I've been investigating #sudo alternatives. Just finished a short article on the topic: https://lmemsm.dreamwidth.org/30755.html Would be interested to hear if you use a sudo alternative on your system and if so, which program do you prefer and why? #FLOSS #FOSS #OpenSource #FreeSoftware #C #Linux #AIX #Windows

No. There is just no reason for me to switch to a lesser known alternative. At least many people, and organizations, have taken a look at the code over the years. Though that's not a guarantee but makes me feel safer. And I had no problems in using and configuring sudo (besides misunderstanding / wrongly using parts from the documentation 😅)

@Madic @lmemsm nodds in agreement

Last time I checked #toybox only had su, not #sudo, but outside if #OS1337 I do stick with the distro's defaults cuz they should know best how to keep it as secure as can be.

@kkarhan I was just looking at OS 1337 on github. It looks like such a great project. I would love to know more about it and plans for its future.

@lmemsm basically the Idea behind it is to be a brutally simple #toybox + #musl / #linux distro that grew out of the necessity for me to actually think about #firmware for some projects.

Basically I want something that is so simple and auditable that it's practical to make it pass any #verification demands for #SecureTerminal|s in #CriticalInfrastructure and #Communications.

  • OFC one may point at my other projects and say: "Why don't you just put #RaspberryPiOS on a #microSD?" ignoring that the smallest image is >330MB in size and that seems kinda overkill for essentially my demands for a minimalist #Linux with very few programs in userspace.

Not to mention a #GNUfree - #Linux distro is the way to go if I want that thing to not get bricked constantly by minor #GlibC-changes...

  • End goal is something akin to #MSDOS in it's brutal simplicity, but way more extendable.

I hope that answers your question...

  • Sorry for the delay.
