@notjustbikes precisely!
Only #OpenSource & #OpenStandards can yield #MultiVendor & #MultiProvider systems necessary to prevent #monopolies and #oligopolies and enshure #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec, thus being able to comply with #NatSec & #IntlSec demands.
Guess why #NORAD runs #BusyBox / #Linux?
- Because they demand every single line of code to be audited MANUALLY!
“along the Canada-US border into the Arctic” is a rather confusing statement geographically... so I’m not entirely sure where this is going to be. But it sounds like this is a re-announcement.
“Carney announced Canada will be working alongside Australia to build an early warning radar system along the Canada-U.S. border into the Arctic. Canada is investing more than $6 billion into the project, money that was already outlined in the modernization plan for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) announced in 2022.”

@cas TBH, this actually makes sense in some #CriticalInfrastructure when someone wants to finally replace some #MOS6502-based system and chug a low-end SBC in...
And given it targets #BusyBox, I'd not be surprised if #NORAD is already looking at the code to see if they can use it...

What happens to #NORAD designed to combat a common Russian enemy when Russia is no longer an enemy, but an ally, of one of the partners ?
I suppose the same question applies to NATO ?

@notsoloud same with all other #Linux distros.
- Guess why #NORAD used #BusyBox and why I started my own minimalist, #GNUfree #toybox + #musl / #Linux distro: @OS1337 ...

What might a second Trump regime mean for the future of NATO and NORAD? And for Canada's national security? On Thursday, Bill Blair, Canada's Minister of National Defence was in the Senate for Question Period. And I decided to address the rather large elephant in the room.
