Open-Source Software Is in Crisis
"The point of the open-source licenses we have is this permissionless sharing—that’s the blessing and the curse of open source. Everybody gets to use it, but it puts us precisely in this position of not being able to support that directly through the market.”

■■■■■ 📹 Hackers can wirelessly watch your display by HDMI radiation.
Known side-channel attack called TEMPEST (Transient Electromagnetic Pulse Emanation Standard). It involves capturing electromagnetic signals emitted by electronic devices, including HDMI cables, and reconstructing the displayed content. https://www.pcworld.com/article/2413156/hackers-can-wirelessly-watch-your-screen-via-hdmi-radiation.html
Key points:
Poorly shielded HDMI cables can emit detectable radiation.
With specialized equipment, attackers can intercept these emissions wirelessly.
Shielded cables and secured environments significantly reduce this risk.

“Establish an advisory committee
Ongoing support
The FreeBSD Foundation could help the FreeBSD Project with ongoing security-oriented support, operating as an advisory committee. With its ability to allocate resources outside of the typical product development processes of profit-oriented companies or beyond the inherent limitations of many contributions at the hobbyist level, this committee could build on the outcome presented by this report and push the initiative further. With the general FreeBSD community informed and aware of the importance of the security of the FreeBSD Operating System, the FreeBSD Foundation should be able to keep attracting the means necessary to sustain this effort from its own pool of donors and sponsors.
Guidance and resources
Regardless of its provenance, the advisory committee should provide the FreeBSD Project with an experienced group of developers with a security background. Their role could range from monitoring the state-of-the-art and corresponding security level of the FreeBSD Operating System and project infrastructure to disseminating the knowledge acquired to the FreeBSD developers and general community, including assistance in the auditing or development tasks relevant to the project.”
