I've always pronounced sudo the same way that the sudo part of sudowoodo is pronounced. I actually used to think it was an obscure Pokemon reference when I first started using Linux but both Linux and sudo itself Predate Pokemon.

Z-shell sue doe S.S.H
There is entirely too much dough in this thread (/j).
I pronounce it staccato:
s'ΓΊ . d'Γ³
ZzzzzZZzzsh
Sue-do
Ass-ass-hate
- "zish" so it doesn't sound like "sheesh"
- ess ess aych
- sue-dough
Only correct answer is whatever theprimeagen says
Ok, thanks for the info GayHitler420 π«‘
Just out of curiosity, are there 419 other gay Hitlers out there, or is that just a weed reference? 'Cause I don't know if I could deal with that many gay Hitlers running around.
I mean, just to be clear, it's the Hitler part and not the gay part that bothers me. And the weed part is cool with me too, but it would be hard to be a Hitler if you're just chillin on weed every day.
It would be extremely difficult to conquer the Sudetenland if you had the munchies constantly.
Man, don't worry I'm changed man. Now I'm conquering countries in my head while I'm high from 20 kg of weed and 2 tons of pure medical cocaine.
Good for you, GayHitler, good for you
Zee shell, soo-doo, S-S-H.
Having no idea what they mean, I'd go with a direct phonetic pronunciation:
- zsh = zish or zΔsh
- shh = shh, sh, or Κ
- sudo = sΓΌ-dΕ or sue-dough
All of these, so far as I know, either are or evolved from Unix tools.
zsh is short for "z shell." A shell is a way to interact with a system via text - a command line interface. There are many including sh (shell), bash (Bourne again shell), fish (no idea what it stands for if anything) and others. I pronounce "zsh" as "zee shell."
ssh is short for "secure shell," a way to access systems remotely that replaced unencrypted remote access methods (hence "secure"). I pronounce this as "ess ess aitch." The last symbol you used looks like a calculus symbol to me.
sudo, depending on whom you ask, could stand for one of a few things; it was preceded by a command called "su" which stood for "super user" or "switch user" because it allowed you to imitate a user other than your own (super user being a user who has few or no permissions restrictions on a system). "sudo" is generally considered to be short for "su do" (whatever you consider "su" to mean) (ie, switch user and do or become super user and do).. I pronounce this one as "pseudo" but I didn't know what it meant when I first learned it. If I had, it's not impossible that I would pronounce it differently.
Caveat: I'm an experienced Linux user, but not an expert. All of the above is generally accurate but I suspect there are many lemmy users who would contest the details.
Hope this information helps!
edit: forgot that it was "fish," not "Phish."
How about kubectl?
