    Do tell. I mean Debian has a local root exploit right now but everybody loves Debian. Meanwhile Manjaro is the devil for a DDoS that wasn’t even proven as coming from Manjaro machines. Anybody can fake a user agent.

    Thing is, pamac on Manjaro could not have DDoS’ed the AUR since it caches all queries. What’s the scenario, 125k new Manjaro machines all came online at the same time?

    All evidence points at someone scraping the AUR and using the pamac UA as a fake-out. But still the Manjaro devs took the opportunity to improve pamac even so, they asked for more optimized endpoints to use, extended the delay before searching to 1s etc. Which yes I find wholesome under the circumstances.

      I’m sure you’re familiar with Manjarno. I’ll refer you to the work that’s already been done there.

        Yes I’m familiar. It’s that list of nonsense that people link to when they run out of arguments but just gotta keep hating, right?

        Someone should put together a Manjaryes and then we can just swap links and never use any braincells.

          Oh no, its actually the list of sourced information about all of Manjaro’s fumbles.

          It’s open-source, you’re welcome to open an issue if you can dispute the claims in it.

          Or you can just keep calling it nonsense. Whatever’s easier.
