    Gives me Warhammer 40k vibes of the Cult Mechanicus, where they are so backwards and conservative with their culture, rather than learn and innovate, they prefer to worship tech as an unknowable knowledge given by God, anointing their computers with oils and prayers instead of actually fixing the issues.

      Whoever came up with the Mechanicus must have worked in IT/mechanics before because after 14 hours on what should have been a 10 minute fix, you start thinking the machine took one of your curses personally.

    Is that bishop Dziwisz? He once saved Cracow from a flood using magic bones. He packs some potent spells.

    Okay honest question, what does the # actually do? Every time I try and use it (fedora 42), it just doesn’t run

      # indicates a comment in shell scripts, it’s interpreted the same way on a command line. That’s why it’s doing nothing. In this case, the # isn’t part of the command though. It’s to indicate that it’s a root shell. You’d see $ for a regular not-root shell. It’s part of that bit of text with your username, hostname, and current directory (with most default shell configurations, look up the PS1 Bash variable) that comes before the command you’re typing.
