It looks like it uses "child_pty" to spawn pty's. child_pty hasn't been updated to support the latest nan/v8 api (in fact, it looks like it's been unmaintained since March). It also improperly uses fs streams t

I'm not sure where you're going with this. That `unset` is useless since they don't call sudo to initiate the exploit. The setuid/setgid bits on the newgrp binary are to blame here (combined with the env variable). They

/etc/sudoers is not the only potential target here. Even if that did work, this vulnerability could still brick your entire OS. They could overwrite any file they wanted to.

I'm seriously shocked. This is ridiculous. This looks like possibly the easiest root exploit ever discovered on a desktop OS (a one-liner in bash). Why in the world would they allow an env variable to write to a file in a setuid'd

I thought emacs already had an X11 window manager built-in. In all seriousness, this is pretty cool, and it uses libxcb. Nice.

Agreed. That was pretty good. A dash of bash with 3 teaspoons of butter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs#Subvolumes_and_snapshots

Luckily we all switched to nmap's `ncat` utility. At least, I hope all of us did.

No thanks necessary. It all came out of my terminal obsession. Nights where I didn't sleep because I loved making cool shit happen in my terminal.

On another note, I would love to see higher level frameworks wrapping blessed. Blessed gives you the API and some fancy widgets/elements: it's the (nicer) DOM for the terminal. This guy already started an XML-based markup language

Thanks for posting this. It certainly got a lot more attention than my original post for blessed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6058639 I guess I'm bad at HN. :)

I agree with the gif optimization. It's on the todo list. The most important part is actually the x and y offsets for each frame, like you said: the damage to the image. It should be possible since ttystudio uses a blessed terminal cel

The default font (terminus) supports 891 glyphs. However, ttystudio can support any font you find in .bdf format. The readme explains how to use them. Terminus works fine with tmux, vim, ncmpcpp, mutt, irssi, cmatrix, hundreds of pieces of

I'm sorry you feel that way. This project came out of my own need I guess. I had too much trouble with ttyrec+ttygif: glitchy/corrupt gif frames (bad dispose ops maybe?), clunky interface, requires terminal playback on a GUI, conc

ES6 is a mixed bag for me. I'm against block scope in a way. It's semi-useful, but it's just sugar. So many features of ES6 seem to be designed for people who don't want to bother learning javascript: classes, block scop

I've always defended goto and gotten a lot of flak for it. As soon as I say, "I wish I had X-language had gotos", I see jaws drop. Response: "Wow, haven't you heard the news?! GOTOs are considered harmful!" I t

Is \v being mentioned in specifications really causing a problem? I've never seen someone mistakenly use a vertical tab in code where they could be using something better. Maybe it's useless, but I wouldn't say it's ha

This scares the hell out of me. The idea that an organization/government will require programmers to get licenses. I would have never gotten into coding if I hadn't had the freedom to play around with code when I was younger. Remi

My most recent major git crisis wasn't reversable by git. A little while ago, I accidentally did a `git clean -xdf` on my home directory (wrong tmux tab). I index my home directory: just the most important config files, among other not

Yeah, I agree with you. I suppose I worded that strangely. I didn't mean cut certs out of the equation, just use fingerprints as fallback, if possible. I wasn't aware of HPKP. According to mozilla docs, it's lacking some brow

This is interesting. I've always been okay with dropping HTTP for HTTPS-only as a long-term goal, as long as we get rid of the SSL cert racket first . As far as MITM and identity go, could we at least modify the protocol to allow fing

Maybe Crockford is a bit behind the times. In the good old days, if it were still 2011, this wouldn't be NIH. Back then, everyone was still writing their own async flow control libraries. It was like a rite of passage into the node wor

yaronn, I totally appreciate that. I like seeing projects based on blessed, and yours might be the first major library to do that. The drawille ascii art in blessed-contrib is awesome, and it's good because I think it belongs in a sepa
