Presumably since systemd runs as uid 0 run0 is just some glue code to tell systemd to run a process as uid0.

So on a systemd machine you get to throw out almost the entire sudo codebase which is redundant in that sense and has been a recurring attack vector.

But the bellyaching greybeard retards here will continue to get pwned because they refused to ever learn anything new after their brain got old and now they're hopelessly behind.

It sounds like if you need LDAP etc you just keep using sudo.

It might be "worth it" for a criminal to allow the backups and harvest private data.

Now skulduggerous types will be executing github searches for default bucket names and putting filters in for .bitcoin directories, browser password files, and similar nuggets of gold.

I'm glad I pay for vm's by the data rate available!

The definition of reasonable person has been revised downwards.

I suspect most people bought these to flip the bird to the worthless mask culture.

At least now we know forever that paper masks don't do a damn thing for viruses and N95's only work a little for trained wearers.

I'm still seeing mask litter in ditches everywhere. Mass hysteria.

Sounds like they're about to do a massive price hike.

They've started reminding me that I've "saved $11 in shipping costs" when I order a 6-pack of pencils like I'm a drunken fool who has no idea how costs are structured.

No better way to garner good customer will than to end every single transaction with a bald-faced lie!

It's not what's in it that matters, it's what's not in it.

If the Chinese people use chips without backdoors then they will have a global competitive advantage.

Of course Americans could also do that but domestic spying is too important to the fat unearned paychecks of the DC intelligentsia.

inexpert observation:

There are realms where quantum mechanics doesn't work, but Einstein's GR does....sure, vice versa too but the point is Einstein made something amazing that endures with time. Gravity might NOT be a quantum phenomenon, and our Standard Model can't handle gravity neither can our quantum field theories that came later.

We had LIGO first detecting colliding black holes via gravity waves for not even 9 years yet.... a century after Einstein published GR. holy shit!

Worse case is the complex total back door hidden in the A5+ gpu silicon that Kaspersky responsibly disclosed.

100% deliberate and not engineering code. Apple was able to patch in a block - for this one that we know about.

It's believed NSA used this backdoor to spy on Tucker Carlson's Signal messages. If they will spy on an American journalist they will spy on SK military generals any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

SK knows what's up and if anyone at Samsung betrays them they have means and methods.
