> IPSec is terrible, huge, and messy standard that company that made it took 20 years to stop getting CVE every year

This is fact, not FUD.

Microsoft has had multiple RCE vulns in their ipsec stack in the last two years.

The big vendors like Cisco had ipsec vulns for decades.

These days the issues are pretty well known and documented, but it really is a bad standard.

Teens gets Thinkpads as hand-me-downs from parents and as used devices in the aftermarket. Lenovo has also spent some considerable efforts in this advertising space. That's why I just call them Teenpads now.

You have a terminal case of taking yourself too seriously, I'm afraid. 0-80 years, tops.

It's not

Webdevs still security ignorant. Actually just ignorant. Not sorry to say that because it's beyond true.

The word "advert" is nowhere on that page, so I know it's worthless.

At least half of all HN content on any day is self-serving blogs and plausibly deniable adverts.

Some good advice but terrible form. Some of you software people have a loud, pretentious, and arrogant ego problem.

With self-serving advertblogs like this, I always imagine that Simpsons episode where Bart has a pot on his head and is banging two pans together, yelling "I AM SO GREAT, I AM SO GREAT, EVERYBODY LOVES ME, I AM SO GREAT!" lol

Thank you for your comment. This wasn't my intention, but I'll consider this aspect in future.

Why don't you know anything about the history of btrfs? You would know if you knew anything, so why don't you know?

Anyone who was an adult in this industry back in 2021 remembers the wacky funding shit going on.

This is not surprising in any way.

They have a desperate need for false-victimhood.

Without their claim to victimization, they can't justify their hatred.

> Subtle product placement and propaganda is not easy in text

Reddit.

I'm sure you have a point here, but I have no clue what you're referring to. Reddit is indeed a very astroturfed place but you typically opt into it by joining a subreddit that actively caters to discussion of products or discussion of politics—not exactly what I would refer to as "subtle".

And if someone is using an LLM for either topic, my sympathy goes out the window. Same as with reddit. E.g. if you take the discourse on /r/worldnews seriously, you deserve to be propagandized.
