booyahpankerini: hurd is alive?01:37
pankeriniThe mail list seem active enough and people are commiting patches and modules to it.01:40
buZzi dont think anyone would object if you wanted to fork devuan into a hurd distro01:42
DocScrutinizer05hey folks, I got a linux generic question I can't answer since I'm not suffering the situation: when an attacker somehow hijacks e.g. IRC client and achieves to escalate privilegesm would that process stikk be kill-able by original iwner/user with their restricted permissions? or would the hijacked process act lije a root process then and not possible to kill by normal user?02:47
gnarfacei'd lean towards it not being killable by the original owner anymore, but there might not be just one answer to that02:49
DocScrutinizer05gnarface: :nod: thanks!04:26
Tom-_DocScrutinizer05, the escalation would most likely be through some other program, which would be running as root05:12

ejrbtw guys, a few days ago i asked in this channel about why my wireless usb mouse could possibly not be working in devuan anymore, even though it works on other systems. i just figured it out: i am using powertop, and it set it to autosuspend after 5 seconds. disabling that by changing its tunables solved it :)20:59
nacellethanks for following up21:17
* nacelle will have to remember powertop21:17
