  @argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org My job at work is fuzzing hardware to find manufacturing defects, using every glitching tool available, including ultra deep cooling and heating. I need to learn how to find software defects as well, breaking out to get root or a shell to verify security. Slop coding has been a notorious culture within the Linux community for decades thanks to Redhat, especially with their systemD. Interestingly, they "depreciate" perfectly good Unix tools as "security fixes." My favorite example, ifconfig, I was able to set up my wireless with one ifconfig command line last night with a new OpenBSD install. That was it. Done. Same as it was 40 years ago. Can't do that with Linux anymore, everything Unix is badly broken and requires massive slop workarounds.
