Hi folks, I'm pretty sure most of us have heard the news of the maintainer of Curl receiving hate mail[1], by now.
But, this incident shows the in general ingratitude that certain users show towards the free/open-source software that they use. Albeit, this kind of users are a very small minority, it shows that there is scope for improvement, in how we communicate the way open source works. Most live/prod systems that are running on linux, are an amalgamation of a multiple open-source projects and we cannot blame one for the failure of another, nor can we blame the incorrect use of a particular software because most things have very sensible default configs. When preparing such complicated prod environments, it makes sense to have an *open-source security check-list*. [1]: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/02/19/i-will-slaughter-you/ -- Tejas Sanap.
