Supply Chain Attack on Axios Pulls Malicious Dependency from npm
A supply chain attack on Axios introduced a malicious dependency, plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, published minutes earlier and absent from the project’s GitHub releases.
A shitty plugin loader for Obsidian.
I hacked this together in a few hours because there's currently no way to load your own plugins, I'll probably archive this when the awesome Obsidian team opens up an official API.
Until I stop being lazy and add packing, you'll need Node.js to install Volcano. Once it's installed, run the following in a terminal:
npm install -g volcano
Then, run volcano to inject the plugin loader into the Obsidian executable. You'll have to re-run this whenever Obsidian updates.
Plugins are stored in the form of JavaScript files in the ~/volcano/plugins/ directory. Check out the wiki for more information on writing plugins.
You can download some plugins from the volcano plugins repository.
