and even if you do slap that stupid fucking made in the USA badging on whatever dipshit IoT device, chips and software are still produced elsewhere. Bet me that they'll shove fuckin goahead webs http server or boa httpd on it, and it'll be just as shit as it was before.

@da_667 Not to mention being absolutely stuffed full of cgi-bin stuff running as root, calling system() with string interpolation instead of making properly parameterized execve() calls...

@becomethewaifu @da_667 The absolute nonsense in the web UI and similar is even worse because it is more or less hardware agnostic(or could be). Bugs in wifi firmware blobs and things exist and aren't good; but at least there's a reason why the entire industry can't just use the same wifi blob that they've been polishing carefully for two decades. Web server brokenness is almost entirely pointless wheel-reinventing.
