• Best tools to show the difference in files between two cloned drives?

  I can highly recommend BeyondCompare from https://scootersoftware.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• How to verify that the files are copied without problems?

  Checksums are better long term. However a nice GUI program: Beyond Compare from Scooter Software is a native Windows app that will compare entire subdirectories or even entire disks and will show a GUI of changes / mods / missing / extra files. It costs money but it's worth it -- both Windows AND Linux versions. Free 30 day trial. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Thank goodness for backups

  Ugh, ok, I feel pretty stupid but, I was messing around with Beyond Compare (a nice piece of software that I highly recommend, btw) comparing my internal drive with an incomplete backup thereof, trying to delete duplicates.

• Why has software supply chain security exploded?

  There are a few companies in this space that are trying to do the "Security Seal of Approval" thing to various degrees. Tidelift is one company that has a bunch of "catalogs"[0] of packages. I'm not sure how their package metadata is generated though -- maybe semi-manually? There is also Bytesafe[1] which is supposed to help give you a way to "firewall" yourself from unapproved dependencies. I don't think they... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Another way to do the same service as bytesafe? Stop npm install on insecure packages

  I was trying bytesafe.dev recently and it was good for me, as it would stop the npm install of any package that had a security issue.

• Time for secure dependencies? Private Maven repository for Java, Kotlin, Scala

  When using private repositories from Bytesafe, public dependencies will be proxied, pulling any required (and allowed) version into your private Maven repository.
