You can … WHAT!?
Wow I did not know that. Incredibly helpful
Two additional commands I regularly use as a Sysadmin are
systemctl status without any unit to list show the general system status (lists units that are running, units that are starting and failed units right at the top)
And then
systemctl list-units --failed
To show me just the failed units and did deeper what the problem is.
On a properly set up system I should quickly be able to ascertain if everything is “up and running” just by systemds status
I agree but recently the user themes extension broke notifications and I’ve already slimmed down my extensions to only the most necessary ones … So now I’m honestly thinking about trying Plasma properly.
MHH interesting. I honestly haven’t really given kde a fair shot since KDE4 maybe I need to force myself to use Plasma 6. Gnome has really gotten on my nerves lately. But I also know that on Plasma I will mostly recreate my gnome experience (Super key, hot corner …) since these are so ingrained in me from over a decade of using gnome.
Incredibly I’ve had two printers I’ve never really had issues with.
Oh I can be mad about it >:(
Seriously gateways should be first or last address in the space. Fight me!
As a Linux nerd and Privacy/Open source advocate it’s tough to admit. But I can’t use DuckDuckGo. I work as a Linux Sysadmin and Google is the only search engine reliably returning good results (especially on more obscure topics). With DuckDuckGo I’ve often noticed that it will simply “drop” words from you search terms (i.e. if you search “yellow computer chair” it might just show you any kind of yellow chair or something like that) which makes it unusable for precise searches.
Jup same here. We have a colleague that constantly reminds everyone that we’re not properly patched (even running eol versions) but there’s always something to be done that’s a higher priority.
Yeah might have gotten stuck on Debian as well if I didn’t make the mistake to run stable when I first tried it. Choosing stable made sense to me since I wanted a stable os but when I was greeted by “ICE weasel” that was way behind the Firefox I got used to on Ubuntu and other software being terribly out of date I decided to move on.
Well then I got stuck on Arch.
But while it would be easy to say “never looked back” that’s not true of course, these days I tun Debian on most of my machines (only that they are servers) and Ubuntu on some (like my work Laptop) my personal Desktop and laptop are Arch though and probably always will be.
I work in hosting. We mostly use Proxmox for our Hypervisors which is already a step up from “bare” KVM in regards to convenience/ease of use (especially for High availability scenarios and the like) We also run VMWare and while I don’t love the “locked down you gotta do it the VMWare way” nature it’s often so much easier and the HA is mich more convenient. Also it has proper functionality for custom resourcing/access/billing.
Funny I had to Google ci" to remember what it does even though I use that sometimes.
I’ve committed to learning vim years ago and in most situations im faster in vim than in nano etc. (especially because of muscle memory) I still feel like I’m not properly using vim to it’s full extend (like whenever I remember using registers it feels like magick and I’m sure there’s more like that)
Oops guess I didn’t read far enough ;)
An article about tweaking sudo without insults?
It’s funny because when you described your problem I also knew immediately what the issue was since I remember turning that setting on for my gaming PC back when steam play was new (been gaming on Linux exclusively since 2016).
But for the life of me I can not remember turning on that setting on my steam deck. I must have since it works with all games but I really can’t remember switching it on.
What? How broken are we all that you first thought is “Nice then I can work two jobs” The only way this really works if they pay living wages for 3 day work weeks. And I know they aren’t even paying those now for 5-6 days but this is a point we have to insist on and make them do it. Workers have managed to enforce a 8 hour work day a long time ago. We need to remember our strength and fight for better conditions.
I remember the first time I saw ads on YouTube, I had just set up a new computer and wanted to test everything. So I opened Firefox and loaded a YouTube video. I got a preroll and wondered “wait ad’s, on YouTube?” Then I realized I had been using AdBlock for so long I never witnessed the transition from ad free YouTube to YouTube with ads.
These days I use unlock origin, Sponsorblock and revanced. For now it still works but maybe I’ll leave YouTube soon :/
Yeah they’re using the hell out of dark patterns and then switch them up mid process i.e. clicking the big green “Ok” Button will first be the one that gets you to pay more later you need to hit “Ok” to proceed without additional fees.
I recently went through the process with a friend. Both of us reasonably tech savvy and under 35 and we almost went mad. So it’s not just old folks.
No do is not the “none superuser” version of sudo.
As the comment above stated it’s part of loops. But since loop syntax are built in to bash they are actually seperate built-in commands. Because it’s an available builtin autocompletion offers it to you.
The do command here is just a special command that expects a certain set of parameters and a done at the end this is why you get an error trying to run do alone because it’s not adhering to the syntax properly.
