Mastodon•social has a rather slow moderation, much spam accounts and typically rather bans more left-wing accounts in conflicts rather than the right-wingers with hate agenda. Also, it’s federating with Meta’s "Threads", allowing queer-hating ("queerphobic") accounts like "Libs of TikTok" to interact with the fediverse.

I wonder why? The only death threats I ever got were from queer activists because I cautioned them about their aggressive tone and tactics and stated that people like me get estranged by this.

Originally posted by nvaert1986 View PostI don't understand why there's so much hatred against systemd. There's nothing or nobody forcing you to use a specific feature. There's alternatives for those that don't want to use systemd explicitly, but I'm actually a Gentoo user with systemd, because everything just integrates better and makes my life easier, but that doesn't mean I'm using everything.
Its not just bad design that it's ended up functionally monolithic, there's also the ability to leverage vulnerabilities across multiple components. Something which was quite poignantly demonstrated in the wild with the supply chain attack on XZ, which went completely unnoticed by Pottering & Co.
All of the above is my personal choice and no-one else's.
I also understand why they're picking 1 standard to support from a developers perspective
Specially when its now been conclusively and poignantly proven that its functionally monolithic nature has made it highly vulnerable to supply chain attacks and the developers found to have been totally asleep at the wheel regarding them.Last edited by L_A_G; 30 April 2024, 08:31 AM."Why should I want to make anything up?

To hell with topic derailment and complete lack of moderation on these forums starting from the very first page of comments. Zero interventions regarding security and robustness. I'm not a security guy, but this sounds neat. Poettering is always interesting and pleasant to read; that being said, I hate this trend of writing multiple comments on lame social thingies instead of writing actual articles, especially since he's got a blog already.

Sure, those scripts are way older, but since they are phased out in any productive environment, you can't really tell them "under strong review" as nobody cares about them anymore.
another POV on 'systemd-run0'
"run0 may be used to temporarily and interactively acquire elevated or different privileges. It serves a similar purpose as sudo(8), but operates differently in a couple of key areas:- No execution or security context credentials are inherited from the caller into the invoked commands, as they are invoked from a fresh, isolated service forked off the service manager.
- Authentication takes place via polkit, thus isolating the authentication prompt from the terminal (if possible).
- An independent pseudo-tty is allocated for the invoked command, detaching its lifecycle and isolating it for security.
- No SetUID/SetGID file access bit functionality is used for the implementation.
Any session invoked via run0 will run through the "systemd-run0" PAM stack.
Note that run0 is implemented as an alternative multi-call invocation of systemd-run(1)." ]

I have become more and more of a "live and let live" kind of person. In the end, the most important characteristic in somebody is whether or not they are a decent person. Not perfect, but decent and isn't out causing harm to other people. I have become more conservative as I have gotten older, but ultimately that is on an issue by issue basis. I try to look at all issues and see them independently, think about how I might feel about them each independent of each other. The last thing I want to do is subscribe to a "weekly email list" that updates me on how I should feel about things, most of them not related to each other and should be evaluated on their own. That is why I do not subscribe to myself any capital letter labels (e.g. Conservative, Liberal, Republican, Democrat, etc.)
In the end, people tend to gravitate to others for all sorts of different reasons, and I strongly believe in the rights for personal free association. But anyone who is just doing their thing and not harming other people deserve to be treated fairly and be allowed to do the same. There are always going to be disagreements about where the line of harm is etc., but if people are just being people, and they are pleasant and not causing issues, then I tend not to have any issues myself no matter who they are. It has been a much better way to be for me, and I intend to stick to some form of this course.
