New comment by spyc in "Memory-safe sudo to become the default in Ubuntu"

spyc — Wed, 07 May 2025 00:40:48 +0000

Both implementations of doas for Linux have (the same) unfixed security issue:

- https://github.com/Duncaen/OpenDoas/issues/106

- 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.

Lost trust for sure. Who knows if Redis would be AGPL now if Valkey did not exist.

If anyone wonders what atop looks like at runtime or what it would be useful for, there's a video dedicated to the tool at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27AtCR5ftyM .

I'm reading "I can go into why another time." like "I don't have time" personally, not like "I am not allowed to say".
