Is AUR more risky than before? Nope. But this targets more people than ever. StreamOS and CachyOS are pretty popular these days.
in reply to Samsy

This is the most likely reason why all of sudden there is an uptick in attempt to embed malware in AUR build scripts.
in reply to Fizz

Yeah, was using vanilla arch before my desktop stopped working. My deck with a dock works, but discover was inadequate.
in reply to TheRedSpade

Yeah but thats not really steamOS using the aur.

SteamOS using the aur would be unlocking the root folder, doing a pacman update and then using the AUR which I assume very very few users do.

I only mention this because everytime arch is mentioned steamOS gets dragged up as if its the same thing when they're worlds apart.

Using the AUR via distrobox can be done on every distro.

in reply to TheRedSpade

Yes but thats not relevant. Its like me saying windows users dont use the AUR and then you saying um actually im on windows and I run arch in a VM and use the AUR. Like ok thats still the AUR being used on arch.

Like the topic is AUR malware and someone was like arch users and steamOS users. But steamOS users dont need to be worried or lumped in because they aren't using the aur unless they're also using arch through vm or distrobox or whatever.

Am I making sense?

in reply to Karna

This not yet scary, scary starts when malicious actors take over orphaned AUR packages..

Lukashenko:
"Ukraine must be begging Putin for peace at full speed. The Russians will slowly gnaw off all of Ukraine’s territory, seize it, and keep going further"

Putin:
"*indignantly* Take back, not seize"

Hoogleraar Marc Schuilenburg: "De openbare ruimte verandert in gecontroleerd surveillancelandschap. Mensen een deurbelcamera om zichzelf gerust te stellen. "De paradox is: het leidt niet tot meer rust, maar juist tot constante alertheid. Mensen met zo’n bel staan permanent “aan” omdat ze elk signaal van de deurbel volgen. Het creëert onzekerheid in plaats van zekerheid."

Le ministère de la Transition écologique a publié le 31 juillet une carte (l’affichage des détails peut prendre plusieurs secondes) qui recense la présence de polluants éternels dans les cours d’eaux et les robinets du territoire français.

Ce sont près de 2,3 millions d’analyses qui sont désormais disponibles.

La carte détaille si les PFAS sont présents dans les eaux souterraines, les eaux superficielles, l’eau distribuée ou les sites industriels.

How To Run Deepseek R1 671b Fully Locally On a $2000 EPYC Server


A note that this setup runs a 671B model in Q4 quantization at 3-4 TPS, running a Q8 would need something beefier. To run a 671B model in the original Q8 at 6-8 TPS you'd need a dual socket EPYC server motherboard with 768GB of RAM.

Interesting. I just bled a Ryzen ai with 64gb 8000 Ram because I thought/learned that memory bandwidth was important, but here - with this size model, he recommends a better cpu before more ram, before ram speed. However, the price of fast ram is ridiculous, so maybe the tradeoff is okay.

There are a few places in Spain that sell old linen by the lot. I guess as people’s grandparents die, their bed clothes get chucked or auctioned off. But I’ve had some amazing 80 year old linen, with amazing embroidery I use at the bottoms and edges of sleeves for the garments. There’s just no way to get that quality of affordable linen new.
in reply to Madeleine Morris

As we just have an exhibition about old clothes in our French museum: There are antique dealers who buy up old bed and kitchen linen because they achieve top prices for the quality. Also old coton and even the 19th c synthetic fibres like viscose, then rayon!
I had the pleasure of touching original pieces from the first half of the 20th century, such a garment lasted a lifetime (of course, it was mended).
