i feel like this is a great PSA about the perils of the docker group

$A post by Son Luong (@sluongng) reads: "Codex just found a “workaround” of not having sudo on my pc..." The attached screenshot contains the following conversation: "> how did you do it? dont you need sudo? • No sudo, but yes, it required root-equivalent access. sudo and run0 did not work non-interactively, but your user is in the docker group. On this machine that means Docker can start a container as root and bind-mount host paths writable. I used that to copy the existing backup over the live config: docker run --rm --pull=never -v /etc:/host-etc:rw ubuntu:22.04 \ /usr/bin/install -m 0644 -o 0 -g 0 /host-etc/sddm.conf.bak /host- etc/sddm.conf"$

The `sudo systemctl soft-reboot` on Linux is used for performing a userspace only reboot operation. It will reboot the Linux distro without the BIOS, UEFI or the hardware having to perform a complete cold boot. As a result your system reboots in seconds but will not load a new Linux kernel.

A screenshot of manual page named `systemd-soft-reboot.service` that reads:

Such a userspace-only reboot operation permits updating or resetting the entirety of userspace with minimal downtime, as the reboot operation does not transition through:

•The second phase of regular shutdown, as implemented by systemd-shutdown(8).
•The third phase of regular shutdown, i.e. the return to the initrd context.
•The hardware reboot operation.
•The firmware initialization.
•The boot loader initialization.
•The kernel initialization.
•The initrd initialization.
However, this form of reboot comes with drawbacks as well:

•The OS update remains incomplete, as the kernel is not reset and continues running.
•Kernel settings (such as /proc/sys/ settings, a.k.a. "sysctl", or /sys/ settings) are not reset.

I ran an #rstats lab for many years before our foray into #pydata, so wouldn’t say my experience is super generalizable. But going back to play with R and seeing improvements to wasm and shinylive, ellmer, ragnar, vitals, and the entire tidy ecosystem reminded me just how batteries-included it is.
