@rose wooooh
Im testing that tonite 

@[email protected] yay! let me know how it goes
depending on the distro you're using the test/vm stuff may be useful
I'll probably have published the Gentoo ebuild as well by then

@rose ill test on my gentoo desktop and on my alpine laptop

@rose do u have plans to support the uaccess mechanism with other sessions tracker than *logind, like turnstile btw ?

looking at the turnstile repo, they explicitly say its not a seat tracker, so I dont think I can support them
optimally id prefer to just have that part out honestly, uaccess is kinda annoying

@rose I see  
Is there any alternatives to it for making hid input devices work outside of just giving ur user permission manually ?

@tisanae @rose

a) have some process with higher privileges open it and send a file descriptor over (seatd approach)
b) add the user to an acl (elogind) or unix groups (traditional)

i personally think unix groups are fine and limiting user access to devices is the wrong way to go about it, as the proper thing to do would be to control which programs/processes are allowed to do $thing, not which users

@navi @tisanae @rose > as the proper thing to do would be to control which programs/processes are allowed to do $thing, not which users

 SELinux adjacent speech.

But yeah I do think that is reasonable.

@lispi314 @tisanae @rose

selinux is almost what i want except it's too complex and weird

i want simpler selinux, so like, just unix groups / acls but for processes -- so access to a resource would depend on both the user's groups and the pre-process groups

@navi @tisanae @rose @lispi314 I never closely looked at selinux, and I’m almost sorry for suggesting this, but … isn’t the setgid bit what you want?
