Scary is back, a prolific block evader that sails close to and within fash instances. Seems they're trying to be less overt this round and going for more of a concern trolling angle. Anyway, I know they're watching my account and some others and will see this so "hi, a block is a block ya twat " I guess.

After 113 years, the 18,800 acres of grassland, woodland and wildlife that comprise the National Bison Range, along with its resident bison herd, will be returned to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.

A friend asked me to help her with an ebook she had purchased from which she could not copy any text. It was protected by DRM. It seems that printing it to another PDF file from Okular can do the trick. Don't ever do that, as it is illegal. I did not try to do it, of course. As well as I did not try to convert it to PS and then back to PDF, because it had never worked for me before with other kinds of restrictions. This is knowledge you should never acquire nor share with your followers.

Me: I don't think I feel much of any imposter syndrome?

Also me: *suddenly must tackle the Ops side of DevOps in earnest*

Also me: Oh, right, this is what it feels like.

PSA: buffer overflow in sudo; allows for local privesc even when a user is not in sudoers

as a temporary workaround to restrict it to only the users who should be allowed to use it, one can use POSIX ACLs:

chmod 4750 /usr/bin/sudo
setfacl -m g:allow-groupid:rx /usr/bin/sudo or setfacl -m u:allow-userid:rx /usr/bin/sudo
