Open and the right to repair and modify

The right to repair the hardware we purchase is as basic and important as the right to see and modify the code for the open source software we use. One vendor has embraced that with a passion. System76 of Denver, Colorado, builds a complete line of repairable desktops and laptops. They’re also in the process of designing a new laptop that uses components that can be upgraded as well as repaired.

Real SysAdmins don’t sudo – Book excerpt

I was just reading a very interesting article that contained some good information about a Linux feature that I want to learn about.

The reason I found this article so cringe-worthy is that it prefaced every command with the sudo command. The issue I have with this is that the article is allegedly for SysAdmins and real SysAdmins don’t use sudo in front of every command they issue. This is a gross misuse of the sudo command and I have written about this type of misuse in my book, “The Linux Philosophy for SysAdmins.”
