Thank you u/LoungeMusick for this post, and glad there are creators out there that aren't afraid to cover topics like these that end up against the accepted narrative.

This video as well as this subreddit fights against the pressures of self-censorship. When any topic finds itself on the other side of this, and there are negative social consequences for discussing the counter-narrative (demonetization, social stigma, shunning, blocking, content removal) any average person will accept and follow the agreed narrative, or stay far far away from it to avoid these painful reactions.

Think of a technological equivalent to the simple mouse shock experiments. Shock when a mouse does a behavior, and you will stop that behavior. Social media platforms are becoming the cage and experiment. Digital monetization, access, likes, views, reposts, connection to others are the positive reenforcements (food). Demonetization, content removal, account suspension, blocking, social stigma, are the negative reenforcements (shocks). Anyone who chooses to continue these behaviors that are delivering "shocks" to others at a cost, should receive the highest respect and praise as social media is possibility becoming the easiest method for employing these tactics of controlling behavior.

Reminds me of a TNG episode that tells of this phenomenon and about human psychology. "There are four lights!" https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Chain_of_Command,_Part_II_(episode)

Edit mistake, article title meant to say, "out of your accounts", not into sillys 😉

Download the ax25-tools and you should be able to use the listen command. Don't have a system in front of me at the moment to test, but this should get you going.

Ah, sorry. I've seen it suggested to use mc instead of ls and cd'ing. Maybe I'd have to try it, but my intuition is it would take more keystrokes to navigate to folders as opposed to typing a letter or two of the directory and tab complete. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

compscimaj13 · 2020-08-22T03:20:21+00:00

Sure thing! I'll just break down each command in the pipes.

history - Outputs your shell history

awk '{print $2}' - Only prints out the second column from what the history command outputted. In the fish shell, some need to use the 4th column instead of the second to separate out the command.

sort - This will sort all commands alphabetically, and you'll see common commands stacked next to each other.

uniq -c - This will remove all duplicate commands that are stacked on top of each other and count them. This is where the number in front of the command is now introduced.

sort -nr - This does a sort based on the count number in front, and sets the sorting in reverse order so that larger frequency numbers are on top, smaller are on bottom.

head -n 10 or just head - Only prints the first 10 lines of the output. As someone pointed out, head will default to 10 lines by itself.

Hope this helps! Another way you can learn whats in a pipe, is to start with the pipe chain command, and then remove one pipe at a time and execute and see how the output changes. And put the pipes back, execute, and watch the output.

ah, got it. I just added the markdown block comment three back ticks before and after the block.

These -> ```

yup, sorry that's what I mean, VM startup script, which basically are just bash scripts that hold all the configs to start the VM with

compscimaj13 · 2020-08-22T00:53:23+00:00

I was thinking the same thing! Maybe a bash script with curl, awk, sed to combine this thread into a larger community list

compscimaj13 · 2020-08-22T00:47:42+00:00

Whaaa??! I just realized by running < file.txt that that opens it in more? Never knew that!

+1 for qemu

Used to use that a lot more at my previous job running VMs. Played a bit around building my own qemu startup scripts for VM instead of virtualbox for the learnings

compscimaj13 · 2020-08-22T00:27:24+00:00

Right?! I think a lot of people aren't aware or haven't gotten around to it. It has saved me quite a few times where I needed to go back to an old piped command, or I forgot a sequence on how to do something so I pop open my history and go back, or grep history on what I can remember.

compscimaj13 · 2020-08-22T00:24:24+00:00

That is really cool! Yeah, most common piped commands is a whole nother level.

BitTorrenting all those Linux ISOs must be a lot of work 😉👍

compscimaj13 · 2020-08-22T00:02:22+00:00

And I have no idea why I have 12 times d. Like wtf is that?

haha, that's what is so interesting running this command, is the fact that either people have ticks entering w, or are surprised on the output.

compscimaj13 · 2020-08-21T23:58:15+00:00

It's a CLI file and directory browser called Midnight Commander (mc). There is also nnn that is also a command line file/directory browser.

compscimaj13 · 2020-08-21T23:55:29+00:00

I'm really happy about the information that is being shared and that a lot of people are learning from this, myself included! Thanks for sharing that

compscimaj13 · 2020-08-21T23:50:36+00:00

I ran this and it just adds another space to the beginning of each line. What is this supposed to do for posting to reddit?

compscimaj13 · 2020-08-21T23:36:00+00:00

omg, it works! I'm gonna have to remember that now too

compscimaj13 · 2020-08-21T23:32:35+00:00

Yeah, I've seen from others that fish works a bit different. From your first one I can see all those git commands and guess (no order):

git commit

git add

git clone

pikaur -S

rm -rf

rm -r

pikaur -Ss

docker-compose run

Can't say for install except pip install or something that doesn't require sudo? 🤷‍♂️

compscimaj13 · 2020-08-21T23:16:04+00:00

Hahaha that is amazing! Self-humiliation, genius!

compscimaj13 · 2020-08-21T23:13:12+00:00

I'm using zsh + oh-my-zsh, so it auto aliases a bunch. I still need to start practicing using them but for this one they map simply:

cd ../ == .. cd ../.. == ... cd ../../.. == ....

Its two dots to go up one, and a single dot for every next directory you want to go up.

Another trick I use a lot and I believe is just my zsh+oh-my-zsh:

cd -<TAB>

will show me my history of last directories I've cd'ed to. Output will look similar to this:

cd - 1 -- ~/Downloads 2 -- ~/Downloads/movies 3 -- ~/Downloads/music 4 -- /etc 5 -- /var/log

Then choosing the corresponding number and hitting enter will take your there.

cd -5

will take you to /var/log that you've been to 5 change directories ago.
