I’ve been setting up a new Proxmox server and messing around with VMs, and wanted to know what kind of useful commands I’m missing out on. Bonus points for a little explainer.
Journalctl | grep -C 10 'foo' was useful for me when I needed to troubleshoot some fstab mount fuckery on boot. It pipes Journalctl (boot logs) into grep to find ‘foo’, and prints 10 lines before and after each instance of ‘foo’.
It isn’t a command but an application. I cannot do my work without it.
I prefer tmux, but yes. Both do a great job in helping me manage my terminal sessions.
What can I say. I’m old.
Scrolling in screen is superior to tmux imo
tmux is based
Based is fetch.
Stop trying to make fetch happen
are you using a maintained alternative? Distros started to remove it from their repos years ago because it was not maintained anymore afaik
I have no idea where you got that from. 5.0.1 is from August 2025.
maybe they resumed development then, it was removed from Ubuntu and RHEL repos about 5 years ago when I had to look for an alternative
