No, now or 10 years later, syntax error (like unclosed tag or missing quote) is a syntax error. Ignoring it is always a bad idea. Unknown tags / attributes, on the other hand, may be ignored for future compatibility.. but I believe XHT

Note this lists 3 vulnerabilities as an example: CVE-2016-5195 (Dirty COW), CVE-2019-5736 (host runc override) and CVE-2022-0185 (io_uring escape) Out of those, only first one is actually exploitable in common setups. CVE-2019-5736 requires

Note CVE-2025-31133 requires one of: (1) persistent container (2) attacker-controlled image. That means that as long as you always use "docker run" on known images (as opposed to "docker start"), you cannot be exploited

qgrep apparently beats ripgrep, and by a huge margin (20x) How is this possible? qgrep does not search from scratch, it creates "index" and searches it instead of on-disk files. The index is maintained manually, and the time to cr

Python wins hands-down in having readable code. Perl has so many ways to write the same code, no two codebases are the same - it's practically different languages. Back when I was programming Perl, I remember reading my own Perl script

Nothing, and that's the route we'll likely end up taking. It is just that we have money in the budget for those kinds of things, and there is existing product, we'd rather support their creators instead.

Some BSDs have concept of "securelevel" - a global setting that could be used to permanently put the system up into the mode which restricts certain operations, like writing to raw disks or truncating logs. The idea is if you want
