Comment Not tsunami-like (Score 5, Insightful) 29

"Star-quakes" (more accurately, the excitation of one or more internal acoustic or gravity oscillation modes in a star) are neither tsnunami-like or cataclysmic, and TFA is pure clickbait. In most stars in which they've been detected, the brightness fluctuations they cause are well below the one-part-in-a-thousand level.

They do, however, have the potential to uncover the internal structure of stars, via the technique of asteroseismology. So, the Gaia DR3 release is pretty exciting stuff -- just no need to overhype it with Michael Bay adjectives.

Full disclosure: I am a computational asteroseismologist.

Sudo has always been very aggressive about addressing security issues and the developers take it very seriously - they have been doing this for several decades. Good thing since by the nature of the tool, it escalates privileges.

So while a bummer to see this exploit, that should not discourage anyone from using it and it is a de-facto tool in the sysadmin toolkit.

Ditto what Brian-Fu said in that I'm curious how the "su - works just fine" people log their commands, provide some granular control (by user and command), etc. etc.

And let me know how well that scales with you have hundreds/thousands of machines and dozens of Sysadmins ...

It is masked but always present. I don't know who built to it. It came before the first kernel.
