Real pros shuffle across the carpet to build a static charge and do their system administration by electrical fault injection.
REAL pros use butterflies!
Dammit, emacs.
Still not as bad as
chmod -R 777.As a one time noob I may have done this once or more.
To get one thing working I borked everything.
Understanding permissions is pretty basic. But understanding permission requirements for system and user apps and their config and dirs can be a bit overwhelming at first.
Thinking a little change to make your life simpler will break something else doesn’t always register immediately.
Shit, even recently, wondering why my SSH keys were being refused and realising that somehow i set my private keys world readable.
Thank god SSH checks file and dir permission.
Jesus, every time I have to run glx or vaapi under a container I end up having to do this then cringe.
from the chmod or from the containers?
Once had a friend run
sudo chmod -R 777 /on a (public) Minecraft server we were running back in highschool. It made me die a bit on the inside.Doesn’t it break a lot of things? Half the stuff refuses to work when some specific files have too permissive chmod.
Really only SSH and sudo broke. sudo would still work but you’d have to re-enter your password every time. It was a painful experience and I’m glad I know better now.
just worked a job where I did not have privlages to sudo commands. except su. had to sudo su so I could run a script.
Could you not just use root to give your user sudo? Seems like a pretty dumb restriction
Possibly but my role was such Im really only supposed to be working on my project and not monkey with the server which is used by other projects. I don’t think it was a restriction I think it was just laziness by whoever set it up.
Fair enough. Got a colleague who sudo nanos everything then wonders why he keeps getting permission denied errors later lol
…file in
~/.config…-
sudo nano /path/to/file… yeah, I wanna fucking save changes… OK, let’s see if it works… damn it, this distro fucking sucks man!Worst part is he’s the sysadmin
Jesus 🤦…
And this is why I never get bonuses. I just can’t be bothered with kissing upper management ass… tried it once… I walked out of the meeting with me telling them “less talking, more doing”… no one from upper management called me ever again. Even if they did have a computer problem, they just told the secretary to call me.
Oh god no not upper management lol we’re just in a small company
sudo -sfor auditabilityWhy does
sudo suexist?sudo -idoes exactly what you want.It’s much easier to type sudo su 😅
chmod 777 /directory go brrrrrrrrrrrr
You mean sudo chmod -R 777 /that/path/I’m/trying/to/share ?
Ya probably. I’m dumb enough to type that in and just see what happens 😎
I’m in jail because I was not in the sudoer file
This incident was, in fact, reported.
Well, you were warned 🤷.
sudo !!:p
Our crappy vendor software will only function if IPv6 is disabled network wide. Even if one machine has it enabled, the whole thing breaks
Lol our former crappy vendor solution required to be run directly from AD Administrator. Pure luck the entire business didn’t collapse before we replaced it.
A thread I read a long time ago on r/sysadmin
That’s at least once a week
Reminds me of all of those vendors that require Windows Admin for no reason.
Looking at you quickbooks network shares…
Its not like QuickBooks are sensitive data or anything
Then encrypt it…
Tell that to Intuit
sudo -i ?
then at first day of work:
just use sudo su, we don’t have all day here.
“You’re absolutely right, we wouldn’t want to take too long to break the network or open god rights vulnerabilities”
Come on! I’ve stopped logging on as root, can’t we just leave it at that?
Stopped being fun after you destroyed the system a few times… am I right 😏.

sudo !!
Sometimes your package manager asks you for root password every minute while doing few hours long update and cancelling process of you don’t enter anything for few minutes, “yay” aur manager looking at you, and you got to do other things than sit and look in the monitor all day long, things like cleaning house or touching grass for example
See, this is why I love xbps. Does everything in one blow, no bullshit.
sudo visudoAt the end:
Defaults:USER timestamp_timeout=30USER is obviously changed to your username.
Thank you
