Do you rely on mailing lists or news articles for security vulnerabilities? Please share.

I only got to know about xz/liblzma [1] and curl [2] [3] vulnerabilities through lemmy (maybe because of high severity?).

    I do regular automated updates. For anything requiring human intervention like the xz thing I trust Lemmy and YouTube to keep me updated. No dedicated news source because if I were to freak out about every new vulnerability found I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

        If you had it on a computer that is accessible via SSH from the internet you should proceed under the assumption that it was compromised. Which means you should reinstall from a safe medium and change your keys and passwords.
