I disagree, Carlos. Many on this list run openSUSE on Supermicro servers. If this is really a threat, the larger audience should know about it and possibly even discuss detection/mitigations.
I disagree firmly here, Lew. Even though some ( I don't think many FWIW ) use these servers, this has nothing to do with openSUSE support, hence should go to the off-topic list.
Thank you Ken!
I agree with Lew.
I consider this routine micromanaging of what is or is not topical on mailing lists and forums one of the disadvantages of trying to be a good citizen/net contributor to openSUSE, and considerably more annoying than posts that are *clearly* OT. It gives me a throw all the bums out attitude at election time.
I wonder if there were both fully moderated and completely unmoderated opensuse lists how many would choose moderated? Can't we just trust most people to follow the posting guidelines, and spend one second to use the delete button or key on each that doesn't?
Please, please, don't enter into paranoia mode ;-) IMO, the proper place to talk about this is in the OT list. OK, it has been announced here, we all had a chance to see it, now let's go to OT and continue if we wish. :-)) The OP seems fake news to me, anyway. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
