The first command would cause spectacular disasters with ships sinking, off-shore generators short-circuiting and underwater cables failing.

Not so sure about cancer patients suddenly getting holes in their bodies too.

The last module probably was disabled for a reason too.

This is all too familiar - people get admin privileges and first thing they do they try to optimize by deleting "unnecessary parts" and enable settings they have no idea about.

Do? I'd explore. I'd learn. I'd figure how things are put together. Then I'd consider creating and customizing a new user account to experiment in non-destructively. Maybe write an application to communicate with equivalent intelligences in the universe. Hello Universe!

First of all I'd realize that I needn't use sudo. Because I am root. Then I'd start thinking of a better witticism.

@Richard I think we already are the test system. The target system is somewhere else.

@Murkas Wylander

Why does God need sudo???


Because it was so on StackOverflow. When you have to deploy to production in seven days you can't be too picky what to copy-paste.

modprobe -r twelve-months-31-30-28  
echo "thirteen-months-28plus1" | tee /etc/modules-load.d/thirteen-months-28plus1.conf

Because we do not need 12 months but 13
28 × 13 = 364 + 1 = 365

@Josef: Here's the thing - I'm an insignificant self-aware assembly of meat. Metaphorically, my ignorance bends my head to the ground in permanent supplication.

I absolutely do not rate God privileges. However, given the opportunity, hell yeah I'm going to try and figure out how it works because that's the kind of meat I am. So, if the pursuit leads me to another system then away we go. "Hi God! Mind if hang out and try to learn something?"
