The Internet Was Weeks Away From Disaster and No One Knew

Very good video from Veritasium about that big backdoor issue on Linux recently:
Of course this is an issue with our trade based society 100%. How? Easy:
If we lived in a society where trading was not a necessity and provided for all equally, we would have no reason to have tribes with borders, exploit other tribes, fight against each other when we are all in fact a big tribe, the human tribe.
Overall it is a cancerous trade society where humans are livestock and wolves. Consuming and being consumed.
The only sane way out of it is to HELP PEOPLE DETACH FROM THE TRADE SOCIETY. So they can be people and focus on RELEVANT STUFF.
Else it is a game of those who want to exploit and those who try to stop them. Endless....

The Internet Was Weeks Away From Disaster and No One Knew
We, like everyone else, couldn't look away from the Veritasium video on the XZ vulnerability.
While there is a lot to address, an important point of this story sticks out to us at OSTIF- that it was best practices, the secondary review of code before a push, that caught this before disaster struck.
Watch the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoag03mSuXQ to learn more details about this incredible story of open source security and community.

Eine unendliche Geschichte: Asbest — kein Unglück, eine Entscheidung.
Das @Veritasium Video "The Asbestos Problem" dokumentiert erneut die dramatischen Schattenseiten einseitigen Profitstrebens. Dasselbe Muster findet sich bei Tabakkonzernen der 1950er, bei DuPonts PFAS, verbleitem Benzin und Mikroplastik: Konzerne wussten, schwiegen und verheimlichten. Erst öffentlicher Aufschrei nach Jahrzehnten erzwang Verhaltensänderung.
Kapitalismus ist das Rückgrat unserer Gesellschaft. Aber wenn einzelne Konzerne die Ethik begraben, zerstören sie genau die Gesellschaft, für die das System arbeiten soll. Aufgeklärter, verantwortlicher Umgang ist kein Luxus - er ist Selbstverteidigung.
Hervorragende, belegte Recherche. So sollte Wissenschaftsjournalismus aussehen.

Veritasium covers the #xz compromise. This is well done. It starts off explaining open source. It explains encryption and compression. It explains software dependencies. It explains how the back door would have worked. Good watch.

Father of two, husband, gamer, lover of free software, and willing teacher.
I am still in awe after watching "The Internet Was Weeks Away From Disaster And No One Knew It" from #veritasium. Easily the best video I've ever seen explaining software vulnerabilities and other technologies in such a clear and concise manner.
