Hi fellow reader,

I'm ririxi, core maintainer of spicetify. Some people asked me to do a technical explanation of what spotify shipped with macOS Intel versions. This would be my first time writing a post like this, so I apologize for any inscriptions.

What is V8 context snapshot?

Spotify under the hood uses CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) which is a framework around chromium, essentially electron but for C++. Chromium uses a V8 which is a Javascript engine created by Google. V8 can generate serialized representation (bytecode) of the V8 engine's heap. It contains pre-initialized JavaScript objects and functions.

Updates (September 1st, 2024)

Now that I finally have a good handle on things now I wanted to give a little update as I work my way back.

• I'm essentially working three jobs right now.
• I've left my former "main" job. Depending on how this works out I may have free time again as I'll be work from home, kinda... I'll be able to have a console/monitor with me at "work" at the least. As time goes on my free time will go up especially after next summer. The only issue is it's a HUGE, ~50%, pay decease which effects how bad the next two points hit...
• I may have ~$300k in taxes to pay to try and keep my late family's property in the family. That's not "tax on $300k worth of assets" but "owing $300k"
• My computer that's been on it's last leg for a long time. Now it is randomly crashing and it appears to be a hardware issue. It's an all in one device, a Surface Pro, that's all soldered together so I can't just start swapping parts. Because of the unknown bill coming up I can't spend any money on anything n

There appears to be a string encoded in the binary payload:

Which functions as a killswitch:

Thus, one workaround for affected systems might be to add this to `/etc/environment`:

FAQ on the xz-utils backdoor (CVE-2024-3094)

This is a living document. Everything in this document is made in good faith of being accurate, but like I just said; we don't yet know everything about what's going on.

Update: I've disabled comments as of 2025-01-26 to avoid everyone having notifications for something a year on if someone wants to suggest a correction. Folks are free to email to suggest corrections still, of course.
