Just to be pendantic, a malicious user could write a script / program that implements tunneling but doesn't use the OS provided certificates. But yeah that's definitely a best practice.

Yeah I don't get where this "Linux is more secure" thing comes from. Basically any userspace program can read your .aws, .ssh, .kube, etc... The user based security model desktops have is the real issue. Compare that with And

In general for a great experience on the desktop you want to use the native stack of each platform, so C# / Windows SDK in Windows, GTK in most Linux distros and whatever Mac officially recommends. You could use electron and build cros

My opinion on hcl: better than yaml / json, worse than Python / Typescript / most real languages. In fact I will use a real programming language for IaC over pretty much anything, as long as the language has an expressive typ

AI Winter was related to neural networks existing but computers not being fast enough to handle the amount of data needed to train them + massive datasets themselves not existing. So far, I'd say no? New models are still being develope
