Re: Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
#412I hate to be defending Omarchy but I think for the modern desktop OS like Linux or Windows or Mac OS, "root" is not what it used to be. Like if I have something on my dev machines which is important from an enterprise perspective it is the credentials that I use to check things into the git repository or log into the postgresql database that are in some file or keyring or the credentials I used to log into some corpo…

And the word "pine" is kinda close to "penis", what of it? Words in languages sometimes sound kinda like rude or sexual vocabulary, especially in a language like Japanese with a relatively small phoneme inventory.

i don't understand why DHH is shipping so much bloat in omarchy. The better solution would be to ask if user wants to install bloatware during installation.
DHH created a distro for what he personally needs for work, and his company uses Zoom. It's that simple.

> people who want to use Arch Linux but have it configured the way DHH does Then they don't actually want to use Arch Linux. The Arch Linux way is to read the excellent wiki documentation, learn about all the choices available, and then make all of those choices so the system is configured the user's way instead of some celebrity's way.
installing arch is enough of a pain that I've been putting off installing it on my desktop for months.

#417I can't fathom why it's so common to run docker as root instead of as an unprivileged user. Docker has supported running rootless mode for years. I packaged the docker-rootless into Arch/AUR over 4 years ago, so it's been around and stable that long. Sure, on a server dedicated to running docker containers, maybe it makes sense for the marginal improvements to network latency. But otherwise, rootless should always be…

#418I was expecting a more sophisticated attack and then I scrolled down… > Omarchy configured its default user as a member of the Linux docker group. What the fuck? Docker makes it VERY, VERY clear this is unsafe. Feel free to verify the documentation. https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/ Why would you want to make this the default for your users, without even telling them? Did someone configured hi…
Perhaps Omarchy shouldn't have shipped this by default, but the whole point of the system is to be DHH's personal computer just the way he likes it (to include not 1, but 2 shortcuts to Twitter!) - all his products are that way and largely the reason why I don't ever think I could use one long term.

#419My most controversial opinion by far in tech circles is that I still just use a standard Windows gaming PC as my home desktop. My current machine I just bought pre-built from Microcenter, complete with a 5090 and everything. I can fire up a Linux terminal with WezTerm and WSL2 at any point. It's customized and beautiful and totally fine. I have Codex running in one right now. I can listen to Dolby Atmos music through…

#420Omarchy has me questioning liking Rails because it just… straight up sucks? It comes preloaded with friggen ZOOM. I don’t think Windows bloat is that bad. If it makes people happy it makes people happy I guess. These guys trying it would be even more amazed at Fedora Workstation (“you can press windows and it shows all your open windows? That’s so much better”)
