Reminds me of software saying to put your docker socket into the docker container you are starting for convenience.
Reminds me of all of those vendors that require Windows Admin for no reason.
Looking at you quickbooks network shares…
I’m in jail because I was not in the sudoer file
then at first day of work:
just use sudo su, we don’t have all day here.
sudo steam
Tell me you use Ubuntu without telling me you use Ubuntu.
Wait till you try this on Debian or non Ubuntu variants.
Sometimes your package manager asks you for root password every minute while doing few hours long update and cancelling process if 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
sudo visudoAt the end:
Defaults:USER timestamp_timeout=30USER is obviously changed to your username.
Thank you
If I remember correctly the default sudo timeout is set to 5 minutes on Yay, you should be able to increase it to something more reasonable
Thank you

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
Come on! I’ve stopped logging on as root, can’t we just leave it at that?
Wasn’t it 2017 where they had the race condition in
sudo suas the command elevates up to root and drops back down?Every other year,
sudo suwas not unsafe but merely ghetto. ‘sudo su’ is the dutch-rudder of ‘sudo’.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.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.
Goodbye ssh access
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.
You don’t need to
Nah, there’s something broken, I think it’s because group render under the container has a different GID than the container so the acl fails and you either sudo or chmod.
Lxc is still a little wobbly in places.
from the chmod or from the containers?
From the chmod, I love running games and shit under containers.
Can’t programs steal sudo access if the timeout isn’t 0?
Guilty as charged, officer.
I get tired of typing the same command twice.
helenslunch doesn’t know about
sudo !!
Not even arrow keys
