Nah, that's just chaotic. Evil would be

Once when I was drunk it took me 5min to realise, that a cd rom is in fact a read only file system

[-] TurtleTourParty@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago

Does this mean that a cd-rw is not in fact a CD rom?

Change Directory -> Read Only Media

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !linuxhumor@lemmy.ml

tar -xzf (eXtract Ze File)

tar -czf (Compress Ze File)

[-] eyvind@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Mmmnnn z means (de)compress, c means create: -xf and -cf extract and create uncompressed tarballs. Also it’s far more complicated.

I’m sorry!

boom

[-] Joe_0237@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Tangentially related. I'm being confusing for educational purposes, tar is impossible even if you know it.

For newbies that know from the top of their head what a cd-rom is...

[-] Joe_0237@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Fair point. You can probably be 20 these days and not have really used CDs in your memory. Is this what getting old feels like?

[-] spauldo@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Speaking as someone that grew up with records, 8-tracks, and cassettes: yes, yes it is.

In Vim:

It's also helpful to note that “shell builtins” don't typically have man pages (at least for BASH). You can find help on these commands by typing [builtin name] --help or looking in the shell's man page or info doc (no one told me when I was learning, so I got confused as to why some of the more common commands didn't have man pages)
