Honestly it annoys me how much the well has been poisoned with rust that we’re even talking about the language here. There is so much focus on rust that we’re not even talking about how they literally couldn’t tell the difference between their software crashing in production and a ddos attack.

They had no visibility into their runtime environment, and from my understanding of the Blogpost, didn’t even look into the possibility until the entire cluster went down from this bad config.

Like, even assuming they did input validation, what should the clickhouse services do when they’re fed an invalid config? I’d argue the only sensible thing would be to refuse to start. But it seems like crashing wasn’t being detected at all.

This is my once a month request that my favorite Muppet not be used as a derogatory term for musk. I love Elmo. It makes me sad to have people use his name as an insult.

That might be true, but claiming that people only moved because they were propagandized into doing so by a for-profit company is absurd.

This is incredibly reductive and at best looking at mumble through Rose tinted glasses.

Mumble has had a rocky past as a useful piece of software and it’s absolutely not been a discord competitor any more than TeamSpeak is a discord competitor.

Maybe it’s changed recently, but mumble has not had the feature set that made discord useful in the first place.
