

I can't help but feel the author is a little misguided about the purpose of security scanners. Security is a dynamic process, and scanners are a tool to help compare the current state of your systems with the policies you have set. Out
