Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months - eviltoast
[issue]: Remove BLOBs from the source tree · Issue #2795 · ventoy/Ventoy
github.com
What happened? Due to the recent XZ-Utils drama I checked the code and I'm appalled. There are more BLOBS than source code. https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/tree/3f65f0ef03e4aebcd14f233ca808a4f8946...

I had no idea this issue had been identified. While I find this tool very useful, the project is seeming rather questionable to me now.

    Seriously this. Any comment about a complicated system that starts with “just” can be ignored 99% of the time.

    Also, there are 4k forks of Ventoy already. Obviously forking it isn’t helping. Actual work needs to be done.
