  • Yes, this particular incident.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor

    In February 2024, a malicious backdoor was introduced to the Linux build of the xz utility within the liblzma library in versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 by an account using the name “Jia Tan”.[b][4] The backdoor gives an attacker who possesses a specific Ed448 private key remote code execution through OpenSSH on the affected Linux system. The issue has been given the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures number CVE-2024-3094 and has been assigned a CVSS score of 10.0, the highest possible score.[5]

    Microsoft employee and PostgreSQL developer Andres Freund reported the backdoor after investigating a performance regression in Debian Sid.[8] Freund noticed that SSH connections were generating an unexpectedly high amount of CPU usage as well as causing errors in Valgrind,[9] a memory debugging tool.[10]






















  • when putting in long text like image links, it gets ugly fast and stuff starts to break.

    In that case, I think that tool should prove very helpful. Starting off in a spreadsheet program like Excel is great for keeping things neat/tidy/readable, then you would use that tool to convert to markdown when you are finished and ready to post the table to Lemmy.

    That is sort of how I manage my GIF todo list and the markdown list that I publish on Codeberg. I have a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet that I use as my todo list, adding new ideas to it as they come to my attention and then marking them off as I complete them. Then, when I am done for the day, I have a custom Python script that I run that reads all the cells in the spreadsheet, rearranges things a bit, and outputs it as a markdown table into the file you see on Codeberg.

    EDIT: @ptz@dubvee.org could possibly even build that functionality right into Tesseract, allowing you to copy from Excel and paste directly into a Tesseract textbox as a markdown table.
