"misconfigurations" If you use a trivially guessable root password or install sketchy vulnerable third party software all bets are off regardless of how good Linux is. But I bet that had they had SELinux enforcing or running fapolicyd (standard built in security features) they wouldn't have been hacked.
PHP has been a disaster since the beginning. People start out as novice programmers who don't know about better with PHP and it happily lets them shoot themselves in the foot. It's as if the language was specifically designed to encourage it, even. Also check out https://reddit.com/r/lolphp for a long list of PHP fails. Go update your WordPress and all plugins, too. You know it needs it.
I am founder/mod on 8 subreddits. They are not censored or "managed" in any way other than removing obvious commercial spam and harmful scams solely per my own personal preferences as the moderator. I've never had any communications with reddit corporate.

I was 100% Linux since before Win 95 came out. Windows 3.1 was the last Windows I ever had installed on any machine I owned.
How does secure boot reduce malware? Boot sector viruses etc have been out of style for decades. All of the malware that I'm familiar with did it's thing after the boot process. It seems like it is protecting against a largely theoretical attack.
I just checked and it looks like my post history only goes back to 2011? DId slashdot dump all of the older stuff?
My UID number here is four digits. I used to write a LOT here. So unfortunate if they had to blow away all of the old stuff.
I saw this on Facebook, commented there, but then decided I should log in here, just for old time's sake, and comment the same:
The year of the Linux Desktop was 1995 for me.
Check my post history going back nearly that far. Wow, I haven't logged into slashdot in many years. Once Facebook, reddit, etc. came along they totally replaced slashdot in my mind. I'm glad to see that it's still here.
I remember when MP3s were new and artists were upset that people didn't have to buy the whole album. We heard a lot of bleating about how an album is one unit of art and should be enjoyed as such. Artists can be such whiny bitches. They got over that once they figured out how to be paid for individual songs (iTunes etc). Take your money and leave us to enjoy it as we wish.
Nobody likes to "get behind the airplane". I execute checklists as soon as practical and get things set up for the next phase of flight as soon as possible so we're ready. Exceptions being things in the class of the feather on the ship in question: Flaps, landing gear, mostly airspeed and aerodynamics dependent items.

As someone who has learned both spoken languages and programming languages to fluency (whatever that might mean in this case) I can tell you that allowing CS to replace the requirement for 2 years of a spoken foreign language is a huge mistake. As if we don't have enough narrow minded jingoistic Americans running about scarcely aware of the cultures outside our borders. If you want a good IT job learn both. It is entirely possible. I took two years of both in high school, no problem. You may have to give up your goof-off elective for a couple semesters but it is certainly doable in most schools.

...only once the rods of cooled sufficiently (a few years). Until then they must stay in the pools.
The radiator in the car requires a pump and, of course, a radiator. I think evaporative cooling (the current method) is the best way to go. If you seal it and pump it you must have the pump working and airflow over the radiator at all times. It is more complicated.
