Re:Obscurity Is a Valid Security Layer

This example is good, but my problem with obscurity, especially in legacy products is this: complacence.
A product's perceived security /= a product's actual security. Obfuscation can lead to complacence, whereas transparency leads to paranoia, which is no bad thing in this domain. By adding an obfuscation layer, we give bad code a place to hide.
Re:TKLX – A super slim container image based on Debian GNU/Linux

Aww. Unmaintained. I desperately want a slim debian-based image I can use in place of alpine (Nothing against Alpine, I'm just a deb-head at heart.)
Re:Ask HN: What do you want to see in Ubuntu 17.10?

FLAVOUR: (I'm British) Ubuntu Desktop
HEADLINE: Less glossiness on Unity launcher
DESCRIPTION: I use a flat theme and icons (Paper and Arc) to make my desktop less obtrusive when I'm writing/coding. Unity has loads of glossy effects on the launcher, which is distracting. I'd prefer something modern, flat and out-of-the-way.
ROLE/AFFILLIATION: Sr. Software Engineer, B2C Food company.
