Hmm, that doesn’t sound high-tech enough… I think we should implement something using blockchain and AI… Oh, is blockchain out of fashion already?

Somebody needs to invent theme-agnostic screenshots, so that you can take a screenshot of both light and dark mode at the same time

Liberalism or libertarianism?

Yeah but he was being pedantic over the word “impossibly”. If we can make 1 atom thin sheets, then it’s not impossible, right?

The fuck? Get off the internet for a bit and touch some grass

They serve different purposes, what’s wrong with having both bikes and cars? People live outside of cities too, you know

Is the recent XZ backdoor (and something that had to do with SSH too) anything to worry about in terms of the probability of there being a backdoor even in open source router software?

Not trying to dissuade anyone here, I love open source software, I’m just wondering how much effort is reasonable to be put into securing your local network (i.e. buying your own router, also installing open source software, or writing your own router software if you don’t trust existing solutions) given that not everyone is tech savvy and you get diminishing returns for every additional security measure. And when is the usual point at which you would say “okay, this is secure enough”?

My router is not from an ISP, but it does get frequent firmware updates and I don’t use any cloud management features, only local configuration.

I’m curious, does running open source software somehow exempt you from getting malware?
