Moving repos is easy, but expect some sweat while moving actions and integrations. Also do backups.

From security perspective, do you think the wording changes a lot here?

I understand your point, but I would not imply that a backdoor has to be remote. Backdoors are essentially any alternative, often undocumented ways to access or gain privileges on systems. They don't always result from malicious intent either - many backdoors simply "happen" when developers haven't fully considered security implications. For the average user whose device contains such unintentional backdoors, the impact remains the same regardless of how they came to exist. Consider the times when vendors had default BIOS passwords - these created a nightmare for Uni IT staff (and others as well), even though they were not accessible remotely.

Pluralistic: China hacked Verizon, AT&T and Lumen using the FBI’s backdoor (07 Oct 2024) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow ( pluralistic.net )

The CALEA system, designed in the U.S. for mass surveillance, has become a global threat. Telecom equipment with "back doors" isn't just an American issue—it's a worldwide risk. Trusting the "good guys" is naive; any end with "back doors" can be a target. Encryption is our defense, and we must be careful about what we buy. ...

They cut all such scenes and pasted into The Boys, in a Mark Twain style “Sprinkle these around as you see fit!”.

Nonfiction readers. Do you feel guilty reading fiction?

Do you feel guilty when you read fiction some times? Do you feel like it's a frivolous pursuit? Sometimes, I do, because I'd think to myself "might as well watch a TV show", and I hardly ever watch TV shows because, to me, they're a waste of time. But damn it, some of these novels are so good and I can't stop once I started ...

Not anymore, nowadays, I feel guilty reading non-fiction and understand Lindy effect on books much better (be it fiction or non-fiction).
