    The upcoming death of setuid/setgid on Linux

    Group passwords are really neat. Before rootless Docker became possible on Linux, you had 2 options: either run docker through sudo or assign yourself to the docker group, which is dangerous. I chose a 3rd option that they adopted in their documentation...

    Can we please have a forum for LLMs/AI topics?

    Having a subforum makes a lot of sense as it would help to depoliticize the subject or keep it contained.

    The upcoming death of setuid/setgid on Linux

    On *BSD there's no equivalent to Linux's /etc/gshadow to store the group password.

    The upcoming death of setuid/setgid on Linux

    Turns out it's doable in FreeBSD with procctl(2) and PROC_NO_NEW_PRIVS_CTL https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?procctl(2) The command to do this would be: proccontrol -m nonewprivs /bin/sh I wonder if HardenedBSD would dare to do this in the future.

    Spending $17 million to replace git

    You're abusing git here because the only file metadata git stores is file permissions, but not owner/group, flags, etc.

    BSD Make > GNU Make

    I'm not a GNU hater, btw. I just like the way BSD make is integrated with the rest of the system and some design choices. GNU make has stuff heavily inspired by LISP that some people love anyway and you can directly use Guile on it.

    Spending $17 million to replace git

    It's a fancy wrapper around git branch, revert, worktree, stash, etc. You can have "unlimited undo" just by reverting.

    AI finds thousands of zero-day exploits... including in FreeBSD.

    You must know the saying from a few years ago that software was eating the world. Now AI is eating software through commoditization and licence laundering bringing total disruption. Now is the worst time to take anything for granted... While previously you'd hire a designer for a logo or a...

    AI finds thousands of zero-day exploits... including in FreeBSD.

    The ones selling the shovels are getting insane profits. The hyperscalers have yet to turn a profit but they have lots of money to spend. They can also reinvent themselves like Google & Meta not being strictly IT companies anymore but in the ad business.

    AI finds thousands of zero-day exploits... including in FreeBSD.

    There's lots of hype but there's also doomerism and both sides are wrong. The most obvious use-case for AI is cheap entertainment like memes and NSFW content that even OpenAI is flirting with. Those waiting for an AI bubble pop will be disappointed... We don't need AGI for LLM's to be useful...

    AI finds thousands of zero-day exploits... including in FreeBSD.

    The hype is unavoidable and we gotta learn to separate the wheat from the chaff. There will come a time, very soon, where it'll be considered rude to submit code to review that you didn't review thru to a LLM first. This is being automated in CI as we speak where an AI agent does the...

    It's a warning message that appears only when compiling on -CURRENT and it can be ignored as it's not related to this patch.

    I have 2 GMKTec boxes with I226-V. Will test this on 15-STABLE & 16-CURRENT over the weekend. Thanks a lot for your patch.

    Also OpenBSD. But I think there was another thread where we were discussing this.
