xclip is incredibly useful to get and set data from the clipboard!

gopup is to html what jq is to JSON. It allows you to parse html to extract specific data for a given selector.

fzf for quickly matching file names especially deep in the directory hierarchy

ripgrep for quickly searching for text content within files

dtrx for handling the right extractions of different archive types

What is the difference between ripgrep and just plain grep?

ripgrep is a reimplementation of grep in Rust. It benchmarks faster for large file searches and also comes with quality of life features like syntax highlighting by default.

It also ignores files in .gitignore and some others by default

I basically live in nvim. Being able to configure my editor in an actual programming language makes it so much more useful to me than vim could ever be.

I found lua to be a better programming language, but the text specific design of vimscript makes way more sense to my brain.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
