Could you not just use root to give your user sudo? Seems like a pretty dumb restriction

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 3 months ago

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

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Not so small where I work... 800+ employees.

[-] flashgnash@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

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

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

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.
