The not immediately obvious thing is usernames tied to an email address. When you no longer have access to the address any confirmation hoops you have to jump through get sent to somewhere you can no longer find. That's how I lost my first slashdot username (annoying but no loss - only a couple of years older than this one) and I can appreciate that losing multiple logins would be extremely annoying. The other is informing a lot of people that they can no longer contact you on the same address that's been active for so long, and have most of them ignore it and have forgotten by the time they try to contact you again.
Compared with those downloading the emails is trivially easy.
The NRA promotes the NRA. They took a dump on the second amendment, wrapped it up and threw it in our faces as part of that. They are a major source of misinformation about the second amendment.
The Beirut Bombing was carried out by Hezbollah
Yes. Another of Oliver North's customers. Look it up. He sold them anti-tank missiles among other things. He went to court over it and everything.
Have you thought this through? Which is better in your opinion, not starting a service if there is a problem with a service or running arbitrary code as root?
Can you see now why it is being called a newbie mistake?
As a bit of an aside there's usually a smelly additive introduced before piping it anywhere. Being able to smell gas is a better alternative than detecting it via ignition.
Of course it does, with Oliver North as the main ringleader. Take a good close look at those pieces of shit and you'll see that safety, freedom and all the rest are the last things on their mind. They trade in fear and bullshit to increase their political power and fleece the members. They are led by a thief and traitor who sold weapons to extremist Islamic terrorists less than a year after they killed over a hundred US Marines. What part of that is incorrect?
I won't dignify your attempt to move the goalposts away from the NRA with "pro-second amendment advocates" with an answer. Surely you are better than such attempts to deflect and it was a momentary lapse.
We are discussing the opposite of containment - we are discussing a newbie mistake (design error not bug) and scope creep that allows escalation. It's a bit more fundamental than "home written unit files".
I guess the question is if the input should be validated by systemd or the tool creating the user
Considering that the tool can be a text editor it's nothing but ignorance (on the part of the developer not yourself) or an excuse for laziness to expect the tool to do the work of checking for a valid input.
Maybe - but it's truly a newbie mistake to allow invalid input. Letting invalid input allow full access is the sort of stuff we laugh at the worst of MS for and not something to emulate.
Yes, as you found out "0day" is not a valid username. I wonder which tool permitted you to create it in the first place... So, yeah, I don't think there's anything to fix in systemd here.
It's things like this that remind us that Lennart is even now still a newbie who thinks in terms of MS Windows. The tool that could create such a username is any text editor, which is something nearly every sysadmin and nearly any long term user of *nix could have told him.
In systemd, if a unit fails, the ENTIRE init system fails and your system boots in emergency mode.
And that is worse than allowing full escalation to root in what way? The problem with that development team is a focus on single user laptops and desktops where it doesn't really matter if the user has full root access. They should be paddling in the shallow pool of MS Windows 10 instead of changing something people want to use for servers.
It is in SystemD, an expanded init system. Written by SystemD developers. Pretending that it's not a SystemD problem because it's a different subsystem to the main thread is somewhat misleading IMHO so please don't insult the intelligence of readers. If you are going to have a sig like yours you should probably try to live up to the standards of what you advocate.
systemd will get rid of these bugs eventually as time goes on.
Over the last decade it's simply expanded instead of getting things right with existing functions. Note in the summary "the bug has apparently been present in systemd code since June of 2015". That's about the time DNS was dragged into SystemD isn't it?
Better still, eat the melon and treat the gun as the useful and dangerous tool that it is and never even point it at someone, loaded or not, unless you intend to kill them. If the NRA actually acted like a responsible gun club instead of spreading the myth that gun ownership automatically gives you a nine foot penis with a flag on the end we'd see a lot less stupid shit like this.
So Hillary lied in 1996 with the stupid sort of shit many politicians do of vastly overstating danger every time they go onto the same continent as a military situation? So? What is the point? Hillary is old news and never coming back. Why are you bringing her up quote altering guy? It's not as if you are not a liar yourself.
They supported and condoned people who want me dead
They gave how much money and material military support to Israel? It's the exact opposite of what you say whining AC. Obama and many before supported and condoned killing the people who want you dead and supplied the weapons for free. Sorry little whiner on welfare playing the race card, but in reality every US administration for decades has been doing the exact opposite and paying an utter fortune to do the exact opposite of what you claim. I'm quite fond of Israel and support giving aid no matter who is running the place and no matter how badly. Whining "poor winners" not so much.
The vast majority of the nuclear waste problem is secondary materials (pipework, handling equipment etc) exposed to strong neutron emitters and not the actual fuel rods. There is just so much volume of it. It's not so active and not so difficult to store, but separating out bits is not going to give you anything other than separate groups of radioactive things. I imagine you are thinking of fuel re-processing, if so the rejected parts of the fuel rods are still very radioactive and still need to be treated with care so it still doesn't "solve" the waste problem. Just about every process has a waste problem of some kind, nukes just have that one.
There are plenty of ways but processing doesn't come for free. A lot of the really useful stuff has high melting points and/or is very strongly chemically bound to something else. However, as for the stuff mentioned in the undergrad study splashed all over the net, it's usually dopants in silicon so in such tiny traces that it would be very difficult to recover even if you melt the silicon and fairly difficult to remove chemically. The question that should be asked when tiny traces of things that are very tightly bound in and chemically stable are being suggested as pollutants is how the hell are they going to get out? If it's that easy to leach them out then recycling would be cheap.

Don't blame the poster for the stupid phrase since the "tool" bit is a quote from Lennart.
Lennart P: "Yes, as you found out "0day" is not a valid username. I wonder which tool permitted you to create it in the first place"
The stupidity of the the whole thing is of course something I totally agree with.

Wrong, unless you meant to write "absolute monarchy" instead.
Washington, Jefferson and the rest gave the courts a major role for a reason.
If used to get ahead you are stuck with doing it, because what you've done recently is normally the only thing considered for promotion.
Of course it does, with Oliver North as the main ringleader.

It matters because it gives us a little bit of insight into the testing and development process (and the low priority of security).

Because RedHat are pushing it and Lennart convinced the Gnome people to depend upon it. Grubby office politics not functionality.

It's only 5% because economists want to be counted as scientists now.
The democracy and republic agenda instead of a King guided by the wisdom of his good friend Vladimir.
