Why is Tesla on the list? Is a car company. How is the entire company that is trying to combat global warming and move to a sustainable future a threat to democracy?

Or are they just talking about its CEO and tarring the entire company for him?

If they hate Musk, X is a more appropriate thing to list. But Tesla?!

Their usefulness for me finding answers to tech problems has nose dived lately due to SEO shenanigans to get these tech solution pages full of ads to top of results.

Like no matter what error code you search for lately you get the first page full of

"The problem you searched for" [SOLVED] ... then a bunch of pages that say to run SFC /SCANNOW, the trio of DISM commands and if that doesn't work, try system restore.

It's gotten so bad I get better answers if I just append "site:reddit.com" to any issue I want to look for.

It's time to sell the company to Elon and retire.

Just be remembered for Facebook and amihotornot, as opposed to a dystopic VR system with Nintendo 64 graphics, and retire with your reputation as intact as it will ever be.

Without RMS *AND* Linus, all the benefits of free "Unix" we have now would have never existed.

It used to really suck when a copy of Unix, even for a 386, was a few thousand dollars.

Congress went to year round DST back in the 70s and people hated it so bad it only lasted one year.

Why would it be different this time?

This guy helped me write all the code I ever stole from Stackoverflow.

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 ...

Well that article was lacking in a lot of details. It'd be helpful to know how the compromises happened.

From all the cases I've read, none of the MSPs had 2FA enabled on their accounts.

Political ads are about as exciting as watching grass grow

Because stretching your fingers to navigate a 5"+ phone can be extremely painful to most people, especially sysadmins.

I'm old.

I don't get people around my age who are starting to retire and complain they have nothing to do and are bored. My God, I wish I had the time to play the games I want to play.

I just hope by the time I end up in a nursing home they are equipped with decent VR stations. Just plug me in in the morning after breakfast and don't bother me until it's time for dinner. Then take me back and plug me back in again.

Do Slashdot Editors grow new neurons?

This is a DUP of same story/headline posted 4 hours earlier ... ;-)

You should acquaint yourself with the basic facts of the story instead of relying on Reason Magazine. The "learn to code" shit was included in a barrage of death threats from 4chan users. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcnews.com%2Ftech%2Ft...

No, there are things the Americans don't do.

The Russian government requires all software companies there to include whatever code they give them. You should never run closed-source software on your machine if a Russian company was involved.
