GammaGames, in How do you recall your most used commands?

What does your fuck alias do?

And for my answer: If it’s for a specific tool, I make a helper script. I have one for git and docker

Penguincoder,

Reruns the last command with sudo (root) cause I fuck up not remembering to sudo quite often.

Me:

  • write it in a StackOverflow answer
  • or in a markdown notebook
  • keep it in zsh history search

but despite all my attempts of keeping records, whenever I need them,

  • ask ChatGPT
MangoKangaroo, in How do you recall your most used commands?

I usually lean on fish autocomplete to remember things for me. Should I write stuff down? Yes. But I’m lazy, so this method is okay. Until I’m on a different machine and end up completely lost.

fish FTW! Write a fragment of the command used before and press the up key <3

MangoKangaroo,

I didn’t even know about arrowing up for partially-entered commands; I’ve just been relying on the first autocomplete that pops up. Thanks for that!

Icarus, (edited ) in How do you recall your most used commands?

I don’t do much with bash since I primarily do windows admin, but I run into the same issue with powershell.

I have a document in VSCode that I store frequently used commands and any kind of notation/documentation I need to take advantage of it in the future. It’s a lot of one or two liners for stuff I know I’m going to forget, like the once a month hyperv cluster update command 😂.

Similarly I’ve added functions to the powershell local and global profiles on my computer/group policy. (contextually similar to bashrc, bash_profile, that load when launching interactive or non interactive shells, as well as user context) That way i can easily execute repeptive commands without having to think!

Basically, I think we all have the same problem and we’ve forgotten more than we know lol

DarkThoughts, (edited ) in TIL about KDE @ KDE Social

That link does not work on kbin as it links to "https://kbin.social/c/kde@lemmy.kde.social" instead of "https://kbin.social/m/kde@lemmy.kde.socia".

Yeah Kbin still hasn’t fixed that. They should.

But that’s why I give both the relative and direct link.

Lemmy hasn’t come up with a good implementation for that issue. They should.

There’s a third party thing that works well for Lemmy instances but I haven’t gotten in the habit of using it. There’s no good mobile plug in for it either so I doubt it will catch on.

It really should be implemented in the core of both Lemmy and Kbin to not need to think about direct vs relative links in the vast majority of cases. And it shouldn’t feel like a hassle when you want to. This is both possible and attainable, but neither projects’ devs are interested in implementing it for various reasons.

I’m not going to contribute to either project because I don’t particularly like what Kbin is trying to be (this is just a personal preference and interest thing) and I don’t particularly like how the Lemmy devs are approaching the architecture and development of Lemmy on a technical basis.

There’s going to be a replacement for the core of lemmy that will just function better and make front end UIs way easier to build and maintain. I’m excited to see it take shape.

darkphotonstudio, in If Mircosoft were to fully collaborate with the Linux/open source community what would the resulting Linux distro chimera look like and how would it affect the Linux community in general?

It would be a signal that MS is throwing in the towel as far as Windows as a separate OS. However, I suspect they already have some kind of Windows compatibility layer of their own that they’ve been working on. It would probably have some sort of limited source availability, as opposed to a full open source FOSS licence. If that is the case, it could actually undermine WINE. If MS could save face somehow and fully embrace Linux, they might do it, but I doubt it will happen. Who knows.

I love the smiling chameleon (I always thought of it as a female chameleon named “Susie”, this is before I learned the actual pronunciation), I hope they don’t replace it with some lame reblanding.

MangoKangaroo, in German state gov. ditching Windows for Linux, 30K workers migrating

I’m specifically interested in seeing how the transition from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice goes. My boss has been pondering the possibility of migrating us from Word and Excel to Writer and Calc. My concern, as someone who exclusively uses LibreOffice at home, is those edge-cases where another entity sends us a document that has some weird behavior that might not be properly replicated in LibreOffice. I don’t know much about the German government’s typical document practices, but I think this will be a good case study on the viability of LibreOffice in a more serious production environment.

badmemes,

Also, chances are it will eliminate these edge-case-problems for everybody else in the future.

Since they will be able to add these missig functionalities to LibreOffice for everybody else to use too.

@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Yeah, good luck with that. There’s the famous case of Munich (I think it was Munich?) moving their governmental workers from Windows to Linux. After a few years they went back. Unfortunately the average working enduser is still not ready to just use Linux. Especially not if its a Word/Excel/PowerPoint type of job.

Edit: ah, example is in the article.

davehtaylor,

Yeah, just reading the headline, I was like, didn’t this already happen like a decade or so ago?

I don’t think they said what flavor of Linux in the article.

UNIX84,

Maybe SuSE?

d3Xt3r, (edited ) in Ars Technica | Not-a-Linux distro review: SerenityOS is a Unix-y love letter to the ’90s

As a retro enthusiast, I’ve been following this project for a while and it’s been great seeing all the improvements over the years. I recommend checking out this video on its current state: youtube.com/watch?v=nWjAxNHXd_8

Equally, or possibly more interesting, is their Ladybird browser, which is cross-platform. Its been making great progress as well, and I sincerely hope that it can compete with the big two some day - would be nice to have a major browser/engine that’s not based on Webkit or Gecko.

I wish 90s interfaces would make a comeback, I really miss the aesthetics of that era. Luckily there are some excellent themes out there that scratch that itch, like Chicago95 for XFCE - and here’s bonus a screenshot of it running on my Galaxy Fold 4:

Does anyone know it ReactOS users can be managed with LDAP?
