alias make_me_a_sandwich="sudo "

[–] Delilah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I just added this alias, maybe I'll remember it exists every once in a while

[–] sip@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I added "alias fucking=sudo" and I never remeber to use it :(

@sip @Delilah I have added please = sudo, using it since college days and that's the first thing I update on new system

[–] khleedril@cyberplace.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

@sip @Delilah Why would you? The alias is longer than the thing it replaces!
