1 month agoBetter than I could have ever put it. But to add my own thoughts, sudo-rs does not gain value just by being in Rust.
- It’s a more lean
sudowith compatability for common flags while intentionally not implementing niche/legacy options, including the one used by CVE-2025-32463, though if I did not need any of those flags at all, I would (and in past, have) just useopendoas. - The project contains extensive testing and a harness versatile enough to also test the OG
sudoand has caught regressions in it. The rewrite wanting parity withsudo’s behavior has improved the originalsudo; you can gain its benefits even if you won’t/don’t/can’t run it. This is the main reasonuutilshasn’t convinced me of its worth yet. - Having more eyes on
sudois just good. By translating it, they have to understand many ofsudo’s poorly-documented idiosyncracies and review all its relevant code and consider potential potential edge-cases. That’s basically an audit.
I was the opposite. I stopped using hyprland because I found it utterly broken (Ctrl-X rant here). Didn’t find out about the community until after I left. User of i3, sway, and niri. Thanks to Lemmy for first mentioning niri to me. :)
