  1. Re:Not very serious on 'Venom' Security Vulnerability Threatens Most Datacenters · · Score: 5, Informative

    Seems a lot of hype about nothing to be honest and scaremongering.

    From venom.crowdstrike.com:

    Floppy drives are outdated, so why are these products still vulnerable?
    For many of the affected virtualization products, a virtual floppy drive is added to new virtual machines by default. And on Xen and QEMU, even if the administrator explicitly disables the virtual floppy drive, an unrelated bug causes the vulnerable FDC code to remain active and exploitable by attackers.

    If your boner for microkernals lasts more than 25 years, you should probably consult a physician.

    I recommend a look at Andrew S Tannenbaum's baby:

    MINIX 3 is a free, open-source, operating system designed to be highly reliable, flexible, and secure. It is based on a tiny microkernel running in kernel mode with the rest of the operating system running as a number of isolated, protected, processes in user mode. It runs on x86 and ARM CPUs, is compatible with NetBSD, and runs thousands of NetBSD packages.

    You know, sometimes this pretentious anti-entitlement bullshit is just getting too much on my nerves.
    Sometimes it's just a waste of time to argue with such people. They just state something and then you are expected to come up with a referenced list of refutations, while in reality, they were just trolling/astroturfing/swaying public opinion.
    Of course people, who are pushing ahead our capabilities are entitled to more demands than beancounters, who only focus on the balance of possible gains and expenses vs. risk.
    Vis-a-vis jklovanc, this would have been a moot argument, however, as apparently, he already formed an opinion - and we all know how easy it is to prove someone wrong and have him/her admit it.
    So I decided to do the next best thing and reinforce the opinions of entitled people to actually continue to feel entitled and push the boundaries further.
