The binary blobs match which checksums? The ones provided by the ventoy developer?
GLIM is an alternative that’s much simpler (it just uses Grub configs) so it is easy to audit:
Please don’t continue to recommend Ventoy. It has serious and unanswered security questions hanging over it, and the developer seems to be completely AWOL.

You’re just unabashedly supporting eugenics? Is that because you’re too young, or too uneducated to know any better?
They didn’t break RSA.
If this is impersonation (which it looks to be) shouldn’t it be removed?

I saw a website like that the other week and it was based in an EU country.
Informative and interesting article, thanks for sharing.
Quite a few of these POSIX improvements were new to me, even though it turns out that they already exist in the GNU versions of the tools.
