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.

OpenSearch – open-source search and analytics based on Apache 2.0 Elasticsearch
FD: I have a friend who works at Elastic, though he doesn't really colour my opinions of things.
> Firstly, dick moves like this: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-py/pull/1623
I understand that this is unpopular, but you can make a very strong argument that it's to prevent weird errors in the future. I'm also guilty of littering my code with Asserts to ensure the universe is working fine.
The alternative is to allow it to work and then you end up with weird issues like when you connect mysql client to mariadb server (and vice-versa): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50169576/mysql-8-0-11-er...
> Secondly, I don't buy the argument from Elastic any more. Yes, the ethical thing to do when you're making money from someone's work is at least contribute back. At the same time though, they're making money from packaging it up and selling it _as a service_. That "as a service" part is where they're making the bucks.
That's just an opinion, yes they have a service, and yes it competes with Amazon. Is it cool for Amazon to take a body of work and sell it without supporting it? Are amazon actually supporting it? Is it the same as Elastic using Lucene? (not really because Elastic submits a the majority of fixes to Lucene, but, you get it).
it's kinda gray, I'm sure Amazon thinks they're the good guy, but it's hard for me to look at Elastic as the bad guy in all this.

I Don't Think Elasticsearch Is a Good Logging System
Oh man, https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-py/issues/1734 is a disappointing read. I know ES wants to save their business, but alienating users isn't exactly the path to success.
- Elasticsearch adding code to reject connections to OpenSearch clusters or to clusters running open source distributions of ES7
- Official Elasticsearch Python library no longer works with open-source forks

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.)

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.
