Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to SSH server compromise
The `pack`[0] compression utility that reached the HN front page the other day[1] is setting off my alarm bells right now. (It was at the time too, but now doubly so)
It's written in Pascal, and the only (semi-)documented way to build it yourself is to use a graphical IDE, and pull in pre-compiled library binaries (stored in the git repo of a dependency which afaict Pack is the only dependent of - appears to be maintained by the same pseudonymous author but from a different account).
I've opened an issue[2] outlining my concerns. I'm certainly not accusing them of having backdoored binaries, but if I was setting up a project to be deliberately backdoorable, it'd look a lot like this.

Python Is Portable
I tried to build a Win10 binary with Nuitka just the other day, and was surprised to find that the pyinstaller binary had higher performance. Pyinstaller also had several other advantages, such as producing smaller binaries, and building faster, and Win7 support.
For reference, I kept notes on the exact commands I used: https://github.com/9001/copyparty/blob/hovudstraum/docs/nuit...
