Tom, this video looks and sounds great. Good focus, good audio. I know that’s nothing to do with the content, but since you’re trying new shooting locations, I thought I’d say something.

[@LAWRENCESYSTEMS]

Thank you

[@joeleone6276]

I think my major concern about open source software in 2022 is the fact that there could have been backdoors slipped into modules such as the Log4J vulnerability.

[@parl-88]

Well said....As always. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@michaela3909]

Open source for life! Keep up the good work!

[@lanceeilers5061]

Hey Tom thanks a bunch for the gold nuggets , learning stax , I tool alook at your ansible vids , thought you may want to add a couple more perhaps this year - especially around changing parameters in config / php.ini files and passing it via ansible 3 vm's at the same time .... have a great one best regards Lance :-)

Citrix’s XenServer (Center) has a few undisclosed vulnerabilities I’ve found, hence the reason why I ditched it. They happen to keep some vital information in plain text and XML files.. really not good.

[@longnamedude3947]

Report it? Can't fix something if you're not made aware of it existing

[@MinecraftAzsassin]

peter geary That’s why it’s undisclosed - it’s been reported

[@longnamedude3947]

@@MinecraftAzsassin I wasn't sure if you were saying that you hadn't disclosed it, I misinterpreted what you typed

[@MinecraftAzsassin]

peter geary all good. It was pretty alarming to find them. XCP-NG’s is more secure

[@napoleonsmith7793]

thanks

[@SmedleyButler1]

great vid thx. How does a non-programmer know if an OS has been thoroughly checked after each update, for backdoors and keyloggers? I can't find anyone talking about this.

[@LAWRENCESYSTEMS]

You rely on third parties to audit the sofware.

[@MirkWoot]

Good points. .. not so security related, but heard some people just refuse it because it might be free, and therefor.. not attractive, good, able to sell it to people so well. (Makes me think of apple products for some reason). .. The maybe silly things that can worry me about opensource is, when was it last updated? and who is writing and reviewing it?, if i am unknowingly using something that has fallen in popularity, 1 man left who updates it, and what if he decides to be bad. Buuuut all of that can happen with the closed too, and still i and others got chance to review.

[@bradleystannard3492]

microsoft should make open source update code so we can try figure out when they push updates

[@XRPXLM]

Is ELLIPAL safe because it’s closed source Android and from Hong Kong? I’m scared now

[@jaymills1573]

Linux FTW!

[@Felix-ve9hs]

Yes and No, it depends

[@rea280]

What a useless comment

[@zstation64]
