I think the key thing you are missing here is that most successful open source maintainers don’t lack expertise, they lack time. They are generally capable of improving their projects in any direction they want without help. Mentoring new c

For me, the primary issue with it is that I have zero intention of getting locked in to AWS. All the marketing looks great, but I don’t invest energy learning tools I can’t run locally. I’m happy to use AWS but only if I can see the exit. T

I think the key right now is that these are semi-automated scanning processes. Right now, companies like step security selectively publish. So, in order for a hacking group to find out if their malware is detected or not, they have to burn

The one week cooldown option is not relying on other users to be a canary for you. Its just giving automated scanners a chance to notice. This is the perfect example. I don't think step security found this by accident. They are activel

I wouldn't call it theft, exactly. Presumably work did get done. If I'm reading it right, its just a terrible conflict of interest. The board uses donations to pay companies to work on LibreOffice. That seems totally fine. Some of

For desktop usage, I would be absolutely shocked if ext4 isn't the most common filesystem by a pretty wide margin. Its the default on Ubuntu, Debian, and Mint. Those are the 3 leading desktop distros. No one is going to write a blog po

I believe you stated the problem in a way that its unsolvable. Charge your customers money, so you can work for them. I'm not nearly as certain as you are that Netscape failed because it was charging money. Netscape just stopped updati

I wouldn't mix OAuth and OIDC up when thinking about this. OAuth is a chaotic ecosystem, but OIDC is fairly well standardized. OIDC actually does have a discovery mechanism standardized to convert an email address into an authoritative
