The hot security topic, for those that are not total idiots, is the
XZ backdoor.

As it turns out, Gentoo Linux, although it is NOT affected due to its
rejection of standard systemd, was one of the first distros to report
some "funny stuff" happening:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/925415

Whoa ho!  Read down the list of posts and you will find a post by
"Jia Tan," the supposed mastermind of the XZ backdoor.

This is interesting but totally irrelevant.  As indicated, Gentoo,
because it rejects that piece-of-shit systemd as default, is totally
unaffected.

But distro lackeys, who likely use Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, or Fedora,
had better start shitting their pants.  Their distros are targeted
by sophisticated hackers.

Brother, if you aren't using Gentoo Linux, then run, don't walk
to the nearest mental asylum.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
