Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Doesn't really make sense in the context of windows tbh

    sudo = "superuser do"

    They should have made it NT-ASdo for "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM do"

    Except it should actually be a powershell module so you have to type out the whole thing as NT-AuthoritySystem-Do

    ^/s^

    But it needs to be a verb like get set do

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    Do-As "NT Authority/System"

    Have to quote it in too... since there's a space.

    [–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Probably something more like "Invoke-Command -AsAdmin"

    Which would be aliased to sudo

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    That's what I wxpect. But with one more layer. In the end it's going to be system32/elevator.exe which is called by Invoke-Elevation in ps which is aliased to sudo.

    It's supposed to be available in cmd and batch so it must be callable directly

    I was more postulating what they probably would do if it were implemented directly in PowerShell

    But, as it turns out, it's just sudo.exe in the command path

    Wait, is sudo pronounced su du then?

    [–] Jeom 22 points 9 months ago (2 children)

    yeah but it sounds dumb so im never gonna say it correctly

    [–] Chriswild 11 points 9 months ago

    Sounds like Scooby Doo's lost cousin Sue Doo

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

    Gonna pronounce it all the way like a french for the rest of my life

    no, never has been. it's pronounced like pseudo.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    i pronounce "su du" and pseudo the same way

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

    you anarchist!

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

    You have a /s but I wouldn't be surprised if it had a really long syntax
