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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Up arrow just feels right. If I can satisfy my goal just by tapping one button repeatedly vs not doing that. I think we all know what satisfies that part of the monkey brain.

    The ! is really useful when you forget you need to run the command with sudo. sudo !!

    [–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

    I like the argument reuse as well via !:1 and such. A bit more situational but can definitely come in handy

    [–] dukk@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    That’s life changing shit right there.

    [–] wuddupdude@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    No thanks. I'll just press the up arrow -> ctrl-a -> sudo

    [–] norawibb@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

    this is way more intuitive anyway

    [–] variouslegumes@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    I always just use zsh with oh my zsh. Best of both worlds.

    One thing that I still don't know how to do is go to the next result in the search with Ctrl+r. Makes it less useful lol

    [–] yote_zip@pawb.social 3 points 2 years ago

    Press Ctrl+r and Ctrl+s to cycle through.

    [–] red@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

    In Bash you just hit ctrl+r again, and again, until you found what you're looking for

    [–] bronzing@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

    This was recently mentioned in another post, but I don’t see it here: fzf make CTRL+R much easier to use. Bonus: in zsh you can start typing a command and then hit the up arrow to show only commands that start the same.

    [–] supermurs@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

    Up arrow all the way!

    [opens terminal and hits control-R]

    My mind has been expanded. How come no one told me of this before? This surf-and-turfs the fuck out of mashing up.

    [–] crunchypotat77@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

    CTRL+R is the GOAT.

    [–] drew_belloc@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

    Ctrl+R just changed everything for me now, thank you

    [–] ProfessorGumby@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

    Ctrl p is the appropriate keystroke to replace the up arrow.
