@lanodan_tmp @wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net people accidentally type their passwords into their shells and don't scrub it from ~/.[shell]_history i think expecting people to check that is asking a bit

@lanodan_tmp @wxcafe@social.wxcafe.net also, you didn't consider the possibility of "which where when why" all also being poisoned

once a competent enough attacker has control of your ~/.[shell]_profile, all they have to do is wait for you to mess up

And so on, also if you’re like… uh what about compilers and not trusting binairies there is something about that too in reproductible builds.
