The normal way I believe is to provide dpkg, and rpm to cover a few distros and to make sure your software is good enough for someone to pick up and maintain packages for other/their distros. ;)

The options you already mentioned seems a good fit - with OBS being a bit rpm centric.

Doesn’t get much rougher than fediverse posts being just a headline and a Reddit link.

Read your other post and it seems to me that a rebuild of the system to accommodate non-root users would be my preferred solution. Trying to “work around“ issues like this are prone to break as the system is updated/changed. And you’re back to trying to figure out what’s changed and makes your script break.

Linux privilege only understands user id’s and group id’s. These are mapped through /etc/passwd and /etc/groups. You will see in passwd that the root user has UID 0. Any account you create with UID 0 will have root privileges. So running the command specifying any user with UID!=0 will run without those privileges.

It’s also possible to set user on execution with setuid - but that won’t work on scripts only binary executables.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_identifier

There’s no way to run a command as another user if that user is not created.

Edit:sudo is also an option but I like runuser for your use-case

I have less issues with wireless devices at work than wired, but it could come down to our sd-access network being designed by literal monkeys.

But I think that in 2023 people should pick layer1 based on the use-case and not old sayings.

What if the strong opinion is that you shall not murder?

I’ve educated myself enough to be able to have a strong position on the killing of innocents.

Doesn’t matter if they are Israeli, Palestinian, Somali, Japanese or even Swedish - innocent civilians have a right to live without being bombed.

Does not matter who’s dropping the bombs or on who they are dropping them. It’s just never the right thing to do.

Do you have any idea what that star was used for? Tip: it was not to mark people who was murdering kids. It’s spitting on those poor souls that was forced to wear the yellow star. These guys represent a country that bomb civilians and has nothing to do with holocaust.

If you can’t see the difference I’m sorry.

I’ve never touched one but 4 words into Google gave me the answer. The magic words I used was: intel compute stick headless

I do teach Google-fu and this first lesson was free.

Edit: was supposed to be answer to the other poster, not OP.

Anyways good luck on the compute stick OP, it can be almost what you want! It’s a pc with WiFi.

This is a smart move. Bring in the US for peacekeeping. Huge success like always. You may not know this but together these two nations stand for more peace than the rest of the countries in total!

You can put as much makeup as you want on a pig, it’s still a pig. Force people to move, and bombing civilians? Donning a Jew star in the UN? The whole country of Israel is a disgrace

Insightful comment! This is what we need to build a good community!!

If you don’t like MIT/BSD licensing it’s fine with me, but to claim those that use it is stupid or exploited because of their choices. These are people far smarter than you and capable of making their own choices.

My understanding is that FreeBSD has no issues with Apple basing their OS on FreeBSD. But you guys probably know better

Yeah - it would have been nice of them to inform him. I still don’t think he was “screwed over” by anyone and it seems like he doesn’t either. He updated his code for them without asking what they were using it for. And as he’s against the ME itself he claims he would not have cooperated if he had known.

Are you talking about Minix and how they went BSD license in 2000 to attract users? Seeing as it went downhill pretty fast in the 90’s?

Exploited? This is what the license is made for. You can take freebsd and do what you like - it’s free as in air, no strings attached other than the licence text.

You might not understand why the authors use MIT-like licensing

Their own - did you read up on their status reports so far this year?

What’s your take on freebsd and how development and the system is going. Are they ruined by exploitation?

FreeBSD seems to thrive on a mit like license - why can’t Linux do the same?

DNS is handled by peer - what kind of leak are you experiencing?

I had a drop of redbull once and was raging for months. It’s strong stuff

It’s expert friendly - but turns others away. https://vger.app/ helps a bit
