Let Sudo Insult You When You Screw Up:-


I recently found a fun feature available within the sudo program that will insult you when you do the wrong thing such as enter your password incorrectly. I’ll tell you how you can activate the feature for a few laughs and also give a few examples of what insults you might get.
To turn the feature on you’ll need to use the following command:sudo visudo (always use visudo when you need to edit your sudoers file as it has a self-check system that won’t let you screw it up.)
Find the line that begins with Default and append insults to the end. (Any addition to that line is comma separated.) Your entry will then look like this:Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn,insults Save the file and you’ll notice the next time you screw up your sudo password you’ll get an insult.
Note: to clear your sudo session and be required to enter the password again try:sudo -K A few examples below:Maybe if you used more than just two fingers…
I have been called worse.
Listen, burrito brains, I don’t have time to listen to this trash.
Good luck!

Gnome easter eggs from same source(ya most knows already?)

A Few Gnome Easter Eggs…


Hey you! Hit ALT-F2 in your gnome desktop and type ‘free the fish’.
Trust me.
It’s ok. It won’t break your machine. I promise. C’mon!
Now you’ve got company on your desktop with Wanda the fish. Try clicking on Wanda and see what happens. Cool little easter egg in gnome there.
…or try ALT-F2 and use ‘gegls from outer space’ for a bit of gnome gaming fun.
Thought you all might enjoy that. Better go, Wanda is chasing my cursor right now and don’t want her to catch up.
