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.
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
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.
I use podman and since it runs as my user it has exactly same same permissions as me. I just add my user to the proper group and it works.
Anyway for LXC you could just passthough a folder and then create a file. From there you can look at the file on the host to see who owns it. That will give you the needed information to set permissions correctly
Ahh, I’m running priveleged containers, I wrote my own scripted framework for containers around lxc in mostly python.
Basically I fell head over heels in love with freebsd jails and wanted them on Linux, then started running x11 apps in them, it’s my heroin.
Haven’t used podman outside proper k8s for work, did proxmox for a bit, but it was just a webgui for the same thing.
There were a bunch of online bug reports about the /dev/dri issue, maybe there’s a better solution now, but since this is my workstation I wasn’t as worried about security.
from the chmod or from the containers?
From the chmod, I love running games and shit under containers.
sudo steam
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 😏.
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

See, this is why I love xbps. Does everything in one blow, no bullshit.
Man if only there was an option like --sudoloop to ensure that doesn’t happen
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”
And you give them the look and they shut up.
I’m in jail because I was not in the sudoer file
This incident was, in fact, reported.
Well, you were warned 🤷.
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
More like I come in to fix someone’s aging infrastructure and find a QuickBooks share with read/write everyone because people are too lazy to RTFM.
That’s the supported configuration. There support will not support anything else. It is total BS which makes sense because they want to silo you to the cloud
Then encrypt it…
Tell that to Intuit

sudo -sfor auditabilityOur 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
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’.Why does
sudo suexist?sudo -idoes exactly what you want.It’s much easier to type sudo su 😅

All five of them.
There are a few of us, but our 2nd gen i3s will eat the shit out of your 5th gen i5s 😁.
Reminds me of software saying to put your docker socket into the docker container you are starting for convenience.
Oh yeah, I’m docking the shit ot of that container!
