  • sudo has a bunch of commands and features nobody (except the person who implemented it) has ever used, giving it quite a large surface of attack. doas is meanwhile much leaner and developed by the OpenBSD community, meaning if a feature has security concerns it won’t be implemented no matter how practical. sudo-rs somewhat of a middle ground between the two, not planning on implementing every single feature of sudo while keeping the same core commands and implementing the quality of life features doas doesn’t like because they’re insecure, and is the solution I personally use.


















  • Because of the way those captions are stored VLC has to use OCR to convert the .SRT file (which basically stores low resolution b/w images I assume to easier allow for different alphabets) to normal text. I don’t know why the open source solutions are so bad at this (especially considering how good the proprietary solutions seem to be) but I had similar problems ripping a DVD. I would assume that had he turned off the special font VLC uses for the subtitles and instead just seen the raw data there wouldn’t have been a problem. Why VLC doesn’t enable this by default (/ have this) I don’t know.
