    Let's sudo by face recognition of Windows Hello on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). It runs on both WSL 1 and WSL 2. This is a PAM module for Linux on WSL.

  • What kind of prompt is this? It looks like Windows Terminal running Bash, but are the icons PNGs (windows + home), or a specific type-face rendering emoji?

  • Hello, author of please (https://gitlab.com/edneville/please) here, where I've taken a different approach to make permitting grnular things simple.

    Permiting everything is no different really to browsing the web as root.

    Permitting granular things in sudo and doas isn't easy.

    For what it is worth, many of the systems I work on on have many more than just one user and I am sure that other people work on bigger environments too. When you have multiple users, you run the risk of delegating more access than you should and thus compromise content, hence why I think access should simple!

    RDP Wrapper Library

  • Technically MSFT disabled the RDP server feature in Home edition, meaning you can't use Windows Home as RDP host (I am not sure the proper terminology for this). The software still in there, you only can use RDP client in Win Home, not the server aspect. It is just disabled without official way of enabling it (w/o upgrading to Pro). However there is way to get it enabled in Windows Home, it need rdpwrap by stascrop. Just download the file and run it. It will get the server aspect running.
