thank you!

What is the source for this list, please?

I need to share it with conservatives and listen to them try to justify it.

Like the castle in its corner
In a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble
And I stay here just the same…

Cry to your mother.

“subtly”?

How would you beat him?

Almost all of these turn into attempts to get the target to buy into some crypto scam or other.

It’s not meant to catch people who are moderately aware, it’s meant to catch the stupid, ignorant, and easy to manipulate. Being an obvious scam is part of the utility - it saves time by naturally filtering out anyone who is too aware to actually give them any money.

The issue is more that trying to upgrade everything at the same time is a recipe for disaster and a troubleshooting nightmare. Once you have a few interdependent services/VMs/containers/environments/hosts running, what you want to do is upgrade them separately, one at a time, then restart that service and anything that connects to it and make sure everything still works, then move on to updating the next thing.

If you do this shotgun approach for the sake of expediency, what happens is something halfway through the stack of upgrades breaks connectivity with something else, and then you have to go digging through the logs trying to figure out which piece needs a rollback.

Even more fun if two things in the same environment have conflicting dependencies, and one of them upgrades and installs its new dependency version and breaks whatever manual fix you did to get them to play nice together before, and good luck remembering what you did to fix it in that one environment six months ago.

It’s not FUD, it’s experience.

This is also a great way to just break everything you’ve set up.

Every nation outside of Russia has been under attack from Russian mercenary groups for over a decade. In the news they’re typically referred to as “ransomware gangs”. This is a euphemism. The reality is that these groups all have ties back to FSB or other parts of the Russian military structure. They operate with the approval of the Russian government, and they attack Russia’s adversaries. They attack civilian infrastructure indiscriminately, disabling power, water, logistics, schools, hospitals… they don’t care what the damage is, they don’t care if people die because of their actions.

NotPetya is the classic example. That was 8 years ago. Since then the frequency and scope of attacks has increased.

Really depends on where and how the data collection is integrated.

Browser forks mostly make changes to the application UI which wraps the engine, not to the engine itself. Browser engines are these fantastically complex things, extremely difficult to keep operational and secure, which is why there aren’t many of them and why they’re all developed by large organizations. Forking the engine is basically doomed to failure for a small project because you won’t be able to keep up, you’ll be out of date in a month and drastically insecure in a year.

This is basically all there is.
