For a second I thought this was about DJB’s init system, which would also be surprising to find out people still used.

Many are saying a 2 week cooldown will be enough to detect most supply chain attacks, but clearly not this one.

Is daemon tools still being used? What is the use case today? Windows already can mount .iso files

Daemon tools can mount and convert a bunch of other image formats besides just .iso

Popular when? What can't mount .iso files out of the box these days?
