I had to look this up on Wikipedia and remembered this is the 19 year old UNHRC. They have never been objective in regards to the Middle East conflict.

It's easy to confuse them with the UNHCR, which I believe is a reputable body.

Distros are struggling with the amount of packages they have to maintain and update regularly. That's one of the main reasons why languages built their own ecosystems in the first place. It became popular with CPAN and Maven and took off with Ruby gems.

Linux distros can't even provide all the apps users want, that's why freshmeat existed and we have linuxbrew, flatpak, Ubuntu multiverse, PPA, third party Debian repositories, the openSUSE Buildservice, the AUR, ...

There is no community that has the capacity to audit and support multiple branches of libraries.

I paid for Mozillla Pocket Premium and they canceled their product within a few months, did not properly open-source the server, did not export my "permanent library" and refunded 6$. As the websites in the "permanent library" are partially offline, that data is now lost. No thanks, not buying again.

I suspect that they don't actually maintain the permanent library, but rather a formatted view of the content that used to be there. Some of the sites I have the URL saved have transitioned to paywall and/or merged, goes offline or disappeared for some reason, so I can't actually read many of the links I exported from it. Though for the one that actually catches interest, I'll look for it in archiving service, but it's a tiresome work to search for it one by one.

I still don't get over the fact Mozilla bought it and shattered it less than a decade later. Perhaps it doesn't make enough "impact" to justify their time and resources, and if this behavior subsists, I would be more discouraged to give them money ever again.

The permanent library was strange. Not very transparent what happened there. I am still shocked they did not invest in the original idea (tag and archive web page), but instead tried to build another content stream with recommended articles and such.

Indeed:

  title,url,time_added,tags,status

I guess I'll have to write a scraper to download the permanent copies?

I'm screwed because many of the articles in my pocket no longer exist.

I totally agree.

  A forever home for your collection. Pocket becomes your permanent library—so even if a page you've saved is taken down, you'll still have a copy of it in Pocket

That's what I paid for. I trusted in Mozilla being open and allowing me to take my data with me. This is worse than Google?

These protests are organized by conservative organizations. They represent the big farms and the export industry. I'm not sure why the "World Socialist Website" thinks this is some grass root resistance to austerity politics.

> The coalition in Berlin will stop at nothing to suppress this movement and defend the bankrupt capitalist social system against any opposition.

Actually, the government already gave into some of the demands of the protesting, subsidies-receiving land owners.

But well, maybe that's because the "World Socialist Website" has their own Putin-politics to push:

> This is underlined by the brutality with which it is fuelling the punitive war against Russia in Ukraine, supporting the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza

Both the left and the right in Germany are pro putin. DACH countries have a peculiar relationship with Russia for some reason. Switzerland and Austria being quite favourable despite their “support” for Ukraine. Austria being the worst.

An article in a Trotskyite paper is like a church service in that there are parts of it that change and other parts that stay the same. Both do it because it is good pedagogy, but introducing a bunch of unrelated points just gives the critical reader opportunities to find refutations.

I was very happy that peace activist Howie Hawkins in the U.S. denounced the Russian invasion from the very beginning. He travels with a crowd that doesn't like NATO in a rather reflexive and dogmatic way which I would not be so opposed to so long as Russia could prove NATO was unnecessary through its actions.

RVM gemsets are used for the same reasons one would use venvs, no?

It's already happening with fascist propaganda: https://joinpeertube.org/news/isd-study

Isn't that identical to 'sudo -i'?

No, `sudo su -` gives you a shell resembling one you would get when logging in interactively as root, while `sudo -i` applies some of its configuration. Which is not always well suited for interactive uses to put it lightly. For example PATH is set to something smaller than I would like.

It gives you a pretty similar result in the end. From my understanding, with 'sudo -i', you're still using sudo itself to run commands as root (or any other specified user).

'sudo su -' instead executes the 'su -' command, giving you a root shell, as a superuser with 'sudo'. If you left the 'sudo' out, you'd have to type the root password.

sudo -i and sudo -s also give you a root shell. "sudo su" is a tautology that's unnecessary is almost all cases.

    $ sudo -l
    [...]
    
    User yrro may run the following commands on fw33748-02:
        (ALL : ALL) ALL
        (ALL : ALL) !/usr/bin/sudo, !/usr/bin/su, !/bin/su

So

    $ sudo su -
    Sorry, user yrro is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/su -' as root on fw33748-02.example.qq.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, but:

  $ sudo /bin/sh -c su -

It's never useful to deny certain commands to a user if that user is allowed to open a shell. Any shell. So you probably want to change that first line to

  (ALL : ALL) NOEXEC: ALL

and provide a whitelist for all tools that do spawn children as part of their normal operation (such as apt, dpkg, and probably half of all unix tooling).

It's how I've trained myself to avoid 'sudo su -' - by removing my user's ability to use sudo to run su ;)

Well, when Ubuntu was first released 18 years ago, it was the first big distribution without any open ports in the default installation and no root password. Of course there were hardening guides for Debian, which you could use to shut down the fingerd daemon and the ftp server and get rid of the global administrator account. Linux distributions had so many remotely exploitable bugs, that whole books were written about them. (Windows was still worse)

Other distros slowly started to adapt the "secure by default" policy and came up with different approaches. OpenSUSE for example still uses the root password for sudo. The patch to /etc/sudoers is massive.

I wouldn't expect sudo to behave the same across distros, there is a lot of history to it.
