Was describing #Linux to a friend and happened to mention most of the internet is built on it, which naturally also led us on to the XZutil moment we had earlier this year. And which he, a well-informed person, had never heard of and was shocked to hear. I guess most people here know about #XZutils attack but I discovered @zetlandmag@bird.makeup have a very nice summary (in Danish, DeepL works well) which I'm sharing again here for those who don't.
