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 🤷.
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 😏.
I’m partial to sudo bash myself 👌
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…
Use Sudo -i instead. Sudo su is like cat file | grep pattern vs grep pattern file. You’re wasting resources.
then at first day of work:
just use sudo su, we don’t have all day here.
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
sudo rm -rf /* what could go wrong? (don’t try it)
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.
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
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.
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.
Why does
sudo suexist?sudo -idoes exactly what you want.It’s much easier to type sudo su 😅
sudo -sfor auditabilitysudo !!:p
