    FFS… I’m not surprised but I’m still disappointed. Silver lining: the people (knowingly) using these tools are probably some of the easier Linux converts.

      The type of person running WireGuard on Windows probably either can’t, or won’t use Linux.

      What’s your time limit on sharing articles? 24 hours? One week? I hadn’t seen this, so I’m glad it got posted, or even reposted.

        I find the expectation of a 24 hour news cycle terrible. The issue is seemingly not resolved, still relevant and still actionable. And even if something is resolved, sometimes it’s still relevant, even just as a retrospective.

        The whole “nothing should be older than a day” mentality feels like the news-cycle equivalent to watching subway surfer with jiggling keys while playing cookie clicker in order to listen to a podcast.

    The issue has been resolved, at least in VeraCrypt's case:
