Imagine being so obscenely brain dead that you need to watch a video to figure out wget.

Think of the zoomers, man!

Edit: By the way, pretty cool info here.

curl vs Wget

If only there were some way to ask the computer for help about a command, or maybe even a page out of a manual you could read.

Man, that would be great

Edit: This is pretty neat.

A single script to build a minimal live Linux operating system from source code that runs Doom on boot.

What it does :
- Downloads Linux Kernel 5.4.3 source and compiles it with a minimal configuration
- Downloads Busybox 1.35.0 source and compiles it statically.
- Downloads FBDoom and compiles it statically.
- Creates rootfs for Linux kernel.
- Generates grub configuration.
- Creates a bootable live Linux iso that runs Doom on boot.

It's called 'info'. That 'man' thing is for the gays.

Sublime == Atom -> opinion discarded. (And I don't even like Sublime.)

I am a Sublime enjoyer, I don't mind it. Besides, it doesn't take 2 seconds to start up next to bloated (because it's Electron) VS Code.

Objectively pedestrian zero IQ opinions. Also Krita > GIMP.

Edit: the final tier list was somewhat reasonable unlike the one in the bait thumbnail. DT does however deserve to be put against the wall for that shit conduct alone.

He should be put against the wall for his love for BBC.

Well yes that's what I meant. "I don't even like Sublime (the command palette starts out as a garbage dump and turns worse)" BUT it's gold next to bloated (because it's Electron) Atom (which by the way is dead as of yesterday lol).

Electron. For a fucking text editor. Come the fuck on.

How did that meme even get started? I remember first seeing it on 4chan about maybe a year or two ago. Obviously the guy in the photos isn't him, but what compels some autist to spam this shit on pretty much every e celeb thread on /g/?

Also because why not:

It's a showcase of the horrific fucking state of cross-platform GUI toolkits, that slapping everything into a literal web browser is easier. The Atom developers are working on another IDE, Zed. This one isn't based on webshit and is instead planned to be an immediate mode, GPU accelerated GUI thing. Their website has no links to any repos and half of it is evangelizing Rust, however, so I'm not holding my breath.

Why "sudo" instead of "su"?

Because I can forget that I'm inside a terminal with escalated privileges and accidentally do something stupid. Doas is better anyway.

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

I've been using Doas lately myself. Didn't miss a beat.

He starts out by saying first you su to root, and then when you're done, you su back to your account. Do people do this? Wouldn't you now have three separate sessions, your original session, the root session, and another session as the original user? Don't you just control-D or logout?

Also you can just sudo sh or whatever shell if you want an actual terminal session as root.

When I use su to become root, I just exit to get back to normal user. For a guy who runs a Linux channel on YouTube with some amount of fame, he really is quite the n00b at times.

No. Nobody sane does this.

If he does this every time he's probably like three million sessions deep as he keeps using su to switch back and forth between root and his user account.

e: hilariously enough one of the complaints about sudo is that anyone who gets access to your keyboard after you've recently used sudo could also use it due to its high timeout. But with this guy you could just type exit and get into his root account. So...

On the topic of launching programs, I've recently dabbled into "nohup" and nabbed a prefixing script to use in aliases to launch GUI applications from the command line without the child process relying on the parent. It's a basically just running this:

#!/bin/sh
nohup "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1 &

It's to keep the nohup command from sending nohup.out on stdout. Idk how agnostic (or safe) this solution is, but it works for me so, shrug.
