That's unmaintained pay-respects is a maintained replacement.

I love how it's not just a fork, it's a rewrite in Rust. Of course it is.

quietly cargo installs pay-respects in his corner

Sync (which does have messed up formatting lol

[-] moseschrute@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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.

Seems like something I'd make around the 4th no sleep day. Nice.

I alias rm to rm -r for easy folder deleting

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 months ago

UGH that shit.

rm deletes a file. It can't delete a directory, you have to use

rmdir to delete a directory...as long as there's nothing in that directory. If there's anything in the directory, you have to know to use

rm -r to delete a directory and its contents, and no

rmdir -r isn't right somehow!

But how would you run sl, the steam locomotive?

[-] palordrolap@fedia.io 3 points 4 months ago

I know you're joking but:

\sl or command 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.

I recently switched to a mechanical keyboard (with linear switches), and it took me a while to stop mistyping every command

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

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.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 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.

    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.
