Brexit was such a monumental mistake. Worse than the US electing Trump once, but probably not worse than electing Trump twice.
echo "calories" >> .gitignore
The malicious code was written and debugged at their convenience and saved as an object module linker file that had been stripped of debugger symbols (this is one of its features that made Fruend suspicious enough to keep digging when he profiled his backdoored ssh looking for that 500ms delay: there were no symbols to attribute the cpu cycles to).
It was then further obfuscated by being chopped up and placed into a pure binary file that was ostensibly included in the tarballs for the xz library build process to use as a test case file during its build process. The file was supposedly an example of a bad compressed file.
This "test" file was placed in the .gitignore seen in the repo so the file's abscense on github was explained. Being included as a binary test file only in the tarballs means that the malicious code isn't on github in any form. Its nowhere to be seen until you get the tarball.
The build process then creates some highly obfuscated bash scripts on the fly during compilation that check for the existence of the files (since they won't be there if you're building from github). If they're there, the scripts reassemble the object module, basically replacing the code that you would see in the repo.
Thats a simplified version of why there's no code to see, and that's just one aspect of this thing. It's sneaky.
After all you've seen Trump get away with I can't believe that you still somehow think this little detail will matter. SCOTUS will create an exemption of some kind for him.

Oh I agree. But my god the embedded industry is slow to update toolchains.
I would love to have Rust as an option for my ARM development, but that's years off. ARM is only now about to come out with a visual studio based toolchain for their Keil C compiler instead of the proprietary IDE.
As an embedded systems programmer I'd like to point out that that's not true at all.
Trump supporters have donation fatigue.
It's a nice way of saying that they just been pumped dry by the grift over the years.
I liked rock sort of "meh" when I was a kid, being born in 1964 a lot of it was old hippie stuff that never clicked with me like Zeppelin.
Then one day I was playing D&D at a friend's house and he played Mongoloid by DEVO. Holy shit I lost my mind. There was music out there that actually spoke to me!
I was at Storr and Portree back in November. Love Skye a lot.
Does he know about cashews?
