I can second this. Their sales people have such poor behaviour that I am considering moving away simply on principle. There is nothing predictable about being on an enterprise contract and they will hit you with bullshit overage charges like using too many dns requests (wtf??) all of a sudden to force you onto a much larger contract. On the 28th of December no less ! We have used them for a very long time but I am having very big doubts about how much we can use them in the future even though their products are great.
Big +1 for Bunny.net - I moved my current company to Bunny and it's been excellent. Super fast (for our PoPs at least), reasonable pricing, love the image optimizer & edge rules (especially for solving header issues when embedding documents), has a Terraform provider, and I was able to set most of it up in a day. Was a night and day difference from GCP's Cloud CDN
rm will unapologetically delete files instead of using the "trash bin" semantics that many people are used to. Some would define that as "faulty", and it can certainly cause "harm" (a "rm fuckup" is almost a rite of passage).
You can find many such almost banal examples, ranging from well-known tools to some project a student uploaded on GitHub that sees basically 0 traffic. Opening up Open Office to a lawsuit also means opening up countless GitHub projects from 15-year olds riddled with SQL injections and the like, but also things I put on my GitHub five years ago and don't really care about. Ignoring a PR would mean risking a lawsuit.
Plus, do we really want government involved in telling us what software we can and can't put on the internet? Because that's what this would mean.
"They should be sued for distributing outdated insecure software" is a fun one-liner, but the ramifications if it would actually happen are huge and almost entirely negative for the Open Source world.
I think you’d have at the very very least specify an actual harm against you, and even then you’d likely be told immediately that they have no obligation to provide anything given there’s no support contract.
So they shouldn't fund adding local weather to task bar while there are potential security flaws anywhere in the OS? This seems like a sillier straw man.
You have to look at the customers. If you push for Linux throughout your organisation and you got hit with a linux zero day, it's your fault.
If you use MS, then it's Microsoft s fault, you won't be blamed because almost everyone was exposed to it and you got hit.
These companies also have older workforce who are used to windows and the switch would be difficult. Yes I know some older users would be fine but that is not the majority.
It's similar to the "no one got fired for buying oracle" situation
I would expect only Bitcoin markets to have the liquidity and depth where one can easily buy 5 million worth of coins. Similarly when the hackers want to sell the coins again.
Nah there are dozens of options where you could easily move 5 million a day. They are probably using bitcoin because it's easiest for the victim to pay in. I assume they would rotate it through zcash/monero before they spend it
