FAQ on the xz-utils backdoor (CVE-2024-3094)

This is a living document. Everything in this document is made in good faith of being accurate, but like I just said; we don't yet know everything about what's going on.

Update: I've disabled comments as of 2025-01-26 to avoid everyone having notifications for something a year on if someone wants to suggest a correction. Folks are free to email to suggest corrections still, of course.

What I wish I knew going into Wii U hacking

For the past six months I've been learning about hacking my Wii U. I could have completed this project in a weekend, but sometimes I get an itch to go further.

My goal has been to have the ultimate couch console where friends can play video games in the same place in front of the same screen (plus gamepad screen). After that first weekend I was able to play homebrew, and make game backups to play. It even came with new software to use PS3 controllers on the console as pro controllers. My console had become really cool, but it wasn't perfect. So, I began working on getting it from 75% to perfect to 95% perfect (see unfixed cons below).

The documentation for that first 75% is really good and simple, but it's so simple the learning curve to do more advance things is steep. The research involved included digging through decade old forum posts, out of date wikis, finding files in abandoned MEGA drive downloads, reading source code in a dozens of repos, and lots of t

⚠️ Disclaimer ⚠️

This script is not well tested, like at all. This script might break things, possibly important things. You should probably take a backup of your Firefox profile before using it. You have been warned.

Dependencies

sudo apt install -y curl unzip zip
# Only needed when jailbreaking the Snap

In the last years I've been asked multiple times about the comparison between raylib and SDL libraries. Unfortunately, my experience with SDL was quite limited so I couldn't provide a good comparison. In the last two years I've learned about SDL and used it to teach at University so I feel that now I can provide a good comparison between both.

Hope it helps future users to better understand this two libraries internals and functionality.

Because cross-compiling binaries for Windows is easier than building natively

I want Microsoft to do better, want Windows to be a decent development platform-and yet, I constantly see Microsoft playing the open source game: advertising how open-source and developer friendly they are - only to crush developers under the heel of the corporate behemoth's boot.

The people who work at Microsoft are amazing, kind, talented individuals. This is aimed at the company's leadership, who I feel has on many occassions crushed myself and other developers under. It's a plea for help.

The source of truth for the 'open source' C#, C++, Rust, and other Windows SDKs is proprietary

You probably haven't heard of it before, but if you've ever used win32 API bindings in C#, C++, Rust, or other languages, odds are they were generated from a repository called microsoft/win32metadata.
