daily reminder linux does fuck all to protect against cpu microcode backdoors
>>
Security in linux in general is a joke. Linus' attitude towards security may have been acceptable and easy to work around a decade ago but is seriously out of touch now. You can't so easily dismiss it as tinfoil type fears anymore. Governments and private businesses rely now more than ever on maintaining secure systems filled with personal data.

I don't use linux because it is superior.
I use it because it is free as in freedom and the people who develop on it contribute to the project, not just taking the system because it is open source.

They are even worse. NSA confirmed backdoors even before the Snowdon leaks.

That was an accusation that was never proven. The alleged backdoor was supposedly planed 15 years ago by ex openbsd developers and it was never found by the current team. Right now, It's all FUD.

I have a hard time imagining the FBI/NSA trying to put backdoors in BSD but not in Linux. I seriously don't see the point, BSD is not nearly as popular as Linux for servers holding sensitive data.
>>
>>52197104
And the fact the entire team independently reviewed it and nobody found anything makes me also skeptical about the backdoor claims.
