I suspect interest in this withered greatly after Apple abandoned Xserve

This should be interesting.

In the not too distant future we will have huge numbers of global population turned redundant by technology, what will they do?

The GMO debate really has nothing to do with modifying the crops genes, the great GMO question is whether the pesticides and herbicides those crops are then fumigated with are safe to eat.

Fortunately, people smarter than us are working on exactly that. There is a lot of ongoing research on these topics.

Good resource

The linked KnockKnock script is interesting:

"KnockKnock is command line python script that displays persistent OS X binaries that are set to execute automatically at each boot. Since KnockKnock takes an unbiased approach it can generically detect persist OS X malware, both today, and in the future. It should be noted though, this approach will also list legitimate binaries. However, as KnockKnock by default, will filter out unmodified Apple-signed binaries, the output is greatly reduced, leaving a handful of binaries that quickly can be examined and manually verified."

This seems like it would be difficult to work on

The official response (so far) is "We’ve examined our servers and are updating them to protect against the vulnerability. Customer data appears unaffected."

Is this adequately reassuring to other Mint users?
