Running fewer commands as root is more significant risk reduction than having an extra user. I won’t be replying further since I’m simply repeating what others have already said. If you sincerely don’t understand, I suggest doing additional research on your own.

You seem to be looking at the issue in black and white. Any reduction in root access is beneficial. Using sudo with password cache lasting an hour is still preferable to signing in as root. As many people have said, it’s about minimizing attack surface

None of us can tell you the right approach for your specific system and use-case. People are simply pointing out that what you stated you’re doing is insecure and not recommended

Are you asking why it’s more secure to surface a few commands without password rather than all of them…?

Same. Maybe I’m just old, but this isn’t even slightly funny. Wish the repetitive, low-effort memes were left back on reddit

I used it for a bit. For a supposedly privacy focused search engine, they sure dislike when users connect through a VPN. I’m met with constant identity checks and, with certain queries, straight up access denied pages. Selling the company to an ad agency is another massive red flag. It’s unfortunate since we’re starved for decent, free search options these days, but skip them.

What a throwback. That game is great

Mind if I check it out as well? I’m considering switching to NixOS
