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.
Could you not just use root to give your user sudo? Seems like a pretty dumb restriction
Possibly but my role was such Im really only supposed to be working on my project and not monkey with the server which is used by other projects. I don't think it was a restriction I think it was just laziness by whoever set it up.
Fair enough. Got a colleague who sudo nanos everything then wonders why he keeps getting permission denied errors later lol
...file in
~/.config...-
sudo nano /path/to/file... yeah, I wanna fucking save changes... OK, let's see if it works... damn it, this distro fucking sucks man!Worst part is he's the sysadmin
Jesus 🤦...
And this is why I never get bonuses. I just can't be bothered with kissing upper management ass... tried it once... I walked out of the meeting with me telling them "less talking, more doing"... no one from upper management called me ever again. Even if they did have a computer problem, they just told the secretary to call me.
Oh god no not upper management lol we're just in a small company
Not so small where I work... 800+ employees.
I need to try working for a larger place have only worked for small ones so far
From what I hear it's really nice actually having people who can help when you're struggling lol
It's challenging, big place, big problems. Managing the whole thing is the hard part, especially when you're on a budget.
But, to be honest, that's about it. It's getting boring for me after 5 years there. I was thinking about quitting and moving abroad.
