Custom shell prompt tips and tricks?

Recently I stumbled over an article, about how to customize your shell prompt. What really surprised me, is that it lacked one of the most basic tips I learned nearly 20 years back: Always display a timestamp in the prompt, to be able to check how long a process is running or when it ended. (Don’t need it daily, but every so...

Use PS1=“▌t▐nw→” to display your local time each time you press enter. And make aliases of lengthy commands such as alias internettest=“curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py | python -” (You need to install python to run this.)

Mint if you are a newbie.

ZorinOS if you have no idea what you are doing.

Gentoo if you hate yourself.

Debian for that false sense of security (Its motto is “outdated packages = more security”).

Eh…just trying to learn some new things regarding common “dockerization”-related things, and improving its security.

If the end-goal is not learning but having an as secure container as possible

It’s actually both – there is always something new to learn, after all. And thanks for these tips, I’ll read em right now.

copying in key elements from the host machine

Not from the host machine, but from the official nginx image ( nginx:mainline-alpine3.18-slim ). And what it (basically) does is separate the essential commands/files inside a scratch image and gives every command a custom username tag.

Still, I appreciate your input.

Now you’ve confused me a little bit – is there any difference between a scratch and a distroless image? Aren’t they (technically) the same thing?

That aside, thank you for your input and compliment.

Oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying. And I’ve got to admit that “dockerizing” everything is a fun process indeed. :P

If it starts to make you do weird/senseless things like waving your cellphone in the air to stop the government from tracking you or similars, then yeah… that’d be a liiiiiiiiiiiittle too much.

Filter windows…

YES

Gamers who have gamed for a long time

do you find it difficult to get into games? I’ve got Epic Games and Steam Games libraries chock-full of classic top-tier games along with many other newer games like Stray or 2077, and a bunch of indie titles. I just can’t be bothered to download and install them, much less try to get into the characters and storylines. Used...

(Almost) 40 year old gamer here. Eh… it depends of my mood and how “new” the game feels. But I find easier to settle in PvP-oriented games tho.

I use Brave to test whether my websites work on Chromium browsers, but their scummy actions lately make me want to find a new Chromium browser to test with. What's the best Chromium based browser?

I already use Firefox for browsing normally, but I have to test on a Chromium based browser too. One soft requirement is that it should be installable with Flatpak on Linux.

There’s Thorium… which is basically “The same thing but with lots of tweaks”.

there is something called discretion.

…and I said to call (whoever is troubling you) in particular and bring the issue up = discretion. And using your words well, you can even talk about someone’s lack of hygiene/odor.

GustavoM,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

And I said that it is a pointless conversation to have.

Why are you bringing so many random problems/issues out of this? That (most likely) not even exist let alone happen? It’s just a conversation, not a threat. If anything, it tells a lot about you, heh.

GustavoM,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

There’s no “motives” when they don’t exist – you just extrapolated the whole thing for the sake of lack of arguments.

And resorting to low blows won’t prove you right and neither set me as “wrong”, but only show you that you’ve let yourself get emotionally triggered in a 3 minute long convo.

“It tells a lot about you” indeed. :^)

I rest my case.

If you hold secrets and do not tell the whole thing (even the most disgusting stuff) to your SO… then it means that s/he is not that “special” anymore.

I mean, a relationship is never meant to be one-sided, but a “You and me” thing. And if you don’t think like that, then you are doing it wrong.

“So you are telling me to just throw random disgusting stuff to my SO?”

No. Call him/her in particular, “Hey can we talk a bit?”. It does wonders, that is all I can say about it.

t. Used to “play the tough guy” back in my early years. Took the “My life is an open book” route. Never looked back since then.

Broom.

It does not make funny beep bops but damn it surely does clean stuff!

“Wait…there is something else written in it.”

“You will drop this fortune after you are done reading.”

“…”

“Damn.”

What things do you do while eating?

I have a terrible habit of watching Youtube while I eat, and then one video turns to ten and I’ve wasted the entire day. I’ve tried just not watching it while I eat, but JUST eating is so incredibly boring that I cave in and turn it on regardless. I can’t get any work done while eating either, since it takes me out of flow...

I use either one or both of my hands to dive the food into an unknown world inside my mouth.

Follow the rules but don’t be too strict to those rules (like “instabanning” someone for using the f-slur once.).
