How a single hack infected the world’s most important operating system.
Urgh this guy’s videos are soo long and overdramatic.
This is the Wikipedia article he read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor?wprov=sfla1
Much obliged for the link. Personally, I can’t stand the guy. Not only does he lean into sensationalism too much for my liking, but at least one of his videos - the one with Waymo - is just flat out advertising.
He’s also aggressively liberal. Watching him discuss politics (which he loves to shoehorn into math/physics videos) as someone significantly left of liberalism is infuriating.
Same with his video about Google DeepMind. Vastly oversold.
He used to be brilliant but the creep on the length has been insane. That said his video was good for the interviews, would have been a good podcast like that guy dark web diaries.
at 26:10 it says redhat ships rhel and fedora. I’m 99% sure this is just wrong. Redhat doesn’t maintain fedora, fedora is just a fork of rhel maintained by the community.
It’s right. While Fedora is a community project, Red Hat does hold a special place in it as its corporate sponsor. For example, the Fedora Project Leader position must be held by a Red Hat employee.
Yeah, it’s pretty much that Fedora is to Red Hat as Ubuntu is to Canonical. RHEL vs. Ubuntu Pro work a bit differently though.
You could argue it’s the other way around - Fedora is the upstream for RHEL.
