As a Package Maintainer for @archlinux, I was involved in the removal of the malware that was distributed through the Arch User Repository (AUR) last month. Here's my blog post on this topic, detailing what happened, some things I learned, and how the malware worked:

Salvador, minha terrinha!

Hoje eu passei minha manhã curtindo com o pessoal na Debian Day Salvador, evento onde falamos sobre software livre e o projeot #Debian que faz hoje (16/08) 32 anos.

Muito importante conhcer todos presencialmente e poder trocar strings 🤪

Um bando de "nerds" (no bom sentido da palavra), entusiastas e profissionais da área

O massa foi ver conversas sobre Hardware Livre, algo bem raro de se ver debater hoje em dia, mas de altissima importância em eras de ataque á soberania nacional.

@benjistokman I just googled "stop debian from suspending" and easily got the solution.

I posted here a couple of days ago I was in the process of migration from #arch to #nixos with help of AIs. Interestingly I received a couple of comments as if I was doing something impure and not appropriate for such a ceremony. I can tell I'm almost finished with the job, I learned a lot, not only random syntaxes but good practices and avoided many pitfalls just because. I am also sure Im able to maintain my system very diligently in many aspects. I'm genuinely happy with the final result.

@norbert Wow. I'm not jealous. I swear 😜

Die Veröffentlichung von Debian 13 dazu genutzt, meinen Firmen-Laptop, den ich Ende 2022 mit Ubuntu 22.04 vorinstalliert erhalten und Ende letzten Jahres auf Ubuntu 24.04 aktualisiert hatte, endlich mal auf Debian umzustellen...

#Debian #Ubuntu

What is happening with #arch #archlinux right now? Both #aur and main archlinux sites down and they have been unstable during the past days (weeks?). People are talking about DDOS attacks but I don't know actually.

How you guys deal with gpg keys in #nixos ? Specifically, when replicating the system in a new machine, is there a pure declarative way to do that?

@joemug You are welcomed.

@tux0r No, thank you.

@jay tell me a single example in which you learned something without replicating someone's result.

I decided to overcome the energy barrier which separates humanity and #nixos and I'm glad I did. It is fantastic.

I'm not a #linux novice at all but I would have give up in the first day in a pre-AI era. Without Gemini I'm not sure if I would have the time and energy to mess with Nix syntax.

@rwdf @rwsf I was curious about since when I started using niri and dig onto this post to find that it has been a year or so. Thanks again for the recommendation :-)

I decided to try #nixos and I'm struggling with the configure.nix file in order to make #niri work. I'm end up with a black screen every time I start niri (gdm, sddm, greetd etc). Anyone could share a working configuration.nix with niri?

Edit:

There are a lot of people in the comments with smart takes about 3-2-1, offline and offsite backups.

That is not the point. It was not technical failure that led to the loss of the data here, it was a shitty process. The party at fault here is AWS for implementing a faulty process, knowingly (there are previous cases), denying that, and rejecting pressure to improve the process.

@YaLTeR Yeah... Same thing chatgpt told me: it is a book with focus in more mature audience 😁
