Of geek interest: UUIDs have been around for a long time and they work well and interoperate fine, but the specification space is a mess. So the IETF just shipped RFC9562; it has a fine consideration of the history and the trade-offs involved in all the different flavors of UUIDs, and is well-written and I think, as of now, the place to start looking if something UUID-flavored is puzzling you. Strong work! https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9562.html

'Corona sloeg in Brabant harder toe. Het RIVM ziet verband met de vervuilde lucht.
De relatie tussen corona en o.a. de intensieve veehouderij was dus geen kwaadsprekerij of een hetze tegen boeren. Maar alles wat het machtige boerenbelang kan schaden wordt bij voorkeur weggemoffeld.' BD:
Me: So basically this was that "one bit of heavily used code maintained by some rando", and when he couldn't keep up. This random hero steps in to "help", and slowly introduces the vulnerability over the course of years.
Me: ... hold on. Is Nikita Popov... No. I've met him. He's this nice kid who... just... appeared out of nowhere...
