Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

PoC to demonstrate root permission hijacking by exploiting "systemd-run"
No, the OP was not sent any harassment, the OP _did_ the harassment as it can be seen in the tweets. I mean, they are right there, just click on the links you shared. One of the OP's followers even openly called for the assassination of the project maintainer, and you have the galls to defend him? This is truly deranged stuff.
And again, there is no "vulnerability", there is simply a person that doesn't know how Linux works and has learned something new. Which again it's fine, nobody knows everything and we all learn new things everyday, it's just that normal and sensible people don't use that to make grand claims on social media and start harassment campaigns culminating in death threats.
Professional security researchers responsibly report real issues using the appropriate channels, such as defined at: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/security/policy this is not the work of a researcher, this is a grifter looking for self-promotion on social media.

Run0 – systemd based alternative to sudo announced
> 3. even `adduser` will not allow it by default
5. useradd does allow it (as noted in a comment). 6. Local users are not the only source, there things like LDAP and AD.
7. POSIX allows it:

Systemd Rolling Out "run0" As sudo Alternative
> I for one love to type out 13 extra characters
FWIW, systemd is normally pretty good at providing autocomplete suggestions, so even if you don't want to set up an alias you'll probably just have to type `--b ` to set it.
> I wonder what random ASCII escape sequences we can send.
According to the man page source[0]:
> The color specified should be an ANSI X3.64 SGR background color, i.e. strings such as `40`, `41`, …, `47`, `48;2;…`, `48;5;…`
and a link to the relevant Wikipedia page[1]. Given systemd's generally decent track record wrt defects and security issues, and the simplicity of valid colour values, I expect there's a fairly robust parameter verifier in there.
In fact, given the focus on starting the elevated command in a highly controlled environment, I'd expect the colour codes to be output to the originating terminal, not forwarded to the secure pty. That way, the only thing malformed escapes can affect is your own process, which you already have full control over anyway.
(Happy to be shown if that's a mistaken expectation though.)

Linux fu: getting started with systemd

Ubuntu 24.04 (and Debian) removed libsystemd from SSH server dependencies
Maybe it was because you weren't pointing out anything new?
There was a pull request to stop linking libzma to systemd before the attack even took place
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/31550
This was likely one of many things that pushed the attackers to work faster, and forced them into making mistakes.

T480 - Downgrading i7 8650 to i5 8250 because of fan noise
Yes i know it sounds wild but I need to be able to focus on my programming tasks. I run linux on my system and with throttled installed, it gets noisy and i'm tired of it. I'm not a gamer but I use win10 and win11 VMs and compile source code and just every day tasks spin up this fan. Before I installed throttled ( https://github.com/erpalma/throttled ) it was out of control. I haven HP 840 G5 that hardly even spins up. I got this because i had the same one for work and noticed it never bothered me. I have compared some compile times on the i5 and the i7 and even my desktop, they are all about the same so I dont see why I should care about having an i7. Im willing to buy a new mobo with the i5 8250 and just use that. i bought the dual heatsink fan and waiting for that to arrive so i'll install that first. But can anyone else share their experience with an i5 vs i7 and fan noise?

How to undervolt T480 under Debian 12 using throttled?
I have a T480 with an i7-8650U and I am a little confused undervolting using throttled
-
Intel vs AMD for Linux
It's the reverse. For some reason, the embedded controller (EC) on the T480 (and other later Intel Thinkpads) is aggressive with regards to throttling the CPU clock speed even when the temperature isn't that high. To solve this, someone made a program called throttled https://github.com/erpalma/throttled to fix the issue.

I just bought a T480s, have some questions
Planning to install Arch (EndeavourOS) on it. In the arch wiki and these forums, thermal throttling is mentioned per this post - https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/870u0a/t480s_linux_throttling_bug/. However this is 5yr old. Is throttling still an issue? And do you need to install throttled (https://github.com/erpalma/throttled) ?

Would the T480 be a good laptop for running Linux?
Thermal throttling can be tweaked through throttled.

Is X1 Carbon gen 6 a decent (beginner) Linux machine?
The machine throttles, under (only) Linux, when too law a CPU temperature is reached. Lenovo promised for months to fix this and then announced that it would not, after all, fix it. But the community came to the rescue.
-
Which ThinkPad model do you suggest I buy that works well with Linux?
The only thing with the X1C series though is that the thermals straight-up sucks; the laptop out of the box gets really hot really quick and throttles immediately. The first thing I did when I got it was undervolting the CPU with throttled, which helped a lot and increased my battery life significantly too. The fan basically only comes on under pretty heavy load now; before it sounded like it was about to achieve liftoff at about 20% cpu load.
- Thanks to everyone who helped out on a previous post. Got a great deal on a used X1 Carbon Gen 6 that doesn't even feel used!
