TBH Cybersecurity has been a special interest for a while, despite my being mentally preoccupied. I'm wondering why it hasn't fallen off and gotten left behind by my brain.
Some of these online courses are saying to learn python. (Been learning python.) Python and I are on speaking terms.
Microsoft Powershell and I are not. At this rate I don't think we ever will be. Its more than complicated.

You're going to do what to the feature Microsoft defines what it means by 'deprecation'
Self-deprecation much less fun if you're not joking... or if nobody knows what the heck you mean Microsoft has explained what it means by "deprecation" it doesn't mean "the end", it means "save the date."

The Register: Ransomware attack at New York blood services provider donors turned away during shortage crisis
A few days ago, a client of mine asked me to install an open-source software (which I wont name for now). The software has only one official installation method: Docker. This is because, as they themselves admit, it has a huge number of dependencies - some quite outdated - that need to be carefully managed and forced into place otherwise, nothing works.
I tried replicating the same setup on FreeBSD but didnt succeed, as some dependencies either arent compatible or simply refuse to run. I could try finding workarounds, but I can already picture the chaos every time an update is needed.
So, I decided to build it via Docker to get a better sense of what were dealing with. The sheer number of dependencies that Node pulls in is impressive, but even more staggering is the number of warnings and errors it spits out: deprecated and unsupported packages, security vulnerabilities, generic warnings- you name it, and theres plenty of it.
Since my client needs to launch this service but is subject to audits, they want to be fully compliant and ensure security. Given their substantial budget, they offered financial support to the developers (a company, not just a group of hobbyists) to help improve the project either by making it FreeBSD - compatible or, at the very least, by reducing dependencies with critical vulnerabilities. The client was willing to pay a significant sum, and since the improvements would be open-source, everyone would benefit.
The response from the team A flat-out refusal. They claimed they couldnt accept any amount of money because many of these dependencies are "necessary and irreplaceable, as parts of the code relying on them were written by people who no longer work on the project, and we cant rewrite the core of the software. Then came the part that really got under my skin: they stated they would rather deal directly with my client, not with me, because in the end, my concerns are just useless and irrational paranoia.
Translation Just pay, and youll pass compliance checks - never mind the fact that underneath, its a tangled mess of outdated and insecure components. And dont make a fuss about it.
While I can understand some of the challenges the team faces, I might have accepted this response if it had come from a group of volunteers or hobbyists. But if youre a company whose sole business revolves around a single software product (with no real competition at the moment), this approach is not just short-sighted - its outright dangerous for your users security and for your own survival as a business.
The result They lost a paying client who was ready to invest a significant budget into their software. That budget will now go elsewhere. My client is considering hiring developers to build a similar project with better security (they have both the time and the money for it). Ill do my best to convince them to release it as open-source - at which point, a new competitor will emerge in the market.
