  • Height has basically nothing to do with it - it’s the accumulation of static charge in a conductor which produces the dielectric breakdown of air. Even though the human body is a relatively poor conductor, it is still a much better conductor than the ground itself. It makes no difference if your head is 6 feet above the ground or three feet above the ground - you will accumulate charge the same way.

    Also most strikes on people are not direct strikes, but people being close enough to to the primary plasma channel to provide another path to ground. The electric potential required to produce an arc from 5 feet away is orders of magnitude lower than it is from 3 miles up.

    SELinux isn’t really meant to be a user space “utility,” for lack of a better term. It’s meant to be an expert focused security framework for those with the expertise to both understand and implement robust security policies. Your average user daily driving Linux or even running a few self hosted services doesn’t really need complex security policies, and is definitely better served by some simpler tools.
