@dangoodin @triskelion Dan, thank you for following up. I do not speak for the Linux Foundation, so I cannot address any of the items you highlighted in any official way. However, two important facts to keep in mind: 1) at the time of the break-in, k.org infrastructure was NOT managed by LF. It was managed by a team of volunteers from the kernel development community. LF only took the stewardship of k.org infrastructure several months after the incident. I believe I was the first actual LF employee to get access to k.org infrastructure, and that was in November of 2011, when I started at the Foundation. 2) the findings in the paper about "2 years" were as new to me as to everyone else, and I have no idea about the source on which they base this claim. I believe that all hardware involved in the compromise was turned over to the FBI as part of the investigation and I didn't get to touch any of it -- physically or otherwise.
For the transparency aspect of things, I want to direct you to my talk I gave to the Linux Security Summit last year: https://youtu.be/K3SVt1WCheY?si=KbbCWTGCypfFTdSy
In it, I go over a lot of things, including how we try to make ourselves more resilient to any repeat compromises, should they happen (or if they already have and we just don't know it yet).
HTH.

@becomingwisest I'm not out to be rude. I just forwarded it up the chain.

@triskelion @dangoodin Dude, I don't know what I did to make you hostile to me. I wasn't there when any promises were made by previous k.org admins and I've certainly made transparency the core principle of our work. /o\

@wyatt8740 When reading "Equal Rites," do you get the vibe that JK Rowling also read that book and went "huh, an outcast applying for a wizarding school, that's a pretty neat plot"?

Heh, this dude emailed the helpdesk address at 4:40PM my time asking for a comment on a sensitive matter, and gave me a 2-hour turnaround to respond.

I've got to admit that ChatGPT 4o does a lot better at complex baseball scenarios than its predecessors. It still gives me invalid answers every now and again, but now they aren't nearly as frequent.
Just as a synth would do.

I'd like to know how someone can manage to find the helpdesk address on the kernel.org site, and yet not figure out that, you know, maybe it's not the site for the restaurant chain launched by the former Chipotle Mexican Grill CEO.

bagder@mastodon.socialIt has been a long time coming, but I've made it official:
"Daniel no longer answers questions on stackoverflow. Use a dedicated public curl forum for accurate and timely answers about anything #curl. "
(yes, speaking about myself in 3rd person)

If instead of a trifecta of achievements you only manage to reach a single one, that's still a solid monofectum.

I'm so sorry if you're waiting on me! I am trying to get things down to something reasonable, but people just keep emailing me back and ruining my perfectly good downward trends. :)

Me: "please follow these steps to make it work"
Person: "but what if I don't and try to do it my own way?"
...(shortly after)...
Person: "help, I've tried everything and it's not working"

billy joe bowers - hates nazis
billyjoebowers@mastodon.onlineEvery day I read theories about why the media favors Nazis and gives bad coverage to Biden,.
"They're trying to make it a horse race"
"Incompetence"
"Ratings"
But never "Billionaires own the companies and they're on the side of the Nazis", which seems like the simpler, more obvious explanation to me.

Mike McCue
mike@flipboard.comThe big problem with Tesla that this article misses completely is that many of Tesla's most enthusiastic customers (like I once was) no longer want to support a person who is actively promoting hateful conspiracy theories and providing nazis and Russians with a platform to disrupt the upcoming U.S. election.
