I learnt a lesson yeah. It looks like I got away, there’s no rootkit, I found nothing weird running, I don’t have npm Installed, and up until now it doesn’t seem like the packages I had installed were compromised. But I had way more AUR packages installed than I was aware of. And I was just updating them without really caring about the pkgbuild, I have better things to do. Multiple packages were outdated crap that shouldn’t have been there anymore.
I was careless and took too much risk. I reduced the Installed AUR packages to a minimum, and from now on I will verify the PKGBUILDs on every update. Maybe Arch isn’t really what I need. I’m on the LTS kernel and I no longer really use the AUR. But switching will be a huge hassle and this setup will work well from here on out, so I’ll stick to it for now
Don’t worry! I get my AC on Friday, after that there can be no more memee
