Have you tried fzf and it’s history integration? Ctrl+R and youre fuzzy finding through your history. I don’t know how I lives without it

Oh boy, my time to shine:

• mkd - Create directory and immediately cd into it
• dei - docker exec -i
• dps - docker ps
• mdocker - Switch to minikube’s docker context
• n - nvim
• n. - nvim .

Node package managers

Exampes use pnpm but I have them for yarn, npm, and bun too

• pi - pnpm install
• pd - pnpm run dev

fzf stuff

• sdh - Search home directory (directories, recursive)

Meme

• fuckyou - git push --force
• nano - nvim

Misc

createpgdb - Create a postgres db on the given container with the given name

Usage: createpgdb "postgres container" "db name"

I have similar ones for dropdb and pg_dump. Here’s the command:

f() { local __user; if [ -z $3 ]; then __user=postgres; else __user=$3; fi; docker exec -i $1 createdb -U $__user $2; unset -f f; }; f'

Those are the exact words my first boss used when on my first day, I asked if I could use linux mint instead haha. That’s pretty spot on.

For good reason too, it has waaaay more support for your basic workplace apps than anything else (not that other things don’t but it’s easier to find a .deb than a .rpm)

A “Ubuntu LTS” option would be great here, yeah. It’d be next to impossible to support every distro and I get the feeling linux users who have distro preferences are also the type who would prefer to do it themselves.

Source: Me I guess. I’d rather setup Fedora myself

This PR/meme is my spirit animal

I have an init.sh file I run from my dotfiles. Pipe my sudo password to it and leave it alone for about an hour. Gets things 95% of the way to how I like them.

I should migrate to ansible like u/djehuti@programming.dev but time :(

Fair enough, just saw the “if you’re not an IT worker” comment haha

Ah, my use case right now is almost exclusively streaming stuff from my laptop to a phone with HEVC support over a local network so I can just turn transcoding off and be okay.

I did however have issues with my lack of transcoding (I turned it off myself, not Jellyfin’s fault. Pitchforks down, people) on a tablet without hardware HEVC support though so I may have to experiment with it soon.

FWIW I had to go in and turn the feature off but there’s also a good chance it was using CPU instead of GPU

Oh come on, it’s better to be helpful if you can rather than just saying “for you” and adding nothing else to the conversation.

Seriously I’m sure they’d love to try it again if the issue is resolved. I know I wouldn’t pick Plex over Jellyfin unless I had no choice.

When you say “hardware encoding”, are you talking about using your GPU for stuff like transcoding when streaming to devices?

I ask because I actively disable all transcoding because I run jellyfin off my laptop and don’t wanna overwork it so to speak. I just assumed it was using the GPU.

2024 is gonna be the year of the Linux desktop, I can feel it!
