Quick update: talked to my boss and he’ll be moving it “soon”. I think I’ll just wfh for the rest of the day.
Update 2: my boss apologized and moved the printer and resins out. 😊 I popped by after work tonight and it still smells but it’s not bad now.
Not sure what you mean here, this is what the forum post said:
After emailing (admittedly not current best practice), the passwords are hashed and only the hash is stored.
But in situations like this there is a much larger chance it’s being stored in plain text.
I suppose, but OP said in the title that the passwords were being stored in plaintext, despite that not being the case.
People weren’t really nitpicking.
What’re you doing? I’d recommend Mikrotik, since you can do just about anything on it for cheap. It does however have a significant learning curve.
Depends. I use vendor forums for vendor-specific Q&A (like the forums for ESP32, Mbed, FreeRTOS, etc). For other project questions, I open a Github issue with the “question” tag. Before, I used Reddit but it was rare that I’d get a “good” answer out of it.
I used to mod on SO and a few SEs, but deleted my accounts a few years back. It’s just a mix of low-quality submissions, over-bearing moderators/admins, and bad culture & etiquette. I still regularly use SO when looking up questions, but I haven’t participated on there in a long while. I’ve mostly gone back to smaller forums and mailing lists.
I look at the contributors on Github and check them out. I’ll check out what else they’ve worked on and maybe see if they have an account on mastodon or twitter. Maybe I’ll ask some friends if they’ve used or heard of the product, or know of the devs.
There is indeed malware disguised as OSS and you do sometimes have to vet them. I’ll skim the codebase and see if there’s anything that looks weird or funky, but that’s not perfect (like in the case of the xz) and some stuff can slip by.
