hbag posted:ive genuinely never heard of endless OS so i can only guess it's something wacky and also whimsical It looks like its a distro intended for students or schools. It appears their business model is selling licenses for commercial use of any number, or non-commercial use for more than 500 devices. I assume they wanted to spend as little money as possible supporting their users so developed this abomination that lets anyone reset the password of any user (which is probably their biggest support request), including the root user.

The ABSOLUTE LEAST they should be doing if they are allowing this reset any user thing is encrypting the disk and upon a reset request, nuking it and starting them fresh. They should be encrypting the disk by default anyway, but apparently this distro doesn't even support disk encryption, which is why the reset anyone implementation doesn't *technically* increase the user's exposure to a bad actor with physical access to the device (since they could reboot with a live usb, or pull the drive and mount it to another device. But of course it does, in practice, do so since it makes the tools to access a user who isn't you far more readily accessible. Security through obscurity may not be a GOOD security approach, but it does apply a least some degree of a filter to low information malicious actors.

when suspdish worked for endless, endless was still working on that blob shaped cheap appliance computer, which appears to be mostly memoryholed on their website the whole thing seems to be a replay of the OLPC grift. nerds who read too much stephenson are all like: "poors need computers too. we charity grifters will deliver special poor-people computers to them. this one weird trick bootstraps third world countries into prosperity!" then when the hardware angle fails because nobody really wants fake computers, pivot to software. when that goes nowhere, fold, and through it all maintain a studied ignorance of the real roots of global poverty (lomarf at the endless approach to sec though. at least when OLPC tried to secure linux, it was so good apple hired the dude who designed it)

Apparently there's a movie too, didn't know that until I looked up publishing date just now.
