Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    id type out more ~/.bash_history | grep ls and copy, paste before id type out ls tbh

    Why do all that typing? Hit ctrl-r first then type ls. Bonus points if you hook fzf into it.

    fzf hooked into ctrl-r, a bash history of about 100k and HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth is magic.

    Note: backup your history file periodically, system crashes at the wrong time can zero it leaving you incompetent until it's restored.

    Pretty sure you just got wooshed...

    This whole post is ridiculous, idk if its possible to get whooshed in here.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    Yeah it's ridiculous. That's the woosh. The statement was "I'd type more blah piped to ls then copy and paste before typing ls"

    It's absurd. It's obviously absurd. If you didn't pick up on that, you got wooshed

    Probably, but I'll spread the good word anyway.

    You can pipe it to wl-copy, and then when you need it all you need to type is wl-paste
