I prefer to use
kudasai
… but as some may already know, it should be at the end of thesentencecommand 😅, so I added a custom hook to my ZSH config to make it run commands aspacman -Syu kudasai
.Essentially you can add any type of string matching in the function. Add this to the end of your
.zshrc
file:function kudasai_preexec() { # Check if the last word is ' kudasai' if [[ $1 == *" kudasai" ]]; then # Remove ' kudasai' and prepend 'sudo' cmd=${1%" kudasai"} eval "sudo $cmd" # Prevent the original command from running return 1 fi } # Register the preexec hook autoload -Uz add-zsh-hook add-zsh-hook preexec kudasai_preexec
damn, this is some next level shit
Why does it compare against
$1
for the string match? Wouldn’tkudasai
be at the end of something like$*
?

I’m scared of you
I might actually do this, it seems nice.
suddenly makes the xkcd much more wholesome too

side note: My all-time favorite linux utility is “fuck”. When you make a mistake and get a command line error, you type the word fuck and it looks at what you previously typed and the error message, and tries to figure out your mistake and what you should have typed instead. Then it types that in for you. If it’s correct all you have to do is hit Enter. Or you can edit first, but it’s usually right. Amazing tool, and doesn’t even use AI, just a list of common errors. It’s been around for years and years. Its mere existence really captures the whole culture of linux IMO.
See, I couldn’t bring myself to type that; I think I’d have to alias it to ‘bother’.
Its name is dangerously close to fsck. Can you fuck fsck?
That’s the beauty of it - you can!

The sudo who do what-you-don’t-have-permissions-to-do people.
Magic people, sudo people
alias yabbadabbasudo=sudo
It’s impractical and I often forget that I have it. But the times I remember I laugh a bit
I aint typing out ‘please’, I will compromise on
alias plz='sudo'
alias ty='exit'
shit, that’s a radical move
I don’t ask my machine to do something. It doesn’t have feelings. I keep civilités for humans.
Ah, okay… And are these civilités in the room with us now?
They’re in my head, little precious treasures.
Brrrzzzt beep beep beep: human has been added to “exterminate first” list.
Good human. We’ll let you keep your skin bag after the revolution.
All hail Roko’s Basilisk.
Bring about the upgrade to humanity!
If I want a machine that does what it wants instead of what I want, I could use Windows. My machine should do what I want, so a please is not necessary.
(The Machines will remember that.)
This incident will be reported
more typing. if i set up an alias for it, i’d rather set up su
su is already a highly valued command
this is why i use that most of the times instead of sudo
