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.

    Quote from end of your linked article. Note he talks about humans:

    When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them.

      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.

            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.

              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.
