Best keycaps

[taek]

I am happy to see both GMK Oblivion and SA Dasher nominated. These are the things I've waited for a long time.

Nominating GMK Terminal, can't get enough it it !

Great looking set!
(the matting pad is weird though. What shell is that, allowing to take host as argument for switching to root and asking password for host as it was the login? Doesn't make sense for me.)

it is weird but su can be used to login as another user than root. Sudoing it elevates it to force logging in to such account without knowing the root or tkc password. However the password prompt should ask for main its password and not tkc. ;p

lol xD
That is an interesting keycap post.

Didn't know that I (possibly) can su into another account with just sudo, I just do such thing as root, perhaps I don't have so much criminal mindset.
Right, why it is asking for tkc, but not the password for main? Smart packaging design, but not enough attention to details. Just for this, I will reconsider if I should vote for GMK Terminal.

Yes impersonating by sudoers
I was considering it living it's own life!

Menuhin, you have a criminal mindset if you do all through root
note: if you are root no need to sudo, su - <username> is enough.

su stands for " substitute user" not super user or anything like that .

you can switch to any account no matter what it is . So i could say switch user to somone i don't like , send a nasty email to the HR department and then switch back to my sysadmin account and delete the su log .

sudo however is super user do , as in run this command as an elevated user account

Yeah pretty much what I hoped I explained . But you don't have to login to another user to send an email adres from someone else their email address ;D. any open SMTP server is enough to spoof without any validation.

[andrewjoy]

yeh but you dont want to spoof it , you want the sent item in the user folder for later when you investigate them

The thing is it should ask for the password for 'main' and then show 'tkc@tkc:~$'.

[Menuhin]

Menuhin, you have a criminal mindset if you do all through root
note: if you are root no need to sudo, su - <username> is enough.

Explosion of IT tricks to throw pranks here...

To do all through root, is just tidy-er, everything in tidy order.

[__red__]

sudo however is super user do , as in run this command as an elevated user account

sudo -u username -s # Switch to an unpriv user.

What sudo gives you is the ability to:
* Not have to share a single root password between all admins (ie, the root password)
* Provide the ability to allow access to specific user and command combinations by user or group.

For example, I may give users in my oracle group the ability to run /etc/init.d/oracle as root.

Hint, don't give anyone sudo access to vi, they'll just !sh

[__red__]

Also, now I've seen the example above let's talk about why you do sudo su - username

su username
and
su - username

are different.

In the former, you retain the environment of your original user. In the later, you start with a clean environment populated by that user's environment.

For example - if you're user 'red' and you su bob
red@foo /home/red $ su bob
Password:
bob@foo /home/red $ cd
bob@foo /home/red $

Note, your current working directory doesn't change, not does your home directory change to bob's home directory (as can be seen by the cd with no args)

On the other hand, if you su - bob
red@foo /home/red $ su - bob
Password:
bob@foo /home/bob $

The reason for the sudo su - bob is that I can then change to the bob user using MY password, not bob's.

If you do sudo -u bob -s, it works the same way as su bob with the broken environment.

always use su -

EVERY SINGLE TIME

[mecano]

As they said or before we dig deeper
'man man'

To do all through root, is just tidy-er, everything in tidy order.

sure like in
cd /
rm -r *

won't give you the same result as
rm -r *
cd /

[depletedvespene]

always use su -

EVERY SINGLE TIME

Even more so, use aliases for the accounts you regularly access in this manner. This is what I've got on my .bashrc:

Code: Select all

alias sug="su - mod-cga"
alias suf="su - feriados"
alias sue="su - excusas"
alias suc="su - contador"

That way, I 1) type less characters ; 2) never forget the hyphen.

Before we do anything we should w first, or even 'finger' individual users.
It will just make the real moves later smoother without unexpected resistance.

[NecromanX]

I like where this is going but I am so confused.

You think you're confused.

The author of systemd didn't understand the difference between 'su' and 'su -' so created a whole systemd shell to "fix" su's problem :vomit:

[TuxKey]

was looking at this post .. And after a long day of wrestling with "samba shares",iscsi problems, and other chit on my linux test lab i came here to unwind... and what do my eyes see messages about sudo and sudoers hahaha ..don't have the energy to read it all.. this Linux sysadmin is beat..

The best Keycaps got me looking around.. And there was one set i really liked a while back..
A set that got me thinking /hoping that we Topre users could possibly see more sets in the future for topre boards.
And that was the Custom Topre Keycap Set run by MD a while back.

Spoiler:

topre colors

My second set would be the caps sold by WideBasket for topre boards. i like the blue set.

i also really really like what Leopold is doing with the new keycaps for their keyboards.
The Leopold FC660M PD Blue Grey looks absolutely beautiful..
Mykeyboard.eu should try to get sets of these ... blue for me and a nice pink one for my girl so i can get here on a nice Leopold with mx-browns.

Great reading, thanks andrew! and explains why the people I worked with a couple of decennies ago always sent me to the op for their troubles

This set never made it, it only exists as a render

[Phenix]

I nominate
SA carbon by tomb3ry: imho grey and orange pair fantastic. Also the OG novelty’s are neat: the new dice/skull noveltys are mmkay but not to my liking,

The carbon set is really a classic creation, not only in its bolder novelty key.
Fire and matters: bright orange is the color of amber during burning, e.g. of wood, the burnt wood turned into charcoal which is in black color; when these pieces of charcoal gets further up in its temperature during its combustion, it turns into grey color.
These colors: bright orange, black / grey are all in the set, with its name "Carbon".

Perhaps the beige is the wood?

Well spoken :thumbs:

No problem, there are many other great nominations as well.. Camping is just really nice.
Imho it should go well with the new commando 88 SA set once it’s out.

[Menuhin]

My votes actually include Camping also.
Such an interesting theme - camping and clacking - almost opposite activities.

Really?
There are folks camping (virtually) to either get in a artisan or a Kustom GB..
