I did write an actual replacement. It's what TFA is about :)
> I did write an actual replacement. It's what TFA is about :) That is obviously not a replacement; either we take the serious approach of "sudo allows only authorized users to run things as root" and yours doesn't control access, or we take the nonserious approach of "sudo has so many bugs that it just gives people access" in which case we hardly need to bother rewriting it.
Yesn't.

Author of the article here. What?

#116For some more serious alternatives, I have heard of many people finding doas to be a drop in replacement. Furthermore, I've heard some people suggest neither doas nor sudo, but instead using an SSH server to gain root access to your local machine. It could listen on localhost and use key-based auth to allow root logins...
Except the enterprise security industry is waging war on ssh keys and ssh/sshd.
What's wrong with ssh keys? Or ssh/sshd for that matter?

I swear I saw a heart emoji a few months ago in a comment at the bottom of a long thread. Not sure if it was a bug, an easter egg, or maybe a figment of my imagination. Also I wonder if you have a secret dashboard full of buttons to control this website, and now there's a "Enable emojis for 10 seconds" button, next to "Subtract 1 karma to anyone with a custom topcolor" and "Promote a random Lisp post to the front pag…
It might have been a rendering of U+2661 ♡ or U+2665 ♥ or U+2764 (this last one does get stripped by HN) which are not emoji but may be rendered as such by the browser.
This is dangerous information to spread. Censor yourself, or it will be abused and we will lose this easter egg forevermore.
Let's keep it a secret between you, I and dang's emoji stripping code.

#118I mean clearly this is all quite tongue in cheek but: > It's also debatable if the entire concept of privilege separation as implemented in Linux and UNIX was a bad idea to begin with but we're stuck with it because of an endless ball of legacy programs controlled by egotistical open source people that refuse to change […] Not a very charitable way to describe volunteers who don’t want to learn the flavor-of-the-mont…
It wasn't very charitable, but neither is the "flavor-of-the-month language" dig
That’s fair, it was a bit rude of me. Sorry rust folks it actually is a cool language.

> I'm on the spectrum, and I can't tell 99% of these things apart. Looks like a sad face to me. no different then the 500 other sad face emoji's I find. I'll stick with =( If it's any consolation, I don't think anyone could infer that from the emoji itself. The meaning is like a subculture's slang. I don't use emojis, so I only know the very basic ones (which I consider to be obfuscated emoticons).
Am I the only one that can read faces in here? It is pretty obvious that it is a face doing the sad puppy eyes, like the one a young niece might do after I refuse to buy her some ice cream. I didn't even know it's meant to be underground, impenetrable slang.
you are alone

A appreciate you 'describing' the emoji for me. I'm on the spectrum, and I can't tell 99% of these things apart. Looks like a sad face to me. no different then the 500 other sad face emoji's I find. I'll stick with =(
> I'm on the spectrum, and I can't tell 99% of these things apart If it's any consolation, I'm not, and I don't know exactly what a lot of the face-emojis are supposed to be expressing unless I see a text representation of them or otherwise have them explained.
Yeah, many are just too small to distinguish clearly. I actually thought it was "rolling eyes". That's kind of how it renders for me in Firefox anyway, but if I zoom in a lot I see it's not.
