>Chinese spyware with a backdoor
You can't just pull things from your ass. Ventoy is 100% open source.
just like xz
xz literally did prove that open source can't have backdoors. That is why it was fixed before actually doing anything. Code was open source. Sometimes anons are so stupid I can't even understand how. There is 10 to 30 developers actively going through Ventoys code and checking what developers do. Probably thousands have checked different parts of the code.
Finally someone with common sense on gee.
issue #2795 says there are still "more blobs than source code" in ventoy and that the code that people are worried about isn't open source even if ventoy claims to be
I actually checked that "[issue]: Remove BLOBs from the source tree #2795" and this is literally the reason to love open source. People point out the problem and can move to something else or in some cases compile those blobs themselfs after (you or somebody else) checking what they do. Either this will be solved or people move to some other alternative. Or someone forks the project.
people who believed, like you did 10 mins ago, that ventoy was open source used it to install thousands of machines with operating systems that may be compromised right now
I don't use Ventoy. Also those blobs are copied from different projects that have source and I have compiled those to binaries and checked that SHA-256 matches to those that Ventoy uses. Still it would be good to have that source code in Ventoy's repo instead of those binaries.

>xz literally did prove that open source can't have backdoors.
No It didn't it proved open source is vulnerable to attacks we didn't knew would be used in non mail related environments. it only got catched by one guy working for Microsoft for a unrelated reason he even was baffled that no security researcher has found out about it before he did.
>There is 10 to 30 developers actively going through Ventoys code and checking what developers do.
Now audit SystemD code
>muh open sores
Nobody checks the code. Only some autist that got pissed about 0.5ms longer load times went and investigated.
I'm just mentioning the word around town. Many people have mentioned the binary blobs. Plus nobody has done a full audit on ventoy yet.
Have you actually tried to build it from source? The person who made the PKGBUILD for AUR discovered that building Ventoy without binary blobs of old compiled versions of various packages and without running it on an old distro is an extremely obtuse and complicated process. There are too many places to hide a xz-style backdoor in there.
That doesn't mean it has one. If you don't have anything substantial to say, please take your meds.
the greatest chinese spyware boot tool ever made
chris "tight ass" tech uses it
its just a toy
a ventoy
It just works man. Why is it so good?
I just dont see the point, why do I need a middle man for my bootable usbs. I make a bootable usb at most like once or twice a year and they've always only taken a few minutes to setup
it's for moronic distrohoppers
Window strippers too. It saved me so much time. Also allows you to have a bunch of utility ISOs on one drive. Seeing as how you can get a 128GB flash drives for cheap, it's a no-brainer.
>it's for moronic distrohoppers
Hey, that's me! I have a different encrypted USB for each non-systemd OS. They are all safe for use in the blender. Never again will I load an OS to internal storage.
How many USB drives do you have and for what OS's?
its for tech janitors that need to reinstall the right version of windows on martha's computer for the 5th time that month
its a part of a toolkit for a lot of ppl like other anons mentioned
its great because you can not only store ISOs but other tools as well, i created a 5GB partition for other software and tools usually needed after a fresh install

What is the use case for ventoy?
The truth is, there is none. The type of person who feels the need to have several ISOs on their person isn't leaving their basement to use those ISOs anyway. Just write an ISO to a USB drive as you need it. Imagine running Chinese blobs because you have a hoarding mental illness. Treatment like psychotherapy is available.
ventoy is helpful in an infotech service department. it is a time saver. for the average user at home, it is helpful if one likes to test out different distributions on bare metal. though that's a very niche use case. there's also netboot.xyz which offers a similar solution using network storage and network booting instead of usb drives.
I burn a couple of DVDs instead
>Chinktoy
multiboot homosexuals are digital trannies.
Simple as.
The backdoors live rent-free in your head, chud.
It's safe, I've been using it for years now and have done hundreds of installations with it. My current main machine has been installed from ventoy. It just works. Chinese boys make the best wives and the best software. Fax.

What's the alternative, yumi?
>Is it Chinese spyware with a backdoor?
huh, what happened? I slept through everything again, QRD please
>huh, what happened?
OP pulled something smelly out of his ass
What is the point to bother about it, morons? It only allows you to run your shitty .iso's, undeveloped g/incels/. God, I hate you all so much, you despicable pieces of illiterate shit.
i use rufus
IQfy can't into PXE boot?
PXE boot is great when you're stationary

Do amerisharts really? I doubt they can do anything nowadays.
