Are there any snake experts here? I saw this in a tree while biking. Is there anyone that knows what species this is?

ImHex: A Hex Editor for Reverse Engineers, Programmers and people who value their retinas when working at 3 AM

Is it just me being old-fashioned? Or is this a common opinion these days?

So I was listening to an episode of Open Source Security Podcast. This is not a bad podcast, but sometimes I'm wondering what they are thinking.

So despite the name of the show, they went on and on about how terrible Linux is, and how Windows has caught up, etc, etc.

In another episode they were talking about how security issues are solved by rewriting things in Rust (I'm pretty sure the hosts are not programmers).

I'm confused. These people are supposed to be professionals but I hear far too much regurgitated nonsense.
