Be aware of the upcoming 2nd anniversary on 27.03.:

"Andres Freund saved the World" 🎉

On that day, the persistent German discovered the back door in xz:

Tää oli kyllä uskomaton tarina miten pienestä joskus voi asiat olla kiinni.

Muistakaa tukea ihmisiä jotka tekevät omalla vapaa-ajallaan ja omaksi ja muiden iloksi asioita. Usein pyyteettömästi. ❤️

An excellent video giving strong arguments why every single country should have a @sovtechfund like organization. Or better, an EU agency, in our case.

The main thing I was wondering while watching this: Is the open source community just a bunch of Finns?

We, like everyone else, couldn't look away from the Veritasium video on the XZ vulnerability.

While there is a lot to address, an important point of this story sticks out to us at OSTIF- that it was best practices, the secondary review of code before a push, that caught this before disaster struck.

Watch the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoag03mSuXQ to learn more details about this incredible story of open source security and community.

Veritasium covers the #xz compromise. This is well done. It starts off explaining open source. It explains encryption and compression. It explains software dependencies. It explains how the back door would have worked. Good watch.

Veritasium made a really good video about the XZ backdoor, with a quick but comprehensive rundown on how it (and therefore partially Linux and libraries as a whole) worked.

@Datenproletarier hier eine deutsche Doku darüber (ja der Kanal ist mMn Boulevard):

«Eine Gruppe Hacker hätte sich beinahe Zugang zu Millionen von Servern auf der ganzen Welt verschafft. Doch ein deutscher Software-Entwickler hat ihnen einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht.»
