My opinion is that AI will kill Linux eventually. Not now, not when Linus uses it, because Linus knows how to code and is careful. But eventually the crappy vibe-coded junk will seep into the kernel. And then you'll get Microsoft-style code quality issues.

You should probably also read the ticket where eMudhra is removed because it clarifies a few things.
They're using Ultimaco HSMs, but it seems likely they weren't willing to pay the HSM vendor to unlock a feature, so they rolled their own and ended up generating the bad keys off-device and then loading them into the HSM externally. So it's less likely that the HSM itself was bad and more likely they did something insecure and dumb to be cheap. There are some pointed questions there which they've just decided not to answer so far, including things they should be able to provide like the key generation script.

Russian sites like Yandex, Rutube, VKvideo... are great to find porn. But if they go down, I'll take the minor inconvenience for the sake of Ukraine.
More seriously, Yandex has been throttling queries rather aggressively lately, and I'm pretty sure it has something to do with their compute going up in smoke due to Ukrainian drones.

What I worry about is when Bob in the junior software dev team, who does his job to put food on the table, and just good enough to keep his job, uses it to vibe-code company data as his day job.
