I'm having a few thoughts on social norms. I'm used to IRC and Usenet, where a channel or group is understood to be an open forum and, when people make a statement, it is seen as normal for anyone else, acquainted or not, to respond to it, even tangentially.
But on more social-network-style graph-based communications where the flow is determined by a follow edge between nodes or something like it, a lot of people find it disturbing or invasive to have strangers pop into their mentions to rebut, add, or jump off from their point.
I think this causes a lot of friction and expectation mismatches. I don't think either norm is wrong, though it is useful if people make it clear which one they're expecting.
For the avoidance of doubt, I'm an IRC-type person. If I'm posting public or unlisted, I do not mind strangers to disagree with me, add their own twist, or give their own reaction. I will also respect the desire of graph people who don't want me to do that to them.
Leider wird gerne "Der Westen" noch als die #IT-Übermacht gesehen.
»Nordkorea – Wie Kims Elite-#Hacker zum globalen #Sicherheit'sproblem werden: #Nordkorea ist international isoliert und seine Ressourcen sind begrenzt – doch im #Cyber'bereich gehört das Land zur #Weltspitze. Dass selbst westliche Großkonzerne nicht sicher vor Kims Cybersoldaten sind, beweist das Regime immer wieder. Experten warnen, dass die kritische #Infrastruktur westlicher Länder gefährdet ist«
Any #infosec folks recommend the best #cyber contractor hiring in vicinity of Ft. Eisenhower? (Ft. Gordon). A friend is looking for an established contractor with good benefits hiring people at GS-13 equivalent level to staff CYBERCOM, TRADOC or other major commands. #USArmy
Three years ago, #FDroid had a similar kind of attempt as the #xz#backdoor. A new contributor submitted a merge request to improve the search, which was oft requested but the maintainers hadn't found time to work on. There was also pressure from other random accounts to merge it. In the end, it became clear that it added a #SQLinjection#vuln. In this case, we managed to catch it before it was merged. Since similar tactics were used, I think its relevant now
@sehe@gentoobro Free software passion projects are wonderful things. Payment often kills the passion that makes them great. Maintenance of infrastructure is not a passion project and that is what we all should be paying for. I see the #EU moving towards this kind of funding. There are many opportunities for doing this well: for example, orgs like #NSA get billions to improve #cyber-defense. But they are subordinate to the offensive side who want the 0days. This needs to be exactly the opposite.

Cyber Safety Review Board Releases Report on Microsoft Online Exchange Incident from Summer 2023
Highly recommend you do so, or at least read the executive summary its 🔥
"The Board finds that this intrusion was preventable and should never have occurred. The Board also concludes that Microsoft’s security culture was inadequate and requires an overhaul..."
The xz issue highlights once again that we can't just hope that private sector corporations invest in the #opensource that makes their business (and profits) possible.
Perhaps we need public sector investment in carefully selected open source - and by that I don't mean the big fancy stuff, but the tiny tools that most people don't even know is there - like xz.
After all - how much of the world around us would collapse if all open source vanished at midnight?
