Just published an article on my blog. If you're a RipGrep user, you should take a look. It might solve your issue.

I'm mostly posting this as a way to help myself remember, but:

I have been using the venerable `less` Unix utility for over a quarter century (!) but just today I learned you can view multiple files with it!

less file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt

Use `:n` and `:p` to go to the next/previous file.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide pour écrire une commande Linux (c'est mon cas), ce site vous offre plein de générateurs (à la cron.guru). Evidement, ce serait génial d'avoir ça dans un TUI https://cmdgenerator.org/ #linux #commandline #générateur

Handy #bash #alias to get your phone's battery status from the #CommandLine if you're using #KDEConnect and it's available:

alias kcbatt='qdbus6 org.kde.kdeconnect /modules/kdeconnect/devices/$(grep -Em1 "^\[[0-9a-f_]+\]" ~/.config/kdeconnect/trusted_devices |tr -dc 0-9a-f_)/battery org.kde.kdeconnect.device.battery.charge'

(Will take the device id for the first device in your trusted_devices file. If you have more than one phone registered to #KDE Connect, then you need to add some more logic (and likely make it into a bash function or script))

I enjoyed this new Zine from @b0rk - "The Secret Rules of the Terminal". I've been using command lines for decades and I still learned a lot.

This is rad. It’s a queer digital zine called New Session that’s published via Telnet.

https://anewsession.com/

Co-founder/editor Cara Esten Hurtle notes:

“The project isn’t just retro novelty—it’s a radical rejection of the addictive social media and algorithmic attention-mining that have defined the modern day internet.”

Just stumbled upon this amazing tool called zk! It's a command-line assistant for maintaining a plain text Zettelkasten or personal wiki. Perfect for programmers and note-takers alike!

Check out the GitHub repo: https://github.com/zk-org/zk and this insightful video:https://youtu.be/UzhZb7e4l4Y Note-taking System ALL Programmers Should Consider.

#TIL that you can specify a date with a timezone to the #Linux date command to easily convert to your local timezone:

$ date --date='TZ="Europe/London" 2025-06-29 12:00'
Sun Jun 29 07:00:00 AM EDT 2025

Or to convert to a third timezone:

$ TZ=America/Chicago date --date='TZ="Europe/London" 2025-06-29 12:00'
Sun Jun 29 06:00:00 AM CDT 2025

Command line stuff like `whoami` in e.g. `squeue -u $(whoami)` or the etymology of the command `less`, are like cave paintings or rude graffiti in Pompeii. Programmers from the past succinctly using humour to convey a purpose.
