Hm, I don't see any fetishes in this blog post.

Sudo's -i option is able to provide you with a shell in the same state that it'd be if it were a fresh login. I've burned this into my fingers a long time ago. Also, in most configurations you have to specifically whitelist environment variables for them to surivive a "sudo" call.
Is there another way of opening a root shell other than "sudo -i"? That's what I've been using for a decade. How do other people do it?
`sudo su` is a way.

#264“ has no pronounceable name in English or any other speakable human language.” I’m in love with this because it’s so silly. I’ve always wondered what would happen if you gave a company an unpronounceable name and it took off. My guess is that the community would name it and that would be that. But I’m fascinated to witness that process happen. I really hope Sado takes off. ;)
Just look at what happened to Prince.
I had to google him - he died from it?! WTF!!

#265I just always login as root. No sudo or other programs needed, no security vulnerabilities, no complexity. Clearly the most secure solution as it's widely known that using the setuid bit is a security problem.
Maybe not for yourself, but sudo can be a benefit when playing with others: fine grained roles and permissions, audit trail, etc.

#266I mean clearly this is all quite tongue in cheek but: > It's also debatable if the entire concept of privilege separation as implemented in Linux and UNIX was a bad idea to begin with but we're stuck with it because of an endless ball of legacy programs controlled by egotistical open source people that refuse to change […] Not a very charitable way to describe volunteers who don’t want to learn the flavor-of-the-mont…
Odd that you left off the rest of that quote ("...because then obscure targets that nobody uses won't be able to leech off of the rest of the ecosystem by holding back any chance to let us have a modicum of nice things") which links to: https://lwn.net/Articles/845535/ > Maybe if there were some folks who knew rust and were interested in doing this kind of work In this specific example, "this kind of work" would invo…
That it is not very rewarding seems like a much more synpathetic and likely reason than egotism.

#267Some people probably hate it, but I really enjoy the conversational format of these posts. Very novel and interesting way to bounce around a topic
Thanks! That's exactly the point of it! I'm going to be working on the CSS this weekend on stream (the images being so big for longer conversations take up too much screen real estate), but in general the idea is to have a combination of the Socratic method of dialogue based teaching combined with a few consistently written characters; not to mention it helps move out parentheticals to break up giant walls of text. I…
If you're going to be working on CSS anyways, I noticed that the tables on the pronoun page could use a little bit of padding—the text is touching the table borders (https://vgel.me/imgshare/xe-pronouns-no-padding.png)

I think the website is excellent, and it’s a joy every time I see Xe’s posts here or anywhere. If you don’t like the way it’s presented, but you do sincerely want more information on the topic it presents, there is a vast (world wide!) web full of information. Surely you’ll have better luck finding it if you look for it rather, than spending that time trashing something that isn’t your cup of tea.
If you configure your content blocker to hide the picture element, all the furries go away.

And let's ask ourselves what exactly prompts folks to need to comment their disdain for only certain types of articles and not the countless dozens of others they filter through regularly. We'll never know!
