I guess we're also going to have to ban movies like A Clockwork Orange then. Stanley Kubrick and all the other people involved in production? 100% bad people. Careful on that slippery slope, you might fall and break something!

Software that has only dynamically linked binaries available for it (and no source) are one such example. The main Azure CLI tool is built in Python but it downloads binaries for certain actions on the fly if it needs them. These are a majo

Yes, the initial setup and troubleshooting of IPSec can be a nightmare. I've spent hours on bridges with people getting it up and running properly. Wireguard is a damn simple breath of fresh air. There's so little to configure and
