This is exactly one of those cases where an entire critical infrastructure is held together by the work of a single volunteer who apparently can’t find anyone willing to sponsor him for some financial support. #opensource #linux #foss #GNU

@pafurijaz Half the point of #FOSS (or more than half, for a lot of people) is the "free as in beer" element. If they were willing to pay for things, they'd be in the Windows or Mac walled gardens. That's just the reality of the situation. Create a tool for everyone, and everyone will use it until they need to pay up.

@pafurijaz Hey @sovtechfund, do you have any idea how to help here? Sudo really is critical (perhaps the most criticial not under team maintenance)

@pafurijaz Do you remember the SSH rooting contests from the 90s? At that time they would provide you the root password on the idea that if you could achieve unauthorized access to the machine across the network, a simple privilege escalation was trivial. Nowadays, that's no longer true, thanks to this hard work. I'll admit I take that level of security for granted these days.

You van install and use doas in Linux Debian.
It's great. I recommend it.
But, KDE Plasma depend to sudo, so at the end you have both. -

@AndiBarth @pafurijaz @sovtechfund
Sponsorship may be the best way, but I'm doubtful that interested users can take on that big of a role and cash... but I would certainly contribute if there was an alternative way to do something financially. Is there anything already available for donations, like KoFi, GoFundMe, or similar?
@sudoproject is on Mastodon, so perhaps Todd or someone can point to whatever might be out there already.
