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:

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.
