  • You are the superuser, telling the computer to do the restricted action in a privileged state. For example maybe there’s a read-only file you want to delete; is you just type rm <directory> it would tell you access denied, if you use sudo rm <directory> you get what you want.

    So in your username, it really just depends on if whoever is reading it thinks you’re the user, or the computer. I personally didn’t read it from any particular perspective, I just thought it was referencing the joke command with no target in particular.















  • I’m still a PC player through and through, but I will say that the game subscriptions that give you access to AAA games (albeit sometimes a bit after launch) is pretty enticing. Obviously you get better sales and whatnot through Steam, but not having to shell out 50-70 dollars for a new game is pretty cool.



  • I’ll offer a counterpoint. If this is your first printer, don’t build it from a kit. Most printers will require some assembly, and that’s totally fine, but if you have no experience with 3d printers (and likely anything similar in size or technical requirements), it’s going to be way too easy to make some small mistake that results in days of diagnosing where you went wrong.

    My advice would be to find a decent mid-range printer, and if you really wanna dive deep in to the hobby, build or buy a big fancy second one later. I’m still rocking my $150 Neptune 3 from like 3 years ago, I’ve thought about upgrading but haven’t really needed to.
