- For running a command with privileges, use `sudo` (for root) or `sudo -u` (for another user). Use `su` or `sudo bash` to actually run a shell as that user. Use `su -` to simulate a fresh login as root or another user.
- Know about the [128K limit](https://wiki.debian.org/CommonErrorMessages/ArgumentListTooLong) on command lines. This "Argument list too long" error is common when wildcard matching large numbers of files. (When this happens alternatives like `find` and `xargs` may help.)
- For a basic calculator (and of course access to Python in general), use `python` interpreter. For example,

- File attributes are settable via `chattr` and offer a lower-level alternative to file permissions. For example, to protect against accidental file deletion the immutable flag: `sudo chattr +i /critical/directory/or/file`
- Use `getfacl` and `setfacl` to save and restore file permissions. For example:
```sh
getfacl -R /some/path > permissions.txt
setfacl --restore=permissions.txt
