Could be interesting, providing that you don't care about the state of the fetched mails 😅

I'm literally going to name my dog Sudo because of this. I mean, there's no one who would mind.

@rantOverflow By default, pi user on the Raspberry Pi doesn't have to type in a password when using sudo.
-
@rantOverflow And on any other machine, you have to input your password once per shell session. So you'll have to input it only once during your dog's lifetime.

bahua129157yAlso, it takes a very specific, definitely not default setting to make sudo require root's password, instead of your own.

@rantOverflow exactly how it works. I tell the dog to go outside. It runs to the wife to see if she really has to go outside.
-
@rantOverflow Well, that's just hibernating, after resuming, the shell is still open

I'm a Linux sysadmin, and I have never encountered a distribution that sets sudo to require root's password by default. I've only seen it as a customization in large corporate environments, seemingly as a deterrent against using sudo. But it's a terrible idea, as sudo lets you just store a password in plain text and call the file with a flag to sudo, so the result of that was a bunch of users storing the root password in plain text. -
@rantOverflow thank you sir for the RCA. Poor internal controls. I specialize in IT security controls. Give me a call.

@Totchinuko formatting a dog is as simple as giving it a lot of food and waiting until it's 32 years old.....
