    I am no expert on code-auditing. But I’m slightly at peace that there are 100s of experts looking at the code because it’s open-source. But i also understand mistakes can still happen. It’s not a perfect system, but it’s the best solution so far.

      There’s some truth to that, but bad actors have managed to slip things through in the past. It happened recently with xz.

      I guess my point is that we put a lot of trust in strangers when we run any code on our systems. Open or not.
