For each thing "everyone knows," there are tons of people learning about it for the first time right now . https://xkcd.com/1053/
It's definitely a point worth remembering. I sometimes think about AWS's one year free tier offerings and think.. WTF doesn't have an AWS account and would still be signing up in 2021? In reality it's probably a lot of people.
People just keep being born.

#23There are 634 CVE Records that match your search. https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=imagemagick There have been a number of zero days. My entire interaction with Imagemagick has been removing it. Often with great difficulty because there is some odd dependency.
I suppose it's probably a good idea to wrap it in a microservice in production.

AWS free tier offerings are per account; a person (or organization) can have lots of AWS accounts. The people signing up for a new one today may well be people that already have one.

Airgapped computer, it's the only way to be sure.

#28I always found it fascinating the grade-A executable names which imagemagick was able to claim in the global namespace: imagemagick /usr/bin/animate imagemagick /usr/bin/compare imagemagick /usr/bin/composite imagemagick /usr/bin/conjure imagemagick /usr/bin/convert imagemagick /usr/bin/display imagemagick /usr/bin/identify imagemagick /usr/bin/import imagemagick /usr/bin/mogrify imagemagick /usr/bin/montage imagemag…
Thankfully as of v7 these are all bundled under a single "magick" command (with symlinks for compatibility). Hopefully in the future these can be removed

#29ImageMagick is an incredible bit of kit. It really is a piece of magic that surrounds us daily, that most people don't ever think about, but is easy to use, and insanely powerful.
Ditto for ffmpeg when you move into the audio or video realms.
ffmpeg, the command line tool, is wonderful, until you try its library libav* (not to be confused with the ffmpeg fork). The library is… a bit short of wonderful, at least in my experience. Namely: there is basically zero official documentation for it.

Image magick has been around for a pretty long time, and was doing image processing on linux before most had considered it.
