Re:Sourcehut account takeover via build logs (XSS in ansi2html) on Friday September 25, 2026 @07:12AM (#49842914)
A free-for-life "Professional hackers" package (https://sourcehut.org/pricing/) would be the minimum compensation in my eyes.

I think he meant to say "prioritize" so that availability related work sees results sooner — "acceleration" — than it would without an increase in priority.
That's a great question!

Re:Memory-safe sudo to become the default in Ubuntu on Tuesday May 06, 2025 @08:40PM (#43911111)
Both implementations of doas for Linux have (the same) unfixed security issue:

- https://github.com/slicer69/doas/issues/110

I have a hard time recommending doas over sudo on Linux when the issue has been fixed in sudo but not in doas.
