I am a bit surprised by the panic...
IIRC it had minimal HN discussion.
No offense but Anthropic says that every time.
I suppose this kind of stuff is why you will find some places who roll Debian in prod but almost never find Ubuntu?
on laptops etc. its less impwct because (i think) most people are sensible enough not to have all kinds of listeners open all the time?/(right guys??? ...RIGHT GUYS???)
dont forget it can also be used as LPE if its a local host listener. and LLMs can bake u a nice exploit for it too.
Go Debian or perhaps consider freeBSD or OpenBSD if your workloads permit. they are more feasible, and sensible by the day, not just trying to poop on Linux, its simply much more targeted for now, and because it moves faster, and thus is bigger, it will have more holes.
a lot of ball dropping all around lately in lots of incidents and CVE. stay safe out there!
I am not contributing to Ubuntu in any way, and that puts it into perspective.
(I still directly contribute to OSS and release OSS projects, but absolutely refuse to engage with the least bit of hostility. Any of that is an insta-block.)
Edit: Whoah the downvotes and comments. I'm not saying that Ubuntu is doing well here. I'm trying to point out that a a vast percentage of the complainers are not paying customers, and maybe if they did pay, Ubuntu would have more incentive and resources to work more quickly.
But, imagine if the complaint vs paid ratio were more equal.
Right now, the ratio is massively skewed towards complainers vs paid. (>99.9% I'd guess)
