Not that anybody's alive to actually do that...

Here's the direct link: https://web.archive.org/web/20241006015615/https://files.catbox.moe/deetxa.mp4

I just chose it because I really don't care about that. It's my own personal repo for Void, but if anyone wants to use it, that's fine, use it however you like.

IDK if CC is available on GH from the drop down menu, I know Unlicense is... it was the fastest way to say "I really don't care what you do".

I actually don't care to be honest.

Oh, yeah, you're right. I thought USB 3.x had Thunderbolt specs, not 4.

No prob 😊.

My point was, it flopped as a standard. It's not that it's good or bad, it's just not used any more, there are no new devices with FireWire. USB killed it essentially. The same will happen with Thunderbolt, USB 3.x will kill it.

I seriously doubt there will be something that will replace USB. It's backwards compatible to oblivion and just supports newer and newer things. It's very hard to beat that.

If by maliciously you mean a virus might take advantage of the system in those 5 minute, the answer is, yes, it is possible... not likely, but possible.

If the question was, can the shell by itself escalate a command that does not have sudo in front of the command, the answer is no. If it did that, than there are some serious bugs in the code... or some malicious code planted in it. By definition, it's not supposed to do what you don't tell it to do.

So that is why I always have to install sudo manually 🤦.

And I think older versions also left you at root, you had to define a user account manually. I think that's not the case now as I recall (I haven't installed Debian in a while).

It's challenging, big place, big problems. Managing the whole thing is the hard part, especially when you're on a budget.

But, to be honest, that's about it. It's getting boring for me after 5 years there. I was thinking about quitting and moving abroad.

Sorry (again 😂, this happens quite a lot with you, lol), it's early in the morning here, didn't have my coffee yet.

If the question is can privileges be escalate later on while a command or a script is executing, the answer is yes. You can also deescalate them once the root creds stuff is done executing. You just have to make it clear in the script or the command that "you do this with root creds, but then you continue with user creds".

The point I was trying to make with my previous comment was that, if a process (command, script, whatever) is ran with root privileges, every program, command, script it invokes later on is ran with root privileges, unless it's specifically noted to run this or that part with some other privileges.

They just don't wanna port it to Linux... it's basically that simple.

Yep, released this year. You can find ISOs on archive.org.

Not so small where I work... 800+ employees.

There just isn't enough content. Yes, some interesting info and shared links, but I like my social media mixed up, as in, some serious thread, then a few jokes/shitposts, then some more serious threads. There isn't enough of that any more.

And the rules in most funny/shitpost comms are kinda strict when it comes to comedy. So I just stopped posting stuff all together on most comms, except a few.

Yeah... and all of that is kept "just in case"... turns out "just in case" can be fun.

Really? But why?

Credentials are inherited by every child process that the parent process invokes. Thus, if you give root credentials to a command, every subsequent command that the original one invokes will have root credentials.

There are some exceptions, but these are special case scenarios and are literally only a few.

Oh, sorry, I misread programs as programmers 😁.

And no, I don't think so. Credentials need to be cleared before exectution.

Jesus 🤦...

And this is why I never get bonuses. I just can't be bothered with kissing upper management ass... tried it once... I walked out of the meeting with me telling them "less talking, more doing"... no one from upper management called me ever again. Even if they did have a computer problem, they just told the secretary to call me.
