       @lanodan I know it's mean but I low-key enjoy watching horrible vulnerabilities or IT failures unfolding when they don't affect me

       @drewdevault It's mean but at the same time, identifying SPOFs is something all somewhat critical infras ought to be doing.And then actual software audits but that's step 2 at least. :/

       @lanodan I feel like proper data management and principle of least privilege should be employed before you install a proprietary auto-updating rootkit on all of your machines

       identifying single points of failure is (sometimes) easy, convincing someone who can effect change to care is the real trickCC: @drewdevault@fosstodon.org

       @w @drewdevault Which is seriously worrying when it's things like 911 and hospitals which I guess don't have the proper social ways to address those.It's quite like if during a fire drill you'd realize you can't escape the building when the electricity is out (yeah that happens) but then actually nothing gets done about it.

       @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me @drewdevault@fosstodon.org a lot of it comes down to cost. It's hard to convince someone to proactively replace eol'd equipment when it's still working 'perfectly well'

       @w @drewdevault I don't think any of the CrowdStrike incident was due to EOL equipment though? More like the opposite I'd say.

       @lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me @drewdevault@fosstodon.org you're right, I was speaking more generally. It's been a long day 🙂
