On a side note:
I hate it that the password-change command is minimally abbreviated to “passwd”.
Come on, making it much more complicated to remember and saving just two freakin letters??“umount” is worse
But the only command that I have to look up every damn time, although it has no abbreviation at all, is useradd.
Oh no, wait, I mean adduser!
… No, wait again… aah…Next update changes it to usadder as a compromise. Supposedly, it’s short for “user adder” but we all know it’s to make “[you] sadder”.
Ah, damn it! I’ll look it up next time. *sudo vim /etc/passwd*
Surely
visudo, I hope
First time I have to use it, the spelling really confused me. Wrote unmount and didn’t understand why it didn’t work.
I guess this also must be an additional layer of hellfire for dyslexics…
They did boatloads of horrific things to save bytes. They radix encoded strings, created the y2k and 2038 problems, normalized redirecting output to /dev/null, passed raw text blocks through a fifo file buffer rather than properly tagged data, ditched proper exception handling and a bunch more listed in the Unix Hater’s Handbook
Now this looks like an interesting read. Thanks!
I SAID, pass the wood
It’s the passw daemon

Do you not tab-complete your commands? I mean, my terminal usage for anything beyond very short commands consists of <first few letters of command> <TAB>.
Do you not tab-complete your commands?
Sure I do (although nowadays Strg-r does most of the heavy lifting for me), but as a decent touch-typist I am often faster directly typing short commands, like passwor… damn, I mean: passwd ;-)

If you haven’t, give fzf a try. Is like Ctrl+r in asteroids
My kryptonite is
duwhich reports disk usage, anddfwhich reports disk file size, or no, wait,duis file size anddfis disk usage.Most of the time I can only remember whichever one I don’t need at the moment and futilely hope that its man page will mention the other (which it doesn’t).
I’m always like “
dushows disk usage of files, anddfshows how much of disk is free”.I just try them both every time
puh-wuh-duh
pwned
pizza with dick is how i reamber it
I thought it meant p-word. As in “wet ass p-word”
Just make an alias with a more convenient name.
alias ‘where_the_fuck_am_i’=“pwd”
alias who_the_fuck_am_i='whoami'alias what_the_hell_is_going_on='btop'alias who_the_fuck_is_that=fingeralias finger_me='finger $USER'What the hell is wrong with all of you? Command names obviously use
-and not_alias _=‘-’
alias too_late='echo 😛'
Unfortunately all the 2, 3 and 4 letter combinations are used as an alias for when i mistype “ls”
I always called it Present Working Directory but apparently it’s Print
Same, mind blown
I pronounce it pwood.
Pwud here
I use muscle memory.
