I think Trump should be buried next to his first wife, with all the decorum he showed her.

The house will appreciate more than the mortgage interest. It's debt, but not bad debt.

That's a pretty big advantage actually. Thanks!

So it opens the file in your editor, since you have read access to it. Then saves your changes to a temp file. Then when you close the editor it does a sudo mv tmpfile readfile?

I checked this by checking the file ownership when running touch myself. The file is owned by root. sudo nano myself also creates a file owned by root. sudoedit myself bitches at me not to run it in a writable directory.

sudoedit: myself: editing files in a writable directory is not permitted

So I ran it in a non-writable directory and the resulting file is still owned by root.

So is the advantage of sudoedit preventing a possible escalation of privileges situation?

Why memorize a different command? I assume sudoedit just looks up the system's EDITOR environment variable and uses that. Is there any other benefit?

I did this with my garage door the other day. The thing squealed like crazy since we bought the house and I didn't really know how to fix it. Got some White Lithium Grease and just sprayed it into all of the hinges, greased the top rail and tightened the chain. I just love that I don't have to cringe every time I'm about to press the button to open the door.

Of you want to kill someone, just use a car and say it was an accident. All will be forgiven as long as you weren't road raging or drinking beforehand.

Too busy with protesting Tesla. 🙄
