How do you disable machinectl entirely? [solved] (iusearchlinux.fyi)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by trachemys@iusearchlinux.fyi to c/linux@lemmy.ml

I’m mostly interested in disabling the command to create a root shell ‘machinectl shell @root’. Attempting to ‘systemctl disable systemd-machined’ doesn’t work.

Edit:

After some more poking, it seems polkit is the way to do it. Create the file /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-deny-machinectl.rules and add the following

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
   if (action.id.startsWith("org.freedesktop.machine1.")) {
         return polkit.Result.NO;
   }
});

The list of all actions you can filter on are in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.machine1.policy

Turns out that Web Environment Integrity proposal everybody is getting angry about (imo very legitimately) was effectively already shipped by Apple in Safari last year by trachemys in c/technology@lemmy.ml

That’s irrelevant. This proposal only gets bad if enough browsers support it that site owners can tell everybody who doesn’t use it to leave. At that point the open web is dead.

He really did buy it just to delete it.

They said they are replacing it with something else. I believe more money will be directly involved.

Don’t update the firmware. In 2022 they released firmware that blocks non genuine toner.

I just want big tech social media to fail. It gives too much power to Musk, Zuck, Spez, et al.

If you end up needing insurance to get help from an AI doctor bot, we have failed as a civilization.

Funding an instance with advertising (iusearchlinux.fyi)

If your instance started showing ads, would you just leave to another instance? Do you see any way to fund the operation of an instance other than donations?

sub might turn into orca only sub

For those of you out of the loop, Reddit admins took it upon themselves to remove a meme about Orca's attacking yachts. source

Not even that...literally a screenshot of an article by The Atlantic saying the orcas are bad for attacking boats and then underneath it a scene from The Office with the caption altered to say "You know what? Now I'm going to root for the orcas even harder." source

This is an interesting examination of intel architecture history from the perspective of what micro-ops are used for a simple x86 loop and if they qualify as “RISC”.

Dispelling the myth of a universal "Lemmy" community, and discussion of what the fediverse really is by trachemys in c/technology@beehaw.org

[-] trachemys@iusearchlinux.fyi 18 points 1 year ago

Federation/Fediverse should mean a user of any instance should be able to use any community. Gated communities shouldn’t be the expected norm. So, I would agree with the lemmy.world people who are upset at being broadly blocked from a Fediverse community. But it doesn’t matter because beehaw says it is temporary.

Defederating lemmy.world is a temporary measure as better mod tools are made. It isn’t worth handwringing over. Defederation should not be the norm for dealing with a few trolls, or objectionable communities.

Pending subscription to communities by trachemys in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] trachemys@iusearchlinux.fyi 16 points 1 year ago

I have that issue too. But, clicking on the community does show the posts and I seem to be able to post comments. So I don’t know what functionality is actually “pending”.
