SEL4 and derivatives. For starters. And if you want to simply go by vulnerability counts, as though that meant something, let's throw in MenuetOS and TempleOS.

Nah. If something is 'safe', it's safe, period. If something is safest is, it's only the best of the available options and not necessarily 'safe'.

Can you link to any comment in this thread of someone actually claiming that?

People are generally not trying to get root via an SSH RCE over localhost. That's going to be a pretty small sample of people that applies to. But, sure, in that case fail2ban won't mitigate, but that's pretty damn obviously

Honestly, I think your reactions just show that you don't really understand why the kernels devs behavior in this context is so childish and irresponsible. Looks like you have some reading to do :)

> why have the limit at all? Because it's probably buggy and not tested with commits past a certain file size. Better question, why no use a more appropriate, instead of convenient, tool for the job?

What? No, the kernel devs just have stop acting like idiot children in this regard.

No, the problem needs to be fixed. Adding more noise isn't helpful at this point.

No, not good. Just because we have something better doesn't mean it's good to sabotage what most people are still using. Really.

Relative to the rest of the world, Europe is pretty small. And even then, OpenSUSE being used more often in Europe doesn't mean it's more popular than the other big distros in Europe. Besides all that though, my point was non euro

Downvoted, but the fact remains. If your settings revert after every update, you didn't tame W10 properly. So those people downvoting likely have some reading to do, or they can downvote and keep feeling hurt and keep fixing their inst

I know this comment is old, but I was wondering if you could randomly explain something I've wondered about for some time. Doesn't Hawking radiation, since it exits a black hole, violate the idea that nothing escapes a black hole?

A group with a GID of 0 i just the root group, regardless of what it is called. wheel isn't meant to be another name for root, and putting users in a root group is not a better solution, better than what the wheel group already solves.
