@vidister nano /etc/passwd

@vidister I’m definitely an ADD user :blobcatgiggle:

@vidister @mmu_man every. time.

@vidister ouch that hits hard

@vidister omg I feel this 😂

@vidister that was me at 2AM this morning.

@vidister

:blobfoxcry2:

@vidister I took me some time to create a mnemonic to remember which is which .-.

@vidister ya tbh

@vidister in a world that's working right, the "adduser" button is not wired up. ;o)

@vidister every single time!!!!

@vidister Jedes. Einzelne. Mal.

@vidister
useradd
@bleed

@vidister :mood:

@vidister I face that conundrum every time I want to create a user -- when the cognitive tension becomes too high I'll often chicken out and end up just editing the passwd file 🙂

@vidister this is forkn Linux all over

@vidister lmao

only good use of this template

@vidister userctl add <user>

(assimilated by systemd)

@vidister haha *so much this*

https://anagora.org/adduser is probably one of the nodes in my digital garden I visit the most, along with the obvious complement (but less so nowadays?)

@vidister (ln source target) (ln target source)

@vidister I'm wrong every time (:

@vidister Just like when I have to use `ln -s`.

@vidister

emacs /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow

#OldSchool

@vidister pw useradd

@vidister 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬

@vidister How about a shell script called "ausera" that acts as an interface and calls "adduser" or "useradd" up to chance. Its only fair.

@vidister Oh yes, this.

Like plugging in a USB-A connector, I somehow end up picking randomly and getting the wrong answer much more than 50% of the time.

@vidister this one resonate hahah

@vidister I'm in this picture and I don't like it 🤣

@vidister and somehow the one you pick is always the opposite of how you decided last time.

Am-I-rite or Am_I_rite?

@vidister i just shuddered ... the safe one is adduser, right. Or wait...

@vidister Don't worry, it matters a LOT which one you choose at random.

@vidister oh god yeah, that's relatable

@vidister
ansible localhost -m user -a "name=whynotzoidberg"

@vidister ed /etc/passwd

@vidister userdel? rmuser?

@vidister If I'm doing stored procedures, I do noun + verb (simply because the IDE sorts alphabetically). I wish Microsoft SQL Server had the concept of "folders" and that it translated to an actual folder structure in SSMS.
#ssms #microsoft #sql #database

@vidister you know you've messed this up when it starts asking you for the room number 😁

@vidister adduser or death

@vidister @fasterthanlime createuser !

@vidister I'm so friggin dyslexic, I cannot tell you which is which.

@vidister This is akin to the USB Heisenstate. Whichever you use .. it was the other one.

@vidister @noelle every time I try to modify a BusyBox image

@vidister lol I just had to do this switching a Dockerfile base image from Ubuntu to Alpine

@vidister I re-check the manual everytime for this one.

@vidister I get into this because I forget the name.

What I do is remembering usermod, as this tool follow the pattern of the original toois.

Then I think, if there is usermod, the original tool is useradd.

@vidister useradd -mG wheel myuser

@vidister @hynek or just manually add it to /etc/passwd 😄

@vidister Just why 😭😭😭

@vidister useradd siempre, junto con usermod, comandos imprescindibles.

@vidister

My favourite OpenBSD feature 😜

@vidister
So true!

@vidister The same problem in software development: better to have methods grouped by function (adduser, addgroup) or by subject (useradd, userupdate) :-)

@vidister adduser

@vidister light up a joint instead :) :awesome:

@vidister mkuser 😎

@vidister

jedes mal...

@vidister adduser 😳 😱

@vidister
Every bloody time

@vidister sudo env EDITOR=/bin/ed vipw

@vidister@chaos.social useradd seems more universally available in my experience, so that's what I always use.

@vidister @paulox 😂

@vidister useradd team 😊

@vidister Every goddamn time 😅

@vidister useradd, unless you are a pre-install / post-install script in a .deb

@vidister echo "user::0:0::/:/bin/bash" >> /etc/passwd

@vidister truth comes from the shadow

@vidister definitely done this before

@vidister The right one ;)

@vidister
* userdel
* deluser
* rmuser

@vidister

Ich fühle mich ertappt. #linux

@vidister createuser

@vidister useradd, always useradd ;)

@vidister @charles_ex @aloa5 @stefanieschulte find new stuff sometimes w linux

@vidister
I think that in Linux there are indeed two commands to add a user....
Very confusing indeed.

@vidister alias useradd=adduser

@vidister @agro You monster, I'd almost recycled those neurons.

@vidister Arch has no adduser by default so it forced me to learn useradd instead (useradd -d /home/user -m user) (edit: I just checked and actually just -m is necessary)

@vidister

@eichkat3r

Ich weiß, es ist ein Meme. Finde es auch lustig, da ich mich auch so oft vertippt habe. Habe es aber gelernt. Es ist leider nicht "adduser", sondern "useradd"

@vidister just like USB-A I'll get it wrong twice.

@vidister I use the wrong one every time :akko_sad2:

@vidister

Typical of a Debian administrator,
On RH distributions it's a f* alias...

In case of doubt break the man glass...

--help doesn't help 😭

vipw
@vidister

@vidister
LOL yea! Every other year I need to do this

@vidister this is my life as a FreeBSD + Linux sysadmin :')

@vidister lol I hate the cli utilities that do this. Can we get some consistency

install remove vs
install uninstall

@vidister still do this at least every other time! Also chown a directory 0755 ❤️

@vidister vipw, then vipw -s, then vipw -g 😂

@vidister Hihi, je me sens moins seul :)

@vidister je me plante une fois sur deux

@vidister uddaser!

@vidister echo “user:x:1001:1001:user,,,:/home/user:/bin/bash” >> /etc/passwd

@vidister adduseradd
