Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I wouldn't be so sure it doesn't affect NixOS^[1].

    I am not a security researcher, nor a reverse engineer. There's lots of stuff I have not analyzed and most of what I observed is purely from observation rather than exhaustively analyzing the backdoor code.

    Also, it may take 10 days to downgrade the package^[2].

    Yea, but the move to verify the path seemed somewhat funny at the time. As for the second part - it's a shame, but expected: they need to re-compile like everything. So, I just decided to wait since all my machines are ssh-ible from VPN only

    Lol we can be smug until someone sneaks a backdoor into nixpkgs for a while. For user envs updating the system doesnt mean the compromise is gone, although checking would be super easy.
