tldr
is great. Basically a crowd-sourced alternative to man
with much more concise entries. Example:
$ tldr dhcpcd
DHCP client.
More information: <https://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd>.
Release all address leases:
sudo dhcpcd --release
Request the DHCP server for new leases:
sudo dhcpcd --rebind
Well....slap my ass and call me Mary.....

Woah, that's dope as heck. Thank you!

I've recently started using tmux
when starting a new SSH session to try to build the habit.
As primarily a Windows admin (Yes, we exist on Lemmy ;) ) here are few I use often.
Enter-PSSesion
Get-ADUser
(also group and computer)CLS
(aka the superiorclear
)ii .
(short forInvoke-Item .
which runs the selected object using the default method. For paths (like.
) the default is explorer, soii .
opens the current directory using explorer.)ft
(short forFormat-Table
formats piped input as a table.)fl
(short forformat-like
. Used likeft
but for lists.)Where-Object
Select-Object
Fucking hell Lol ๐
There are dozens of us.
Also, I'll add:
- Get-Help
- Get-Command
- Get-Member

I often play an old DOS game in DOSBox, and when I exit it doesn't reset the screen resolution. So I reset it manually by typing
xrandr -output e-DP1 -auto
g-push
which is alias for
git push origin `git branch --show`
Which I'm writing on my phone without testing or looking
git push origin HEAD
is a slightly shorter way of doing the same thing, even though you have an alias anyway lol
For Debian based/descended distros:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
And technically I also regularly use
redshift -O 3000
all of the blue light filter programs try to align themselves with a user's geographic location and time, but I don't keep normal hours
topgrade
does this and and a lot more
Chuck the -y in there for extra lazy mode
I would but much like somebody else's recent post I have in the past nuked my install by blindly agreeing to some recommended software removals before. These days I like to double check what packages are being updated and replaced.
$ z
A great cd alternative
Also $ sudo paru -Syu
[2J[H
Is one of my favorites. Of course, most of you are too young to know what that means.
In my ~/.bashprofile:
alias resource="source ~/.bashprofile"
In my terminal:
resource
Anything to save a few characters
I have cd && clear
aliased as home
Lazy aliases unite!
omz reload
not going to say zsh is better than bash or fish, but oh-my-zsh does make it more attractive for some use-cases
ls and cd
I sometimes hit ls and then need to type dir.
The amount of times i tried to dir in linux and ls in windows is mire than I like to admit
diff -y -W 200 file1 file2
Shows a side by side diff of 2 files with enough column width to see most of what I need usually.
I have actually aliased this command as diffy
ctrl-r
searching bash history
du -sh * | sort -h
shows size of all files and dirs in the current dir and sorts them in ascending order so you can easily see the largest files or dirt ant the end of the list
ls -ltr
Shows the most recently modified files at the end of the listing.
cd
then ls
then cd
then ls
maybe Iโll throw a ls -a
Nah you gotta alias ls -a to la for more efficiency.
Don't forget your pwd
thrown in to get back your bearings!
I do love fuck
.
And you mistype it as fsck
