Well, I do that. But if all hell breaks loose around you, that does not help much.
Probably. That is a business mind-set though and those universally lead to crappy engineering. Just look at Boeing for a second example.
You have far too much faith in this crappy thing that MS essentially forced on everybody to implement DRM.
Sure. But when you have systems that handle your keys to the kingdom, you want to find out who successfully attacked them. Without logs that is next to impossible. And you need that info to fix the vulnerability the attackers came in on. Not saying that you should keep any and all logs and I have personally edited logs when I screwed up pretty much like your example, but for systems with very high criticality you need to spend the effort and handle the logs on the same criticality and confidentiality level.
Well, Slackware is the Holy Grail, obviously. I am lazy, so I use Devuan and occasionally have a look at Gentoo.
If you trust cops with a backdoor, it is only a matter of time before that backdoor is compromised.
Indeed. Same with anybody. The NSA, FBI, regular cops, judges, etc. All have examples of corruption and selfish illegal acts. That is why no backdoor will ever be secure.
Indeed. I mean, even the NSA has had attack code stolen now and that did quite a bit of damage. There are no harmless or "safe" backdoors and not fixing vulnerabilities is always bad for everyone. No idea why this needs to be re-stated time and again.
Naa, police forces are there to keep the rich safe against the unwashed masses. All that "serve & protect" stuff is just the marketing narrative.
What else is new? These people are a threat, nothing else.
I've heard there are more slaves now than at any time in history. Of course that might not be true if normalized to a percentage of the work force; but the mere fact that it even still exists is of course awful. We've sanitized slavery by re-naming it as "convict labor" or in this case pushing it overseas and wrapping it in layers to disclaim responsibility.
Task: Recite as many digits of pi as you can.
Me: 3.14159. I know there are ways to get more.
AI: Arbitrary number of digits subject only to some hard-coded constraint, as well as able to tell you about all the algorithms for approximating pi along with their strengths and weaknesses, then run the algorithms for you.
Let's see 29 Watts do that.
Neutrinos have bad breadth.
