I had a dumb tv that I was using with a Roku streaming box. The TV became no longer supported because of the HDMI version that shipped with the TV. Roku stopped supporting certain versions of hdmi to prevent piracy.

Even if you have a “Dumb” device, newer tech may just say no.

On the days I go into the office:

Tennis shoes, Jeans, Button down short sleeve shirt, or Polo shirt.

Work from home days:

Same thing except I wear a t-shirt.

diff -y -W 200 file1 file2

Shows a side by side diff of 2 files with enough column width to see most of what I need usually.

I have actually aliased this command as diffy

ctrl-r

searching bash history

du -sh * | sort -h

shows size of all files and dirs in the current dir and sorts them in ascending order so you can easily see the largest files or dirt ant the end of the list

ls -ltr

Shows the most recently modified files at the end of the listing.

If you are going to dual boot and your computer has room for 2 drives. The way I would recommend doing it is to add a second drive for Linux, and disconnect to windows drive from the computer. Do a normal linux install. And then add the windows drive back in. Then you can set one of the drives as the default boot device and if you want to boot to the other just open the Boot options on boot.

This keeps things totally separated and you can even remove one of the drives later if you want to single boot.

Co-workers: 2 Linux sysadmins with 15+ years of experience.

I do mostly, I turn it almost all the way off with a valve on the shower head.

The running stream is thinner than a pencil.

If I turn it off all the way, it is cold when I turn it back on.
