Yeah it sounds pretty wild already with some kind of, like, door knock mechanism using certificates? So you can’t scan for it. And some reverse engineering countermeasures.
Like everyone else, I have to wonder what libraries have been compromised in a way that nobody has noticed yet.
Very annoying - the apparent author of the backdoor was in communication with me over several weeks trying to get xz 5.6.x added to Fedora 40 & 41 because of it’s “great new features”. We even worked with him to fix the valgrind issue (which it turns out now was caused by the backdoor he had added). We had to race last night to fix the problem after an inadvertent break of the embargo.
He has been part of the xz project for 2 years, adding all sorts of binary test files, and to be honest with this level of sophistication I would be suspicious of even older versions of xz until proven otherwise.
Damn. I would love to see a full post mortem on this compromise.
Idk what you’re into buddy
but I like it.
Inflation.
I think you win.
If you haven’t yet, give Lief Ove Andsnes’ rendition a try.
Everyone has their favorite interpretations, I guess. This is one of mine. From a pianist that impressed the hell out of me when I first heard him.
(The album Horizons if the link doesn’t work or you’re boycotting Spotify or whatever)
God I am getting crazy goosebumps just listening to this again. I love the 9th symphony so much.
Oh wow that is amazing. Thank you!
I forgot how much I love this kind of choral music.
Totally agree. Have been there and done that quite a few times too.
Oof. Would a mirror help? Either clip onto handle bar or clip onto glasses/sunglasses?
I just use a lodge bristle brush. But yeah they’re easy enough to clean.
I only ever cook eggs in my cast iron skillet. If I am patient enough to get it hot enough and cook with butter, and don’t mess around with the egg too much very little sticks and what does is a cinch to clean. The pans are heavy as hell though. I don’t lug except car camping. I haven’t tried stainless yet but it sounds like it would be worth doing.
Yum. Not sure if it is the same stuff or comparable but my lazy-ass guac is basically mashed avocados and Lawry’s Fire Roasted Chili and Garlic Powder and it is quite yummy with chips.
This stuff:
Don’t you see? Falling into depression and learned helplessness is doing something.

You could install systat (or similar) and use output from sar to watch for thresholds and reboot if exceeded.
The upside of doing this is you may also be able to narrow down what is going on, exactly, when this happens, since sar records stats for CPU, memory, disk etc. So you can go back after the fact and you might be able to see if it is just a CPU thing or more than that. (Unless the problem happens instantly rather than gradually increasing).
PS: rather than using cron, you could run a script as a daemon that runs sar at 1 sec intervals.
Another thought is some kind of external watchdog. Curl webpage on server, if delay too long power cycle with smart home outlet? Idk. Just throwing crazy ideas out there.
I have a feeling there are a lot of busy people trying to answer that question, now. Yikes.
