How do you test your projects if there are any infected/affected dependencies used? As i understand it could also be a dependency of a dependency ... that could be affected?


   npm audit
and

   npm audit --fix
Or if you want to know the version of a package you have installed:

   npm ls some-pkg


Or bun


Or hold [Shift] while right clicking


Microsoft's own "you're holding it wrong moment": "You're right clicking wrong"


I recently learned about https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/ but i have no expirience using it


Watching Mr. Robot and seeing the burned batteries the same time...


I understand the problem mentioned with mcp servers but this kind of attack could happen to any external dependency (like a smtp package) i guess


The difference is if you went looking for a smtp package you’d land on an established library with a track record and probably years worth of trust behind it. The Mcp stuff is so new all of that is missing, people are just using stuff that appeared yesterday. It’s the Wild West, you need to have your six shooter ready.


The "postmark-mcp" from the article seems like some random guy's package though, postmark has its own official mcp server as well: https://postmarkapp.com/lp/mcp. It's like installing ublock extension but published by a 'coder3012' account




On Android devices? If so: how? :)


I don't use it with wireguard, but Zerotier works just fine on Android.


As does tailscale!


My only issue with wireguard/tailscale is that somehow my work IT has managed to make it unusable on our wifi. It's really annoying. I'm pretty sure it's a misconfiguration on their end but they don't have any reason to care.

OpenVPN does seem to always work everywhere (presumably because outside contractors and support personnel use OpenVPN when onsite so it's a squeaky wheel that matters) so I've moved to that instead. Beyond that I can't figure out what the hell is the problem and the way IT works, they have no reason to fix it. I did get them to somewhat work on it by reporting Google VPN as randomly failing, but they just fixed Google VPN and nothing more than that. So anyway wireguard is great until you encounter bullshit corporate firewalls.



This is my recommendation for anyone that wants full control.

I use Tailscale, purely out of laziness and a willingness to trust them today, but I'd move to head scale if either of those caveats changed.


Which models are you using?
