    • Which Linux tool or command is surprisingly simple, powerful, and yet underrated?"

    Jump

  • I don't see anyone mentions htop. So, I will:) Just works, could be installed in any distro. Much more friendly than top but isn't bloated with features as some other alternatives are.

  • On the subject of editors, joe is just awesome: lightweight, powerful, had coffee coloring and line numbers, and you can choose it with Ctrl+C:)

    Jump

  • Terminator isn't supported anymore as far as I remember. A good substitution for it is Tilix. I'd been using the latter for a while but recently I switched to the new default terminal in Fedora (it had weird name that I unable to remember) and Tilling Shell extension for Gnome.

  • A week ago YouTube forced me to disable an adblock extension on one of my PCs.

    And you know what? Experiencing YouTuve with advertising is the best. It completely breaks my mood interrupting a video I'm watching and I often end up just closing the video and going to do something else like coding or doing something useful at home.

    So, I'm here recommending disabling your ad blocker if you are prone to procrastinating like me:)

    • Is using an HDD with an SSD as cache on Linux a good idea?

    Jump

  • I was using this kind of a setup a long time ago with 120GB SSD and 1TB HDD. I've found the overall speedup pretty remarkable. It felt like a 1TB SSD most of the time. So, having a cache drive of around 10% of the main drive seems like a good size to cost compromise. Having a cache 50% size of the basic storage feels like a waste to me.

    Jump

  • Bluesky was never meant to be free and open. It's just marketing and building user base trying to compete with the main Twitter competitor which is Mastodon. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to things for granted. I support Mastodon instance that I use on Patreon and I know what it takes to develop an Open Source software.

    • Are there any practical / production size use case for LFS?

    Jump

  • First of all, LFS is a book. It is intended for learning. The working Linux system you're ending up with after finishing reading the book is just a result of you performing practicing exercises while reading the book.
