Oddbean new post about login | logout It is so cool, to just open a terminal and really be in Linux. And I have root on this machine! 🤩 Only ever used work stuff or my husband's stuff, so this is my first very own PC. Exciting.
Better be careful with the root access...
I actually know how to use computers, you know. I've just never had the opportunity.
I know that you know. Still it is tempting. Sudo is enough for the most cases though.
The only time I've used root was to set up new users on our project's remote server, and then I gave @finrod root access and backed away, slowly. Nobody died. 🤣
Not likely she'll rm -rf / by accident. 🤣
I hope you don't use it for OnlyFans
Anytime my computer starts talking shit because I forgot sudo https://files.sovbit.host/media/44dc1c2db9c3fbd7bee9257eceb52be3cf8c40baf7b63f46e56b58a131c74f0b/92ba56a92c2553b225ac26f1cd3b5b1442189fefb196e0a97868ff14360aef8a.webp
Bruh, install "bash-insulter"! Everyone needs to do this at least once
So funny/sad how easy it is to forget sudo 😂 like on nmap, why isnt this workingggg like i want it to?? Then remember and feel dumb, every. single. time.
It's kind of like me forgetting a semicolon when working on a database. 😂 Been doing this for a while now, and I still every now and then will forget a semicolon and get annoyed as to why my query's not working.
I should scale back my earlier suggestion. Try installing neofetch and then edit your terminal's config to launch the application each time you start it 😀 You can of course undo this if you prefer. It's a good minor exercise for a beginner.
Just setup SSH and the firewall.

Thank you, ma'am!
People, report spam, especially automated engagement farmers. My little project (and many others) run on your Kind 1984 reports!
cmatrix is a bit more fun than neofetch. 😀 Get comfortable with documentation. The first step is man pages. Try 'man neofetch' or 'man cmatrix' (once installed) and then try some custom commands.
Can't get cmatrix to run. Ncurses doesn't like my locale settings, or something.

Root access 😨? With great power comes great responsibility! (Still thinking if I should put this in ALL CAPS...)
