Yeesh, that sudo fea^H^H^Hbug is something. I started using doas some years ago (doas doesn't have anywhere near the feature-set/attack-surface of sudo, but for all my lame uses, works exactly the same), and I ain't no computter delouser, but I sure hope it doesn't have the same implied chroot bug. On the other hand, "don't let anyone on your systems, ever" is probably just as sane and wise as it was 30 years ago. Hell, I wouldn't even allow myself on my systems, if I had half a lick of sense.
Also, the odds of me clickin' on a video with Steve Perry's face in the thumbnail are pretty stinkin' low. For all a know, it's "DORN'T STORP BEEREAVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!", and I'm not a gambler. I don't know when to hold 'em. I don't know when to fold 'em. I don't know when to walk away. I don't know when to run. I always count my money when I'm sittin' at the table, and there's never enough time for counting when the dealin's done.
