Real talk: Garak was such a great combination of character & actor that he almost transcended the show & even Star Trek itself. They basically put an ambiguously gay John le Carré antihero into the middle of a space opera.

Joining a union is a good idea anyway. So you should do that. I'm a member of @ProspectUnion. Who are best choice of the well established unions in the UK if you work in tech.

We all join a union who uses the subs to pay maintainers (how we decide what needs maintaining becomes an issue)

Log4j recap - two random unpaid folk maintain the code - a random requested the vuln/feature in 2013 - major IT and security vendors rely on that code - problem was publicised by teens in Minecraft video game - scope of problem still unclear days later

Another chronically underfunded OSS library in the news. It’s simple: - Using OSS to make money? Fund it! - Want to see an OSS project advance? Fund it! - Want to help your dependencies succeed so you can hire people experienced in them? Fund them! NORMALIZE FUNDING OSS.

Why not take 5% of your engineering budget and invest it in the various open source projects you depend on? I'd hazard the returns you'd see over the coming years from this investment would be greater than having spent that same amount on payroll.

since everyone is talking about log4j/supply chains an experiment years ago i calculated 1-bit offset utf8 strings of the top few hundred npm packages and registered packages under them they received thousands of hits per week from machines trying to download and execute them

developer pro tip: the best way to prevent log4j from executing shell commands or querying LDAP is to not allow any user input of any kind

Maintainable open source is not an easily solved problem. And yet most of our tech stacks would shut down if open source code was all of a sudden unavailable.

Laurie (@laurieontech)Sat, 11 Dec 2021 22:44 GMT

As someone who does this quite often, they are not ignoring you. They are overwhelmed. They are forgetful. They are trying to figure out what it means to care for themselves and actually do it. They do not hate you. They, in fact, probably miss you.

The Apache Log4j project is maintained by three people who are volunteering their spare time. Please don't be a jerk to them because multi-billion dollar companies are using their tool without even bothering to throw $1,000 their way.

Post details

Log4j maintainers have been working sleeplessly on mitigation measures; fixes, docs, CVE, replies to inquiries, etc. Yet nothing is stopping people to bash us, for work we aren't paid for, for a feature we all dislike yet needed to keep due to backward compatibility concerns. twitter.com/shipilev/statu…

It took me about 5 minutes to start locally running an open source Ruby project despite the fact that I never touched Ruby on Rails in the past & project itself didn’t have related docs. Now that’s what I call strong external community resources that are easy to find 👏

This is a “vaccination” for the log4j vulnerability Given a vulnerable piece of software, it exploits the log4j vulnerability, just to install a new piece of code that prevents exploiting it in the future Ethical? github.com/Cybereason/Log…

The market rate of a developer who can maintain a large open source project is at least $300k/yr. (Conservatively, check levels.fyi.) The most I've seen someone rack up on GitHub Sponsors and Patreon is like $1,000/month. You see the problem?

This is the maintainer who fixed the vulnerability that's causing millions(++?) of dollars of damage. "I work on Log4j in my spare time" "always dreamed of working on open source full time" "3 sponsors are funding @rgoers's work: Michael, Glenn, Matt" People, what are we doing.

This may seem like overkill, but it's really an investment in your company's stability. #OpenSource may reduce many costs of development, but it's not entirely free. Don't find out that the library that's integral to your infrastructure is un(der)-funded when it's too late.
