Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months - Lemmy.one

I had no idea this issue had been identified. While I find this tool very useful, the project is seeming rather questionable to me now.

After I saw that issue, I attempted to build Ventoy from source. After making numerous modifications and getting only the first couple components built, I got tired of it and quit. I’ve made some modifications to glim and use that instead, although it’s still not as easy as Ventoy. But I don’t trust Ventoy if I can’t build it myself.

Further, when @[email protected] made some criticisms of Ventoy in one of her YouTube videos, she was subjected to a harassment campaign, and others told her the same happened to them. That pushed me from not trusting Ventoy to actively distrusting it.

it’s the opposite, actually,: she got harassed because she didn’t talk about it when talking about creating a bootable drive.
