                Ich war nie ein Fan vom AUR, von PPAs oder von Copr. Mit der generellen Warnung habe ich mich immer zurückgehalten. Damit ist jetzt Schluss.

                Seit Juni laufen 3 Angriffswellen über das Arch User Repository. Über 1500 kompromittierte Pakete, eBPF-Rootkit, Rust-Infostealer, ein Tor-gestützter SSH-Wurm. Seit dem 1. August sind alle Pushes gesperrt.

                Mein Fazit: Die Verantwortung liegt bei Arch, nicht bei den Nutzern.

                  Genau: Sinnfreie Statusseiten mit eigenem Design bauen. 😄

                  Da sich unser tolles Werkzeug ja so *hervorragend* designen lässt (Ja! Das war dezente Kritik. Dennoch: Danke für dieses tolle Stück Software! ;) - musste ich für die Optik mit der API ran.

                  Für zwei von drei Welten gibt es nun kleine eigene Statusseiten die zwar schon bestanden und auch weiterhin bleiben, aber eben im eigenem Kuma-Design.
                  Beide greifen auf die API ihres jeweiligen Origins zu:

                  Einzig bleibt vorerst beim Kuma-Standarddesign. AWiT bekommt aber in absehbarer Zeit ein komplettes Redesign, sobald die Vereinsgründung abgeschlossen ist.

                  Nun aber: Weil ich heute durch einen anderen Post auf den Geschmack gekommen bin, heißt es jetzt und in OV schauen. 📺

                    GameHub 0.1.1 is Now Available on Parch Linux! 🎮

                    We are thrilled to announce that GameHub version 0.1 has officially landed in the Parch Linux repository.

                    What GameHub Does
                    GameHub is designed to be your central control room for gaming on Parch Linux. Instead of manually configuring everything in the terminal, this tool simplifies your entire setup process. You can effortlessly install various popular game launchers directly through its interface. It also removes the friction of Linux gaming by allowing you to easily download, set up, and manage different versions of Proton for maximum game compatibility. Additionally, GameHub gives you the ability to create and launch a dedicated Steam session straight from the app, helping you jump right into your games with an optimized environment.

                    We Need Your Feedback
                    Because GameHub is still in its early stages of active development, we are relying on our community to help shape its future. There is still a long road ahead to a stable 1.0 release. If you encounter any bugs, crashes, or simply have ideas for new features to make Linux gaming even better, please reach out to us. You can share your experiences on the Parch forum or open an issue directly on our GitHub page:

                    github.com/parchlinux/gamehub/

                    How to Install
                    To get started with GameHub on Parch Linux, simply open your terminal and run the following commands:

                    sudo pacman -Syu
                    sudo pacman -S gamehub

                          After a grueling 2,000-hour nationwide internet shutdown in Iran, international connectivity has finally returned to the Parch Linux servers.

                          This prolonged outage completely destroyed our SEO. Searching for our project yielded zero results for months, which took a massive toll on our visibility and progress. Now that we are back online, I am trying to figure out how to rebuild the lost trust of our international users and effectively promote the project again. Unfortunately, open-source news outlets have rarely covered us unless we directly request a feature.

                          Despite these hurdles, I am incredibly relieved that the connection is restored and people outside of Iran can finally see our work once more.

                          Hoping for freedom.

                                              Hej wszystkim! Chyba czas na małe #introduction.

                                              Co prawda jestem już z Wami od jakiegoś czasu, jednak po drodze zaliczyłem kilka przeprowadzek - dokładnie trzy, z czego wszystkie pomiędzy własnymi instancjami 🙃 (obecnie Akkoma). Przez ten czas trochę się zmieniło, dlatego pomyślałem, że warto odświeżyć swój wizerunek i przedstawić się ponownie.

                                              Nie będzie chyba zaskoczeniem jeśli napiszę, że lwia część mojej aktywności na fedi ma związek z tematami prywatności i bezpieczeństwa w cyfrowym świecie.

                                              Hobbystycznie bawię się w #selfhosting, czyli staram się hostować samodzielnie co tylko mogę i na ile mi wystarcza na to czasu.

                                              Jestem “adwokatem” #opensource, używam otwartych rozwiązań gdzie tylko mogę. Właściwie to na każdym urządzeniu, które posiadam w domu (szczegóły w profilu). Lubię eksperymentować ze wszystkim, pod co mogę się podpiąć i znam znaczenie słowa backup 😉

                                              Od niedawna prowadzę swojego bloga w tematyce selfhostingu i nie tylko: brtk.eu

                                              Poza tym od nieco dłuższego czasu prowadzę także innego bloga poświęconego ogólnie tematyce wolności i prywatności w sieci: wolnoscwkieszeni.pl

                                              Moim największym wrogiem jest czas, a raczej jego deficyt, ale w miarę możliwości wracam zarówno na fedi jak i na swoje blogi.

                                              W wolnych chwilach jak już uda mi się odkleić od ekranu, wciąga mnie dobra lektura. Poza tym lubię sporty zarówno zimowe jak i letnie, czyli góry i jeziora o każdej porze roku, odpowiednio z buta lub na desce, wpław lub na łyżwach.

                                              Mówiłem już, że moim wrogiem jest czas?

                                                    ChainDrop: When a Supply-Chain Attack Becomes a Worm

                                                    Microsoft has detailed a new npm supply-chain compromise called ChainDrop, highlighting how a single compromised developer account can potentially turn into an automated attack against the broader software ecosystem.

                                                    The campaign compromised 400+ npm packages across unrelated publishers. The malware is a variant of Shai-Hulud and includes a self-propagating credential-stealing worm.

                                                    What makes this especially concerning:

                                                    - Malicious packages execute code during installation
                                                    - Developer credentials, tokens, and cloud secrets can be stolen
                                                    - Compromised npm credentials can be used to publish the malware into additional packages
                                                    - CI/CD environments become attractive targets because they often contain privileged credentials
                                                    - The attack can propagate through the software supply chain with limited manual intervention

                                                    This isn’t simply a compromised dependency. It’s a self-propagating software supply-chain attack.

                                                    For development teams, this reinforces the importance of:

                                                    - Dependency pinning and verification
                                                    - Package provenance and integrity checks
                                                    - Short-lived credentials
                                                    - Least-privilege CI/CD identities
                                                    - Secret rotation
                                                    - Monitoring unexpected package releases and dependency changes

                                                    The uncomfortable takeaway:

                                                    Trusting an npm package today doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be getting the same code tomorrow.

                                                    Supply-chain security needs to be part of the development lifecycle, not something we address after an incident.
