For reasons like that I learned to first write my answer in a text file and
then paste it :)

Thanks, I already found that. Unfortunately it sends me emails from all
threads which is somewhat spammy but I guess this is how mailing lists work.

> if there is enough outrage
Unfortunately I don't have a high traffic web site or anything like that to
bring it to the attention of enough people. So far I have shared my findings
1) in the bug reports 2) here and in openSUSE forum. Still I don't see
hundreds of people adding outrage to the bug reports, so I suppose they
either don't realize the actual issue, or put up with it, or their desire for
privacy is just verbal.
> We have to do both.
Of course. But the effort we put in securing current systems should probably
be only for the sake of developing a conceptually new one. Otherwise it is an
endless chase of a moving target which moves at speed which is beyond
anyone's capabilities.

Please share a link to another thread. I am interested to learn about your
ideas.

I wasn't too concerned about it before the announcement about Spectre and
Meltdown as I relied on the stronger process isolation mechanisms at lower
level (which is no longer reliable obviously).
