    Millions of Windows machines got hit yesterday with NotPetya, so this DNS vulnerability is proof that Linux is just as insecure because millions of Linux machines... didn't.

    No kidding. Do all of you folks see my amazed look? :/

    SystemD has 617 issues open and there is no sign of all issues being resolved this decade.
