This is very much on-style both for dream movies in general (ever watched anything Lynch/Tarkovsky/Fellini?) and Kubrick. The connections are supposed to happen in your mind. Their significance is up to you.

Spelling everything out for the (supposedly dim-witted) audience at the close is, reversely, something that frustrates me.
What does "intelligent packaging" mean for you and for the sake of this thread?
Search results give definitions like:
> Also known as smart packaging, intelligent packaging is a rapidly growing industry that combines traditional packaging with advanced technologies to create interactive and functional packaging solutions. This means that instead of using a pencil to complete the maze on a cereal box, users can scan a QR code that takes them into a virtual reality (VR) space to interact with the characters on the box.
Obviously this part is nothing by hype. What are some actually noteworthy developments you have seen under the umbrella?
With intelligent packaging, I mean more critical developments from the consumer perspective, such as functional indicators that tell you if a food item has gone bad in real-time through color indicators or inks that can be scanned to identify counterfeit medicines.
No, this is the exact opposite of what we want. Ability to maintain pseudoanonymity for maintainers and contributors is paramount for personal safety. We mist be able to keep online and meat space personas separate without compromising security of software.
Stay wary of Worldcoin as the supposed fix for this.
As someone who's been in this position a few times and observed it even more: The company will be fine. If you give them some heads up and are helpful in handover you might be shocked to see how smoothly things are carried on by people who appeared helpless just a month prior.
Trust your gut. Don't bens until you break. If you can realign your role within your current company to spend more focus on what brings you a sense of value in your work, great. If not, I guess you have "grown apart" (no shame in that) and you might seriously consider a break. Maybe an extended unpaid leave or "sabbatical" if the employer is open for it.
Read this and tell me if you really think it unlikely that whoever performed the mitm there wouldn't be able to or interested enough in doing similar things to known seedbox hosts, distributors, or just whoever is distributing information they'd rather not be.
Qbittorrent is one of the most be popular choices for hosted bittorrent seeders across the world. This was trivially exploitable for anyone with access to the right network path for >10years. Sure it'd have to be targeted to qbittorrent users but I don't think much individual targeting is needed if you aim for dozens, hundreds, thousands, or just as many as you can of them.
Besides sketchy government-related entities with legal wiretapping capabilities, you also have well-funded private interest groups on the malicious side.
First of all those are linux boxes that not effected by this.
Second, attacker here had a valid certificate, it was only noticed when certificate expired (so 6 months after, since it was LE cert).

If you're targeted by goverment-related entities you probably shouldn't run windows and torrent software.
Are hosted servers typically running Windows? The Linux version doesn't download Python (generally your package manager would do that). I would expect updates to qbittorrent are also handled by the package manager on Linux.
Generally not. Seedbox services are heavily cost-driven; running a Windows install for each client would add a lot of unnecessary hardware and licensing costs.
No WM at all is less nice, but can work. A bit over a decade ago, we shipped a kiosk/appliance that software-wise only had kernel, X, and firefox. All starting directly from /etc/inittab, something like this:
...where /etc/rc-∗ are few lines of shell that set up environment variables, and end with "exec chroot --userspec=... / /bin/firefox ..." - this way X and firefox run under same PIDs that sysvinit knows about, so they get restarted after a crash.
