Do users ever share links to outside Mac articles?

[SpeQ]

I saw this security article that I thought would be of interest to others here, but I’ve never noticed anything like that here. It’s not Front Page worthy, it’s only applicable to older, unpatched OS.

The article: https://www.paulosyibelo.com/2021/04/this-man-thought-opening-txt-file-is.html

Seen on: (Hacker News) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26677112

But my question is really about small Mac news links not worthy of the Front Page, not so much about this particular article.

Sure... that is not a problem at all to share an article you found that is interesting.

As long as it is not your article that is just being posted to promote your web site.

We also have a "reposting" rule that is relevant.

Reposting. Please don't repost entire articles from other sites. To initiate a discussion about an article, post a link to the article, quote a bit of it if you like, and include your own comments or questions so people know why you think it's worthy of discussion.

Good to know it's allowed.

I guess the site is not really built for that sort of thing though, after thinking about it. Like in this case, I'm not really sure which forum it would fit in, besides "MacOS; Older OSX Versions". Maybe "Mac Basics"? I guess anything goes in Community Discussion.

I think it would fit well in the main MacOS forum.
