Not sure if it's related, but my youtube revanced installation was also not working. I had to repatch again using the most recent patch.

Then just use endeavour os. It's basically Arch but with a preset configuration already decided for you.

You should write a will instructing your family to send those disks to the internet archive for preservation if something happened to you.

It is huge! They claimed to have preserved about 5% of the world’s books.

It's very illegal. iirc it was created by a group called "Pirate Library Mirror" after the guy that runs z-library got arrested, so I assume they're taking anonymity seriously to avoid arrest.

They host academic papers and books, most of them are copyrighted contents. They recently got in trouble for scraping a book metadata service to generate a list of books that hasn't been archived yet: https://torrentfreak.com/lawsuit-accuses-annas-archive-of-hacking-worldcat-stealing-2-2-tb-data-240207/

It's not though, because the malicious release happened more than two weeks ago and manjaro had to fast track the patched xs from arch git repo. This is why manjaro should extend their delayed update policy to catch this kind of issue in the future (maybe 2 months instead of 2 weeks) /s

Maybe Manjaro should delay update even longer to make it extra secure /s

I visited a coal power plant when I was still a student in a university. It's like stony charcoals.

What scary is the maintainer that insert the backdoor has been main maintainer for xz for the last two years. Who know if they have other backdoors inserted in the last 2 years? Investigation is still ongoing so I expect more juicy revelations in the next few days.

If you're using xz version 5.6.0 or 5.6.1, please upgrade asap, especially if you're using a rolling-release distro like Arch or its derivatives. Arch has rolled out the patched version a few hours ago.
