Got me reminiscent of a client that we needed data off. As part of some archaic business process by them they had to encrypt the data they sent to us.
So we wait a good 24 hours wondering where it is. So were just playing nethack to pass the time. Someones already made their base in Minetown.
Finally we get an email. With two attachments and 1 line in the email.
Attach #1: data.zip.enc
Attach #2: data.key
Line: keypasswordincleartext

Okay, I know what some will say you: some may not like GLib or D-Bus, or maybe can't use them because $REASONS, and/or maybe you want something smaller with less dependencies…
Did you know that OpenWRT has a small message bus which has been seriously battle tested? Enter ubus: https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/ubus
Uncommon opinion: I don't even care about speculative execution exploits anymore.

Mozilla just laid off 70 fantastic people. If you can help them - open positions, offering helpful conversations and references, anything else - please say so.
Use #MozillaLifeboat as an umbrella tag for easy finding. (It's already flowing on the birdsite.)
If you've been affected, I'm happy to chat directly. Also have some open positions (see rest of this thread). But doesn't have to be today - take time to recover if you can.
Most of all: thank you folks for making the web better.
