I worked in hospital payments, they used gcc 4.4 in 2023 (but renamed 4.8 for some reason), no TLS, code is 30+ years old. Only impacts a bunch of millions of people.
But having access to the server? No no IT cannot let you have that :-D
Fascinating and a bit of scary.


As a neophyte to all those distros out there but still curious, any specific reason?
