Netgear is the first consumer router company to spam me about being compliant with Trump's FCC's policies.

Coincidentally they're also a company I stopped buying routers from many years ago due to built-in backdoors they couldn't fix with a firmware upgrade.

The Salt Typhoon hack ended the debate on safe lawful access. State-sponsored attackers didn't just breach networks; they explicitly targeted mandated wiretap systems. Backdoors don't just weaken security; they become the ultimate prize for advanced adversaries. 1/2

My pet peeve, as a Linux distro and upstream maintainer since forever: being told things that we do on the regular are impossible.

Hot take: more projects need a regression policy like the linux kernel.

It doesn't matter if what a change is doing is "technically" correct, if it breaks a bunch of other stuff, it's that projects responsibility that it doesn't.

No "this was technically illegal" or "you just misused the API", "you relied on UB behavior" nonsense.

If you want to push forward a breaking change, makes sure the users had reasonable amount of time to adjust before pushing breaking changes forward.

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Guillotine T-shirt. I know inflation has been rough lately. But it's important to understand that inflation doesn't affect everything. For example, while grocery costs have skyrocketed the price of guillotines has remained relatively stable.
