Pro tip: You don't need to use sudo for things inside your home directory (~).
If you sudo mkdir or sudo wget in your own home, you'll end up with root-owned files that break applications like Syncthing, backups, and general usage.
Fix it with:
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/path/to/mess
Or just don't use sudo there in the first place.
