I haven't watched "The Big Short" in a long time... but aren't BBB- rated things "dogshit wrapped in catshit"?

And now SSD and hard drive prices. Keep your tech going, it's going to be a long few years, if ever, before affordability returns. They (cloud and AI tech-holes) want local compute and storage to be unaffordable so we use their crap. F-ck that, I'm gonna scavenge whatever I can to keep self-hosting to the bitter end.

Sure, but lots of people thought it was crazy conspiracy thinking that the NSA backdoored certain ~~Elliptic Curves~~ CSPRNGs years ago.. yet it turned out they in fact did, and successfully, and it took years to come out. Whether or not some 'threat model' applies to the situation.

The chances of a normal person being targeted by some obscure NSA backdoor is very low, certainly; but that doesn't refute the historical fact that they do try to subvert standards processes.

Indeed, beat me to it. Now is the time to make it hurt for these stupid C-levels execs. Oh, and UNIONIZE ASAP.
