> The module is unmaintained. Who do you suggest should do it? Will you?

Yes. I am contacting the security team and working on a patch already. The page mentions someone is currently working on the issue already however.

I don't completely agree. If it's unmaintained, new installations shouldn't use it, totally agree. That doesn't help the 120K installations which are using the plugin though. It may take more time to impedance match apis, rather then fixing the security issue.

Curious, what areas do you find are usually flat out wrong?

The math sections seem to be pretty good. A friend found a flaw in a crypto algorithm though.

I remember asking for a smaller monitor and getting some weird looks. To much screen space and I'm always turning my head left and right, was hurting my neck. I prefer virtual desktops and a tiling window manager.

They're pirates, and probably will kill you either way. Best to jump ship and hit em with some ads.

That's really inspiring that you started your own business! I would love to hear more about what you do.

I'm dealing with some personal stuff and feel like I'm in the same boat, having to start my own business to have the flexible hours that I need. Any advice you can pass along would be appreciated.
