Pretty much. Good luck keeping it from the Chinese Government, NSA, or skilled unaffiliated adversaries.

Anonymous Stallman?

There has been angst with the OpenBSD developers too. Seems like they've managed to piss everyone off.

I remember when I was studying my RHCE in a local small college. My instructor & mentor RIP, really great guy had lots of good things to say about lwn when I brought it up once.

He's just saying this because of Apple is not longer dominate to creative people. Linux (industrial proprietary software) and even Windows and Microsoft's hardware is growing impressive. Even wacom is still going strong. Apple pencil is targeted to consumers; Apple is a consumer company. They're not innovating so of course he's taking the hipster marketing route. Steve Jobs chose a good successor that can make you believe what is coming out of his mouth isn't marketing.

The slashdot community has so much bickering in this thread, it's no wonder we still haven't gotten a handle on security. Hardly anyone understands this stuff.

Where can I read about your security setup?

Honest question for someone who dropped Windows decades ago. How do admins even take their security seriously when their tools have these issues. Something similar happened with, I believe it was, ccleaner a couple months ago. I mean what is the rationale behind infosec in Windows shops?

Remember when Apple strived to create an actual worthy hardware from scratch? Stuff like Powerbook that was on par with Dell Precision mobile workstations without the weight and bloat? Remember when Apple iterated on Mac OS in a hard effort of plug-and-play compatibility with all sorts of peripherals from consumer digital cameras to high end production equipment? Printers, scanners, third party devices that you could buy in the B&M Apple store and plug into any of their products and it just worked? A Powerbook with USB and OS X was all you needed and blew the competition out of the water. Granted this is a low effort rant, but my how far we've come.

I thought the exact same thing, from the headline to TFA. I suppose it's the obligatory CNET Defcon article.

This drama is on every relevant website.

Just look at printer ink. DRM is a racket. Also most "content creators" aren't even compensated.

Linux should do like OpenBSD did with pf and just replace it. All this yelling and screaming just turns people away.

I don't see the issue. Some guy was playing around with an isolated OpenBSD machine and found a bug that results in a DoS, and you go directly to Theo rather than filing a bug report (on the project that founded transparent development decades ago). I'm sorry but shit story.

He didn't say they were "real sources."
