> it’s a bit sad that we don’t have more passion projects like this Check out UnReal World, which Tarn cites as a source for his own inspiration (and is itself still under active d…

The reason there is no safe dose is because even background levels of radiation will cause eventual health consequences, just not before another cause of death.

Configuring sudo is such a footgun that it was deemed necessary to fork a text editor purpose-built for only modifying sudo configurations (visudo). So, that’s why not sudo. As for…
