    Interesting video. But
    "Patch patch patch!" doesn't resonate too well with what's happened with XZ/LZMA a few days ago

      On the contrary, anyone who installed an affected distro last week and hasn't patched now has a dangerous backdoor. Patching is exactly what they need to do.

      @@ProTechShow I beg to differ. The version affected was the latest. Currently, the only way for someone to "patch" their version is to actually *downgrade* to a previous release known not to be infected. Fortunately, no stable Linux distro had included the package yet, AFAIK.

      @hugues90 that is not the case. Debian (unstable) and Kali were both affected and released patches almost immediately.
      Patching regularly might occasionally mean you get a bad update; but it also means you'll get the fix quickly, too.
      If you don't patch, you won't avoid vulnerabilities - you simply guarantee the ones you have don't get fixed. The older the vulnerability, the more likely it is to be exploited.

      Thanks! This was an early one when I had a handful of subs, and it doesn't seem to be a topic people are searching for so it's not had many views. I'm glad someone enjoyed it though!
