    They actually did try to optimize it a bit in v5.6.1, but the person that found the exploit was on the older unoptimized version v5.6.0.

      It’s like the evil [character] meme where an image of them was inverted, along with a caption of something that’s the opposite of what they’d say. So, here dystopia is basically depicted as “evil utopia”

      I think it’s just the utopia image with colors inverted, which is a visual gag that I’m loving

      The XZ exploit was found because some dude was investigating performance issues in a system, and noticed an unusual amount of time being spent in SSH processing, IIRC.
