    I know that there's another comment stating something like "BuT i ThOuGhT lInUx Is SaFeR??".
    It is open source, so that's why someone could figure out the problem with the code, and be able to figure out that it was a multi year long con to get backdoor access. Open Source is doing what it is intended; letting everyone see the code to understand what it is doing.
    My main concern is with the attack itself. You know the XKCD joke that alot of main utils is supported by one guy in his basement in Nebraska? Like it is literally this, except it is much sadder. If anything, that is the main issue; we need to support developers who literally make what Linux is today, because otherwise, some nefarious state actor could take advantage of that again.

      Linux is safer because of its support and emphasis on privacy over profits.
      It doesn't mean it is perfect or immune to exploitation, especially in cases of malicious sabotage.

      (To say nothing of the bugs they "fix" at the *exact* point of failure, only to have the same or very similar problem pop up further down the pipeline. The point being the people working on Windows barely give a shit.)

      You are assuming that only a few systems have been compromised by state actors. That's not the correct perspective to take. The correct perspective is that you should assume that every single system and software product has already been compromised and that the xz utility breach was just one exploit that was caught. There are thousands of similar breaches already out in the wild and every computer system is compromised on some fundamental level. Security is a myth when facing reality.

      @unnamed82979 Před 25 dny +44

      I looked it up online such orbs may be called stars. The closest appears to be the 'sun'. That's at least what it says on Wikipedia. Another theory is that it's an orb that is red hot. Many things glow bright when you heat them up enough. Because of how hot those are they may also burn your skin. And one last theory: it might be a lightbulb of a lantern or similar. Their purpose is apparently so you can see without the glow of your screen. But it's way to bright in my opinion. Could you provide more information so we can narrow it down.
      Maybe you can disable the orb somewhere once the exact issue is identified.
      An easy fix was not in the wiki that's why I assume this may be a bug.

The closest thing to it I found was called "night mode" but it seems to be a temporary mitigation as it just replaces the bright orb with a less bright one for a period of time.

      One of the maintainers slid in a backdoor, that only they could access because only they had the key.
      Only some versions of the xz package were affected.
      Got caught because once it sent out the ssh(backdoor) request to possibly some remote vps (server) . Now this took too long to respond or something and increased cpu time.
