    If you use Arch, you aren’t really affected. As far as we know, the backdoor only affects SSH if it is linked against liblzma, which is a requirement for libsystemd. However, Arch doesn’t use that, so SSH has probably been safe. However, you should still update, because we don’t know if the backdoor could’ve been used in other ways.

    Note that if you update, xz 5.6.1-2 will be installed. This is a safe version. However, if you run xz --version, it will still report version 5.6.1.

      “It’s so funny! Sheldon reminds me of you!”

      Yeah, never watched it, but heard this enough to hate the show with a passion.

        It’s a show that normalized hot women dating nerds.

        Nerds hate this for some reason.

            Sorry, I didn’t realize that you were a psychopath that only cares about your own interests.

              So, let me unpack what happened, from my point of view. I’m not complaining or anything, just pointing out how it seemed from my end.

              I made a comment that I personally didn’t like the show because of how many times people around kept saying I was like the main character.

              You replied directly to me implying that nerds should like the show because it normalizes dating them. (Which I agree is a good thing.)

              I replied to say that doesn’t apply to me, and I’m not sure why it was relevant to my comment.

              Finally, you left a comment to call me names.

              Do you see how that entire interaction makes no sense from my side of things? I said that I didn’t like a show, and you inserted yourself into the conversation to complain that hot women should want to date me because of the show. Then, when I said that had nothing to do with what I was saying, you insulted me.

              So, like, why?
