"Security weenies claim security via obscurity doesn't work, but it absolutely does if you like to use data and respect what it tells you. Check the number of security CVEs for operating systems like OpenVMS, MPE/IX, and see how they compare with Linux or Windows. By volume, the most popular OSes get the most attacks and successful exploits."

That is not security by obscurity. It's security by unpopularity.

The OpenWRT folks improved a lot their web interface and how to find the right - easy to install - router.

It's still too complicated for the average person.

You can also choose a GL.iNET router which runs OpenWRT natively

That doesn't address how difficult it is to configure. Again, for a normal person who doesn't know what any of those settings mean. If you want normal people to be able to do this you're going to need to develop a config wizard for luci.

Then why did you say "The fact that these OSes allow even *root* to make changes to the OS, is insecure in itself" when root has access to rewrite the entire OS? Could it perhaps be because you don't know what you're talking about and you're casting around desperately to look like you do? Don't bother answering, it's obvious.

Journal Journal: Signal, Whatsapp, Telegraph 2

Is it just me or are these three platforms the arena of bad decision making in startup businesses? When somebody tries to lure me off of social media into one of these three platforms, alarm bells start ringing in my mind. If you're leading your business with communications on Signal or Whatsapp, just know that I for one will not be taking your business seriously.
