            Security vulnerabilities are usually tagged as CVE and then some number. So the other dude is basically saying enjoy the security vulnerabilities.

              Oh I thought there was some other CVE acronym I was unaware of. I don’t think periodically git cloning a repo every few days would be something to worry about. Ever since the Yuzu take down I got in the habit of mirroring a bunch of repos that I’d be very sad to lose, just as a precaution, it probably won’t matter, but it’s a tiny peace of mind knowing I could at the very least compile it myself if it was lost.

            I, quite bluntly, see no good reason to advise an internet stranger on their security practices when they can learn for themselves.

            Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. But I’ve no time to teach strangers the beginnings of fishing, let alone what they need know in order to fish safely.

              You’re not even giving him a fish let alone teaching him how to fish. Just bitching and moaning about kids these days not knowing how to fish

                Yes. I am refusing to give a fish, and stating bluntly I have no time or energy to teach them to fish. I acknowledge they need to know how to fish, and was making light of it, now I am adamantly proclaiming that they need to know how and where to fish before they meet an orca.
