Full Message:
“Hello everyone! love the show. Been a Linux user for a little bit now and I get lots of tips and tricks from you guys. I wanted to share a trick I recently started using to learn commands/tools/stuff. There are so many commands and functions that I would feel overwhelmed learning about them. I came across the apropos command using the -s 1 “” when using that options you will see tons of output and their definitions. This is where your anxiety starts. BUT if you pipe that into the shuf command followed by -n 1 it will output one random command with the brief definition. The full command would be apropos -s 1 “” | shuf -n 1 I then put this in my bashrc start up so when I log into the system it will output one of those random commands. I will then take that one output and make it my mission to know everything I can about it by the end of the day. (if its something I already know, I will run the command until I see something new) Hope someone finds this helpful. Keep marching!”
This was a great interview! Not only do i love NextCloud - both its technology offering but also the spirit and intent of the overall project - but is it me or does everyone often feel better even after only hearing Frank speak about nextcloud!?! I know that i always feel better about using nextcloud after hearing Frank speak/present. I actually trust that he - and the rest of the nextcloud org. - has/have the best intentions for the project, and that my best interests as a user are supported. I really hope that they stay on this positive trajectory, and that their suite of tools and platform keeps improving!!!
Also, as always, great job Team Destination Linux for running such a nice interview!
cough cough Go muffins! cough cough
Confused about the apropos parameters. The one’s given in the program notes don’t work. But this seems to: apropos -s 1 ‘’ | shuf -n 1
OK, so you need the double quotes when adding the command to your .bashrc. But as a command line alone, you have to use single quotes.
