> You claimed "Ventoy adds repos". It does not. It is incapable of doing anything of the kind. It does not run on the installed system. It does not modify the boot media in any way. This is demonstrable and verifiable.
It literally adds an rdinit to the kernel boot line that hijacks the boot process and messes with it in a shell script. This is demonstrable and verifiable: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/blob/master/IMG/cpio/ventoy...

Not familiar with Rockchip. Plenty of searches come up with cases of people incorporating ffmpeg into Rockchip projects. I still see the license files and headers. What is different with this DMCA takedown?

zxc
Lossless compression C library built for ultra-fast decode. Faster than LZ4 (40-75%+ on ARM64), at a better ratio. Official Rust, Python, Node.js, Go and WASM bindings. Write-once/read-many, with optional seekable archives for O(1) random access. (by hellobertrand)
Project mention: A decompressor is an interpreter for hostile input: here's what that costs to ship safely | dev.to | 2026-06-18A compression library is a uniquely dangerous thing to ship. It's small, fast, and dependency-light — which is exactly why it ends up linked into web servers, firmware, package managers, and SSH daemons, sitting in everyone's hot path. When xz was backdoored in early 2024 (CVE-2024-3094, CVSS 10.0), the lesson most people took was "audit your maintainers." Building ZXC, the lesson I took was narrower and more uncomfortable: most of the industry treats a decompressor like a utility function, when it's really an interpreter for attacker-controlled input.
