   • Run your own homelab

   I have some parameters for some Linux commands which are burned in my brain, and work for 95% of my needs:

   * tar czvpf (also x)
   * rsync -PSavv
   * netstat -lntp (also works for ss)

   I got used to those way back when during my Service Desk times, and now they're just muscle memory.

   Oh. And the one more "modern" is:

   * kubectl get events -Aw (btw: "alias k=kubectl")

   That's my Kubernetes variation of "journalctl -f" (also previously known as "tail -f /var/log/messages").

   How about you? What are yours? 😄

     Oh. Completely forgot about "ps aux". 😄

     Interesting note about updatedb/locate: I used to use that a lot, when I kept my computers on all the time and uptatedb ran as a cron job. But with laptops that I keep suspending, and super fast NVMe, I don't worry about this anymore, and just use the regular find. 😄

     That's actually interesting. I could probably use "dc", even though it's too close to "bc". We'll see. Thanks!

     @badnetmask @homelab

     Ah the aliases

     k=kubectl
     m=make and j=just
     d=docker and dc=docker compose

     And a many more for git and docker operations, haha.

     Also my username is always j, and my hostname a3 (third laptop at current work)

     Sorry for the deviation 😅

     I haven't used sdiff in decades. I'm gonna have to read about these parameters. 😄

     I need to do better with git aliases. 😄

     @badnetmask @homelab Oh, speaking of git:

     [alias]
     tree = log --decorate --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --graph
     delete = rm
     del = rm

     git tree makes nice, coloured trees in the console similar to what gitlab does. git tree --all works, too.
     delete and del, self-explanatory.
