alias ll='ls -l'
alias apt=‘reboot’
I alias rm to rm -r for easy folder deleting
alias dir=‘ls’
I have all variations of quit and exit in CS2 aliased.
sudo apt install sl
Thank me later
I remember people groaning in the CS lab in college when they realized they hadn’t locked their machine before walking away for just long enough to let someone install sl.
I am a menace around unlocked computers. Was at a job and found a colleague who left his computer unlocked and had customer information open in a co working space on his screen. Set his computer language to hebrew before locking it.
Another time in college I found an unlocked computer in a library. Set their profile picture to Chris Chan with an overlay image saying “#ThisIsMyAuthenticSelf #Unafraid”. On this system, the user was not likely to see their own picture, but other people they contact will.
Make sure to add “Defaults insults” to /etc/sudo while you’re at it.
My favorite was “quti” actually quitting Quake 3.
You can pry my Steam Locomotive from my cold dead hands!
On the off chance someone here is an R user, there’s the
fcuk
package: https://thinkr-open.github.io/fcuk/articles/fcuk.htmlalias cp='rm -rf'
Some people want to watch the world burn.
In order to improve your accuracy might I suggest:
alias i='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /' alias s='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /' alias sl='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /' alias ll='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /' ...
Etcetera. It will make sure you are punished for typos
Make sure to do
alias i='echo <password> | sudo -S rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
For maximum damage, even when you’re not root!
This is in my
~/.aliasrc

Just install the train app

for your git failsNah, I’ve had this in here for +15 years now 😃
Get thefuck out, and move on.
That’s unmaintained pay-respects is a maintained replacement.
Sync (which does have messed up formatting lol
Yeah that looks like an issue with their markdown rendering. I tried to look how they render markdown, but sync is closed source :(
As far as I know, <link> is valid markdown syntax and supported by the official Lemmy UI.
Yeah I know Syncs Markdown hasn’t been correct for Lemmy basically the whole time lol and sadly it seems to be abandoned but I’ve been using it for 10 years :(
Here’s how it looks in Thunder if that helps:
This is just self promo, but you should try my Lemmy/Piefed client. Fully open source and very actively maintained!
Nice i didn’t know it’s also on codeberg now, why is there a > at the end of the links?
Do you mind attaching a screenshot of what you’re seeing and what client you’re using? I’m actually writing from my own Lemmy client and that could be a bug with my markdown editor. Or it could be how your client renders markdown.
i am using piefed normal website this is what displays there is < at the start of the links and a > in the link i tried your client and it renders fine there
Yeah I reached out to PieFed devs already, thanks. I’ll have to see what they say, but typically they are very fast at fixing bugs.
A core memory
I forgot this existed
TheFuck is wrong with me
Seems like something I’d make around the 4th no sleep day. Nice.
The amount of times I’ve spent 3-4 days to write a script that will save me a total of maybe 2hours of my time over a lifetime of use.
This is so funny and useful
I used the this for years to git push new branches to origin until I figured out the new setting that does it automatically
“the this”
Yes, but it’s funnier that way
Absolutely, used it on my work computer as well and sometimes had it in my screenshare
Thanks. Leaving a comment to remind me to install this.
Same. This is both useful and hilarious.
tldr is another good tool if you’re just learning cli tools.
thanks for the suggestion - i like that man pages are thorough, but the probability that i need some option that 0,5% of users need is pretty low for now
Exactly.
Man pages are not bad, but often it helps to have a few examples of how people use the tool.
But how would you run sl, the steam locomotive?
I know you’re joking but:
\sl
orcommand sl
.I’d say “check your shell documentation” but they’re both almost impossible to search for. They both work in Bash. Both skip aliases and shell functions and go straight to shell builtins or things in the
$PATH
.There’s also
/usr/bin/sl
but you knew that.There’s also
/usr/bin/sl
but you knew that.$ ls /usr/bin env
I guess I could
env sl
?Caught the NixOS user
😳
Dangit. I always forget about
env
. Yes, that ought to work.Oh, I was just remarking that I don’t have anything but
env
installed in there. I wouldn’t be able to runsl
by its full path unless I go searching for wherever that isWhoa. What distro is it that puts everything in /bin, or at least, practically nothing in /usr/bin?
I use a Debian that actually symlinks /bin to /usr/bin so that they’re one and the same (annoying some purists), but even on systems where they are (or were) used for separate purposes, I thought that each had a significant number of commands in them.
(To paraphrase
man hier
, /bin is for necessary tools and /usr/bin is for those that are nice to have.)NixOS, all packages are in
/nix/store/
, where each package had its own folder (simplified because there’s the hashing stuff but idk how to explain that)This allows you to have multiple versions of the same package, on the same system, for example.
They’re likely using NixOS. It makes
/usr/bin/env
and/bin/sh
for compatibility but nothing else goes in those dirs
