The question is simple. I wanted to get a general consensus on if people actually audit the code that they use from FOSS or open source software or apps.
Do you blindly trust the FOSS community? I am trying to get a rough idea here. Sometimes audit the code? Only on mission critical apps? Not at all?
Let’s hear it!
I don’t. I just hope for the best and try to install as few things as possible.
I’m focussing on disaster recovery now, more than prevention. Prevention seems like it’s almost impossible in this age.
EDIT: I mistakenly answered based on security, not privacy.
