My dear Donation Coders! The FARR Most Recently Used plugin is now open source and available on GitHub.

Just like my Multi Monitor plugin, I think this plugin is probably obsolete, i.e. I think FARR has MRU functionality built in now. In any case, I have put it on GitHub as it might be useful for other FARR plugin developers.

That reminds me of Heartbleed. Five years ago, a critical bug in OpenSSL shocked the (tech) world. It became known that a security-critical library that was used in thousands of web servers and hundreds of products was being maintained on a donation-based $2000 a year budget.

Here's just one of the articles about it (well, I know most of you remember ;) ):

I would not be surprised if the next 'Heartbleed' will be found in one of the under-funded open source libraries in Staltz's list.

Are most businesses that depend on such open source libraries aware of the fact that they cannot necessarily rely on these libraries being up to required security standards when the people that need to ensure that security cannot even live from what they are doing?
