tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

These days, there are angry ghosts all around us - dead from wars, sickness, starvation - and nobody cares. So you say you’re under a curse? So what? So’s the whole damn world.

Of all transwomen, a third are what we call “Core Transwomen”. These are the women whose names begin with “Al-”. We’re talking “Alice”, “Allison”, “Alicia”, “Alyssa”, “Alana”, “Aleah”, and so on. Women with these names are always trans and have always been trans. Next we have the “Inner Ring Transwomen”. These are the ones whose names begin with “A-”, but didn’t have enough points to afford an “L”, like the cool kids. Here you have “Amelia”, “Amber”, “Amy”, “Anna”, and so on. Some women with names beginning with “A-” have also, at times in our history, even been cisgender. However, these are believed to have died out during the last glaciation. Finally, we come to the “Outer Ring Transwomen”. These have names beginning with “E-” or, rarely, “I-”. They are commonly named “Emma”, “Emily”, “Esther”, “Elizabeth”, or “Isabella”. These names are problematic, because they sometimes lead to confusion with ciswomen. While ciswomen long ago abandoned the open plains of the letter “A”, they have not yet been cleared from all the other vowels. As part of the Millennium Development Goals, we are hoping to phase out all ciswomen with “E-” names by 2020. It may interest the reader to learn that there are a total of six transwomen currently outside of this system. However, every single one of them is named “Sam”.

A funny thing about the xz vulnerability is that it was both very concerning and kind of the system working as intended.
The issue was caught by someone working on Debian testing, which is the bleeding edge upstream branch intended for testers, developers, and overall integration smoothing. Most critical systems in the world are running some kind of versioned stable release Linux which is intended to provide time for these kinds of issues to be ironed out upstream before you upgrade.
There are people who advocate for more systems to move to rolling, and there are certainly some issues with the current model, to me the biggest one is that the linux project and linux vendors use different versions for long term support which results in a lot of work duplicated and more opportunities for issues to slip through the cracks, but by and large the rolling/versioned split avoids these problems in most cases.
The people doing xz knew this, which was why they were trying to push for it to be an emergency update that had to go out to everyone.
#programming#cyber security#linux#i'm glad most critical infrastructure is on a versioned system for this reason#but for my personal use case i'll always prefer a rolling release (in my case arch) so that i can update any part at any time
