#gnu — Public Fediverse posts

maybe it's the three components each with three letters? and each of those three-letter words feels…canonical? atomic? potent? fun? #bob #gnu #org

Interesting results, it seems there isn't a universally approved answer.

I was completely unaware that people used /sbin/nologin for this, probably because I just looked at what Ubuntu does and copied that.

To the people that use nologin as root shell, how do you deal with the inability to use "sudo su", "sudo -s" or "sudo -i" to spawn a root shell? Do you just never do that, using "sudo" for everything, or do you launch the shell with "sudo bash" or even "sudo bash -l"?

The last time I played and Heroes of Might and Magic was the 5th in the serie. Now I 've seen the Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete in #GOG off sale and I hit instantanely to buy.

In my house, the windows... cof cof I mean the operating system do not exist, only exists #Gnu/Linux.

And probably you are wondering, if you have #Linux how do you will play #HoMM3 on Linux?

Here is when #VCMI enter in the battlefront. Thanks to the developers I can play HoMM3 on Linux without install #Wine or #Windows.

I've just play a little bit and the #game runs like a charm.

Kudos for them!!!

You use AI to make an ocean wave generator in HTML, CSS and JS.

I use AI to clean up my project's Sphinx documentation so it generates a proper Texinfo file for GNU Info and can be read offline in a terminal.

We are not the same.

Root access granted: GNU, the system most people call Linux

What GNU is and why it isn't Linux: a printer at MIT, a 1983 Usenet post, the GPL, GCC and Bash, a kernel that never got finished, and a Finnish student who filled the gap. Plus the GNU/Linux naming fight and a few curiosities.

What is the correct way of locking the root account on linux? By that I mean making it unreachable from login, su and sshd. Sudo would still be allowed to use it.

A friend was using a solution I wasn't familiar with and it threw me for a bit of a spin, I wonder what fedi thinks.

Comments explaining the rationale are welcome.
