Hey friends, I’m trying to think of a new root password, what do y’all use?
@Lumb what root password? i just login as a user in the sudoers file and that gives me all the root i need.
@frinkeldoodle @Lumb i'm really not good at linux so my root password is just the same as my main user one which i know is probably A Big Nono
@Lumb w-what whyyyyy
@doe
No reason what’re you talking about.
@Lumb you know my masto password isn't my computer one lol
@doe
Good, smort.

@doe @Lumb I mean, honestly the optimal approach is to disable root login and use sudo to run root-level commands or start a new shell as root
but honestly? if it's your home computer, you're the only one with access to it, your firewall is set up properly and you're not running anything like an ssh server, you're probably OK? Like it could be better but you're not putting yourself in imminent risk of anything beyond exploits and the like AFAIK.
@doe @frinkeldoodle
Tell me what it is and create an alt on lamp pls.
