It's too late already. We live in a post-trust society now.

Can I see the profiler data that shows AddRef/Release being a performance bottleneck?

I don't believe it.

Reference counting is a virtual function call + an integer operation. It doesn't happen that often either because objects in UI frameworks are very long lived. C++'s shared_ptr, Rust's Rc, and Swift, don't typically cause performance problems either.

AWS Bedrock has DeepSeek models running on their infrastructure. That should be enough to prevent training on user data (there's a markup compared to DeepSeek's pricing though).

And unfortunately AWS doesn't have prepaid billing, so you can't just give the internet access to your API key without getting FinDDoS'd.

I just tried it on Ubuntu 24.04. Blacklisting algif_aead does not prevent the module from getting loaded by `nobody` using the unprivileged AF_ALG API.

So this project literally does nothing except spew some vibe coded slop across your cluster. Please just upgrade your kernel packages, it's way safer.

Blacklisting a kernel module only prevents modprobe from loading it automatically. modprobe by name still works, even if the module is blacklisted, and so does insmod and the syscalls they use.

The author is way above their head and thinks that because they can write Copilot prompts they can write security critical software.

I don't know a good solution for this. 99% of websites asking for this hypothetical permission would not deserve it. Users (rightfully) don't expect that uploading a photo leaks their location.

Element (the matrix client) used to not strip geolocation metadata for the longest time. I don't know if they fixed that yet.

XMLDSig is notoriously difficult to implement correctly and securely, I hope this doesn't backfire.
