This issue report describes a credential-stealing attack buried within LiteLLM 1.82.8 in the PyPI repository. It collects and exfiltrates a wide variety of information, including SSH keys, credentials for a number of cloud services, crypto wallets, and so on. Anybody who has installed this package has likely been compromised and needs to respond accordingly.

Update: see this futuresearch article for some more information. "The release contains a malicious .pth file (litellm_init.pth) that executes automatically on every Python process startup when litellm is installed in the environment."

Chris Down has posted a detailed look at how the kernel's zswap and zram subsystems work — and how they differ.

Most people think of zswap and zram simply as two different flavours of the same thing: compressed swap. At a surface level, that's correct – both compress pages that would otherwise end up on disk – but they make fundamentally different bets about how the kernel should handle memory pressure, and picking the wrong one for your situation can actively make things worse than having no swap at all
