A security issue in Omarchy’s default Docker configuration meant that
essentially every program running in the user’s desktop session could escalate
to root without a password, sudo, or a privilege prompt.
If you use Omarchy, the most important takeaway is
simple: update to 4.0.1.
I reported this issue privately through the project’s responsible-disclosure
process. The underlying configuration has since been patched, so I’m publishing
the details now to explain what the issue is and let users know to update their
systems.
stop using a system made by fascist?
I wasn’t sure what to make of claims that this random techbro is a fascist, so I decided to look for clues. I found this article from last month in minutes, and after reading it, I require no further convincing. Guy’s a Nazi whether he knows it or not.
If anyone is interested in a more thorough and recent write-up of why many of us call DHH fash, this gnome blog post is pretty good: https://blogs.gnome.org/alatiera/2025/11/06/dhh-and-omarchy-midlife-crisis/
Quote from end of your linked article. Note he talks about humans:

EUGHH… fuckin gross…
This guy is complete trash. Does excessive coding rip holes into people’s brains?
There seems to be a notable amount of FOSS coders of the old guard (90s til 00s) that are like that.
I long frequented a place called linuxquestions.org. You wouldn’t believe how right-wing to libertarian most of the people there were. Still are I guess.
Some gained status (Ruby on Rails was a big thing 1 or 2 decades back) and started spouting things because they knew people were listening.
Some people in such communities recognize that there’s something off here, and they have this excuse ready: all coders/nerds are basically on the spectrum (they don’t phrase it like this though) and don’t know how to phrase things politely, they just blurt it out.
As if that makes things better when you think like that guy.
No, because until the dot-com era when “tech bros” first became a thing, a lot of the computing pioneers were leftist/hippie counterculture types. Think MIT AI Lab (RMS), The Homebrew Computer Club (Woz, Captain Crunch), Germany’s Chaos Computer Club, etc.

Explain the likes of Curtis Yarvin then. There’s definitely some techno fascists that go back further than dot-com
Not Yarvin though, he’s too young for that. He is exactly a product of (what came after) the dot-com era. That’s when people’s brains started to melt.
You’re entirely right. For some reason I thought he’d been around a lot longer
He said “a lot”, he didn’t say “all”
I explained myself badly and I think that comment reads as more argumentative than I intended.
I meant to say that the countercultural world of the early internet created a lot of the deeply problematic culture of the current moment as well as having a bunch of right-on goodness. The seeds of the bad shit were also there in amongst everything that was good.
Can’t argue with that
The creator and maintainer of NeoVim was also really against removing a DHH endorsement from the NeoVim website and called it cancel culture.
He knows it. He just doesn’t admit it.
publicly.
Ugh, I stopped reading when he segued from wolves being a danger to humans straight into the “gypsy problem” 🤮
Also had a look at the site for this distro, he really seems to like cars and seems to be pretty full of himself about some neither-new-nor-original arch+tiling_wm distro.
segue my friend
Thanks, fixed
WHOA. Bombastic claim there, brah.
He’s a Eugenics aficionado, and racist-ADJACENT
The hard question becomes is it better for Linux (where anyone can contribute) to get the attention and donations or for commercial software where only nonhuman corporations benefit.
The more power such people have in such positions, the more money they get, the worse it gets. And the bigger the cult might get, which could suck people into the views and so on. Do not underestimate that.
