I tried to post a message on that certain bug to this list yesterday, and it has never shown up. I had two sources that suggested that said bug is far more severe than most people think. So this message is a test.

Heartbleed!  Heartbleed!  Heartbleed!

Nope, no Great Old Ones have risen from the depths and begun to expose humanity to unimaginable horrors. Maybe if I try again with the word "Hastur"... [*]

Heartbleed was bad, yes. However, it's hard for me to believe it's "far more severe than most people think." Being able to read 64k chunks out of server memory at-will and on-demand by exploiting commonly-used software is already a Chernobyl-level disaster. Really, how's it going to get worse?

If it starts replacing my Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban with Black Velvet, okay, then it'll be time to scream, wail and grieve. But until then, let's keep our heads, let's face the future with a smile, let's not panic, and let's not think the GnuPG list is censoring anything that contains the word 'Heartbleed'.

Now, if you'll forgive me, there's a Great Old One I've been trying to awaken.

Hastur!  Hastur!  Hast--*urgkl* *thud*





[*] if this makes no sense to you, go read some H.P. Lovecraft's _The Whisperer in Darkness_. :)
