minus-squarenieceandtows@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up69arrow-down2·20 days agoYeah I only use sudo once, for the su.
minus-squareHawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up43·20 days ago… but why? “sudo -i” is a thing. Why get another program involved?
minus-squareSnot Flickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·20 days agoSome people just want to watch the world burn.
minus-squareexu@feditown.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·20 days agoI don’t think many people know about this feature
minus-squareCoyoteFacts@piefed.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·20 days agoPersonally it’s because my fingers are already on “s” and “u”.
minus-squarenieceandtows@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·20 days agoIt’s easier to just call su once and run every single command as root rather than having to randomly use sudo for some commands and not for others (/s if it’s not obvious)
minus-squareHawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·20 days agoBut you can do that without involving ‘su’.
minus-squareslothrop@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-220 days agoI don’t use sudo. Ever. It’s disabled by default in slackware, and I don’t know why it’s even there.
minus-squarenieceandtows@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·20 days agoTell me how you can run rm rf / no preserve root without su, I’m waiting.
minus-squareHawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·20 days agoIs this some kind of joke going over my head or something? Run “sudo -i” then run “rm -rf --no-preserve-root”
minus-squarenieceandtows@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·20 days agoYeah I’m just joking around. I pretty much never use su except in rare cases
minus-squarestupidcasey@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·20 days agoI just delete every user but root.
minus-squareMonkderVierte@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·19 days agoI’ve seen that piece, mostly in beginner instructions, for a root shell. But does it even make sense? Why run a elevated su? Just run su.
minus-squarenieceandtows@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·19 days agoI think some distros don’t expose or create a root password and make you do sudo su. I might be wrong.
