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.

then after applying updates it takes ages "optimizing apps" see this screenshot, only 8 optimized apps out of 35 and it has taken 19 minutes already and in the meantime the phone is very slow and overheated :(

🛠️ Tool: Atuin - Shell History Synchronization and Search
===================

Atuin is an open-source tool designed to manage, sync, search, and back up shell history with end-to-end encryption.

Key Features:
• End-to-end encryption for shell history
• Client-side encryption before sync
• Built in Rust for performance
• Supports bash, zsh, and fish shells
• Atuin AI assistant for terminal queries
• Self-hosting capabilities for sync servers

Technical Implementation:
Atuin is written in Rust to ensure it does not slow down the shell environment while providing faster history search capabilities. Data is encrypted client-side before synchronization, ensuring commands remain private and accessible only by the user.

Use Cases:
• Maintaining consistent shell history across multiple machines
• Securely backing up command-line workflows
• Querying an AI assistant without leaving the terminal prompt
• Organizations needing self-hosted infrastructure for command history

Installation:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://setup.atuin.sh | sh

Limitations:
Atuin AI is currently free while in testing. The source does not specify performance impacts of the AI feature itself, though the core tool is designed to be unobtrusive.
