    Yeah, and those amounts are much more common when organizations are pushing for users to make their donation a monthly recurring donation resulting in much smaller transactions. I …

    LS seems to not be claiming any security promise on Linux because it can't make any guarantees given eBPF limitations. But the entire purpose is different and there is very little …

    That seems... not correct? The comment was asking about preventing a compromised supplier for the developers. A supply chain attack can be anywhere in the supply chain to the targe…

    This is in fact true (in the US at least), but part of why it is true is that people don't wash dishes the way they used to (with multiple bins of soapy + rinse water) and instead …
