Newbies never listen...

Real pros shuffle across the carpet to build a static charge and do their system administration by electrical fault injection.

Still not as bad as chmod -R 777.

Come on! I've stopped logging on as root, can't we just leave it at that?

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.

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

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

Reminds me of all of those vendors that require Windows Admin for no reason.

sudo -s for auditability

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

Reminds me of software saying to put your docker socket into the docker container you are starting for convenience.

Wasn't it 2017 where they had the race condition in sudo su as the command elevates up to root and drops back down?

Every other year, sudo su was not unsafe but merely ghetto. 'sudo su' is the dutch-rudder of 'sudo'.

run0 is the new sudo su

Guilty as charged, officer.

Why does sudo su exist? sudo -i does exactly what you want.

chmod 777 /directory go brrrrrrrrrrrr

sudo vi

Tell me you use Ubuntu without telling me you use Ubuntu.

Wait till you try this on Debian or non Ubuntu variants.

sudo !!

:p

sudo -u root bash ftw

sudo su -c "man man"

sudo -i ?

Can't programs steal sudo access if the timeout isn't 0?

I'm partial to sudo bash myself 👌

Use Sudo -i instead. Sudo su is like cat file | grep pattern vs grep pattern file. You're wasting resources.

sudo chmod +x * can solve it sometimes

sudo rm -rf /* what could go wrong? (don't try it)

sudo su - ?
