Blog: The nondigital overhead https://thomask.sdf.org/blog/2021/09/05/the-nondigital-overhead.htmlIn Australia at least, I think we are in a position to slow the onset of dystopia by insisting on nondigital methods of necessary surveillance.

A good recap of the security issues around using crates in #Rust https://kerkour.com/rust-crate-backdoor/Seeing it all laid out like this, I'm convinced - I'm going to shift all my Rust dev into VMs. All the other potential hardening measures are kind of piecemeal at best. Even if I was absolutely diligent about the transitive dependencies in _my_ code, some days you just have to clone random things on GitHub for bugfixes, etc.

Of all the ways Australia could be disrupted by supply chain issues, "diesel additive" wasn't on my bingo card. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-08/adblue-shortage-a-serious-threat-to-australias-supply-chain/100683230

A quirk of Australian ISP TPG* is that they have a nationwide DNS block on vk.com. The whole thing. I don't have an account but sometimes I like to look up bands on bandcamp, so I logged a ticket. They claimed they saw it in a lot of phishing links so they decided to proactively block it for everyone. 🤷 I did a search and there are quite a few Russian-Australians deeply confused why they can't use their social media at home. (*also affects Internode business plans)

@nolan Excellent post. I’ve been uncomfortable with a lot of the takes that came out since log4j and this one finally nails the “you can’t just treat open source projects like a wannabe small company” aspect.
