Deployed wiring is indeed best. I will say wireless devices are often deployed while their wired counterparts sit there on the to-do list.

Then why does my local Home Depot parking lot have (presumably) a bunch of low-skilled immigrant workers?

The statement was "massive, uncontrolled immigration of low-skilled workers".

The US does not have uncontrolled immigration, and hasn't had uncontrolled immigration for a very long time.

Yes, there are people in the US who are not legally allowed to be present, for example by visa overstay or illegal border crossings.

That does not mean there's uncontrolled immigration any more than the high number of pedestrian deaths by car collisions means the US has uncontrolled car traffic.

Which is more massive, the number of people like Milo Yiannopoulos who overstay their visa, or the number of people who illegally cross the border? These two populations are different, since it's hard to illegally cross the border in a commercial airliner.

The numbers I see tell me they are comparable, but I'm willing to bet you notice one far more than the other. For one, the people with money who can fly to the US tend to have enough money that they aren't looking for low-wage jobs at Home Depot.

Lastly, how many of the job seekers are actually are immigrants, and how many of them are actually legal immigrants? You can't determine someone's immigration status just by looking at them.

Mega patches like this, in my opinion, should be treated as mandatory patches. If I were trying to get a significant security update into the field in the age of LLM drama, this is how I would do it.

Most databases run offline and don't allow arbitrary SQL statements. SQL injections are generally eliminated by using the extended protocol.

So, yes, if you're running multi-tenant Postgres as a public service, you should upgrade. Everyone else is in no rush.

No rush, but don't wait too long either.

Yes, the application above it should prevent SQL injection, but if it's imperfect, you don't want an attacker to turn SQL injection into RCE.

Debian Trixie just included quite a lot, when asking only for specific updates. I think your wish has been granted

then, what would you do if you were an adversary trying to push your xz-style vulnerability to every place known to man?

So you're in favor of applying security patches? Controversial opinion.

My appraisal as well. There's a reason French Foreign Legion soldiers get a fake name and DOB.

Downvoters are too young to remember Greenpeace vs. the French security apparatus.

I came into some fair amount of power, and the CCP honey pot shenanigans got crazy. I didn't get in-person treatment, but the DMs were off the hook. A Cantonese businessman warned me, but I have to admit it could have worked if I had been in the wrong frame of mind.

They tried every persona: Sexy, shy, homely. Same sex. Confrontational. Open, but scared her overseers would punish her. Still get a ping now and then.

>A Cantonese businessman warned me, but I have to admit it could have worked if I had been in the wrong frame of mind.

Im curious more about that. He was just some regular businessman acquaintance with no special knowledge? Was he fairly accurate and specific in his predictions?

He's been an "uncle" to me, my business, and my political aspirations. I know enough Chinese etiquette to amuse the elders. He didn't accurately describe what would happen, only because the methods had changed. He expected phone calls, and I got messages for example

please do tell us more about these encounters

My first (well, metaphorically speaking) thought after reading the news was: how many attempts did it take? How many seductors and seductresses are out there? I can only assume the other major powers are playing similar games, given the history.

I do know it's year 1 of n of me being crazy productive. I was already a good developer. Turns out I'm a damn good business analyst/bot farmer/and developer.
