@joshbressers@infosec.exchange “If your first thought was software can’t cause explosive diarrhea you have never tried to debug C++.” LOL

@joshbressers@infosec.exchange definitely infuriating that the startups are getting gigabucks to shit on the repos while the repos themselves only get an occasional crumb

@joshbressers@infosec.exchange That was a nice post! But i guess even the soup metaphor is giving business too much credit. No one is planning or strategizing anything. It‘s all. just a shot from the hip, hoping to be John Wayne riding into the sunset.💁🏻♂️

@joshbressers@infosec.exchange good post. I like the metaphor. I have thought like that for a long time. Here is my personal take. Accept it as an immutable fact. You cannot beat it. The complexity and recursive aspect of it is what fundamentally make it works. The more we accept the constraints, the more we can find a solution. Because once you eliminated the impossible, what is left is the only thing that make sense. And that, to me, means that we are going to start realising that our boundary is _every single machine used by a FOSS maintainer_. You cannot secure just your own engineers machines. You cannot secure your perimeter. That ships sailed away somewhere in the 00s. So now, what we need, is that we need to make every machine that could end up being used by a FOSS Maintainer far more secure.... Time to invest in some thinking for the CLI and all these packages you mentioned.
