I mean… when you run a script do you really know if it will remove any file of your home directory unless you look at what it’s doing?

But Linux market share increases

it matters not xd

most of which are fixed before they are
known xd

if you use Linux, you’re probably savvy enough not to let those slide by

+ most of these get noticed very quick, and mitigated even quicker

this i wouldn’t assume tbh

Ok so not much to worry about ig and I guess this would be worse on windows and mac

but if anything you typically need just one rule on linux, don’t use sudo unless you know exactly what the program does

I accidentally was kicked into the “freezing of tasks failed wq_busy=0” nirvana with unsaved work, that is important (yes, silly me). I tried to switch the consoles with Ctrl+Alt+F1(-F6) with no success.

Any chance that I can switch back to the GUI to save my work?

Hi team,
Getting the below error message while trying to install postgresql 14.
Anyway it is possible to resolve the issue ? Could get that I should resolve the dependency of lz4 but looking for right steps for the same.
Was expecting this dependency to get resolved automatically during installation, but it dint happen.

Commands used for installation

To add the repo:
dnf install -y https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm

Then we ran this command….

dnf install postgresql14-server-14.5-1PGDG.rhel8.x86_64.rpm postgresql14-14.5-1PGDG.rhel8.x86_64.rpm postgresql14-libs-14.5-1PGDG.rhel8.x86_64.rpm

You’ll need to subscribe I think. One if the pains of red hat

Above installation is totally regarding installation of open source package. and as message shows system is registered to Red Hat Subscription Management

you’ve seen my Sebastião

now you can see my grandpa’s friendly crow

weird mix of words, but it’s true

coolest crow ever

doesn’t harm anyone, and even likes people petting him

heck, my bird got scared, and the crow could’ve attacked as he fell down

but nope, the crow got scared lmao

Aww

Don’t use sudo run any command unless you know exactly what the program does, or have a slightly good idea of it

without sudo, there should be very little a rouge program can do ;p

further more without the need for sudo, packages can be installed in home directory xd

I think his point is still very valid.

I mean… when you run a script do you really know if it will remove any file of your home directory unless you look at what it’s doing?

if its from some official website, I don’t look

No but it’s worse to delete the root directory than your own home one as an extreme example

Yeah but im talking about things that happen even without sudo

Still not best of practices

There is a reason for sudo)

As a regular user
