    I recently set up an alias since I do some hardware stuff and need to run programs not in my default path as sudo.

  • In Denmark we have a bunch of weird ones: When there isn’t a problem: “There is no cow on the ice”/ Der er ingen ko på isen

    When you’re helping someone when it would be better they did it themselves you’re doing them “a bears favor” / en bjørnetjeneste
