So we all have used Windows, right. I have a Digital license for both that are tied to my account. But we all have paid for it and I'm sick of the choices that Microsoft has made. Microsoft: "Yeah let's bake in Ads and USELESS AI in the product our users pay for"

yeah I won't be using that. I still love Windows deep down, but that's Windows 10. Too bad it's not getting supported unless you pay for ESU. I'm gonna use Linux on PCs in the future.

In my opinion: Fuck Microsoft and Win11.

Linux tip: you can edit files from within less by pressing "v". This will launch your default editor.

If you do not have a default editor specified, you can specify one by adding the following lines to your .bashrc:

# set default editor
EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim

Substitute vim for whatever editor you prefer. (Which is obviously vim :)

#Python Moderno para #DevOps!

Em breve nas prateleiras da #LINUXtips, basta ir lá e se cadastrar no https://linuxtips.io/python-para-devops/ e esperar para receber a sua cópia do e-book.

2025, era da IA, a maior das pessoas não lê e vai buscar respostas em chats.

Mas aqui estou eu, escrevendo um e-book para a comunidade #python e #DevOps da #LINUXtips pq sei que as pessoas que estudam na LINUXtips querem aprender de verdade.

A #reboot is a solution to many tech problems. But if you are on #Linux, did you know you need to reboot only if your kernel has changed? Otherwise you can do a "soft reboot" and get the same thing. You need to kill the init process and make it respawn. It varies from distro to distro but on #systemd ones, you can do systemctl soft-reboot and it'll do the job for you.

Also if you have problem with your graphical shell, you can simply restart your graphical stuff. Not even a soft reboot is needed. For instance if your display manager is lightdm like me, simply do systemctl restart lightdm.

I think this applies to other #unixlike operating systems with the similar kernel and system architecture as Linux. Maybe #BSD people can share their experience?

If you’re running both Linux (like Kali or Ubuntu) and Windows on the same machine and notice that Windows displays the wrong time after booting into Linux, you’re not alone.

It kept bugging me for years tbh .

Solution is simple - just run the following command in your Linux terminal:

sudo timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock

Did you know? On Linux you can observe the file descriptor positions using `/proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd-number>`
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/proc_pid_fdinfo.5.html

You can use that to observe long-running file processing jobs' progress. But there are tools that format this properly; Debian (/Ubuntu) packages `progress` a tool that does just that:
https://github.com/Xfennec/progress

It can snoop for coreutils processes, or just watch an arbitrary pid:

`progress --monitor --pid $(pidof -s lbzcat)`

Save time and energy managing your Ubuntu software by preinstalling it
sudo apt install * -y

#RaspberryPi owners, how do you back up your #RPi?
I don’t have an extra hard drive, so I need to back up to #GoogleDrive. I’ve installed #Rclone and tried creating a #BASH script, but I’m struggling with it.
If you’ve set up something similar or have recommendations for an efficient backup workflow, I’d love to hear them! Bonus points if you know any good courses or resources to improve my scripting skills.

Can't remember the order of arguments for making a symbolic link?

Think of it like copying the directory, but instead of a copy, you end up with a link back to the source.

So
cp -R source-dir copy-name

Means to link you
ln -s source-dir link-name

You're welcome.

I saw a few toots recently from folks saying that they can never remember this. Just remember: it's like 'cp -R'.
