@wirestyle22 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Do they alias certain commands in linux because its easier than actually changing them?

type ls shows that ls is actually 'ls --color=tty' as an example

It's because changing them would be inappropriate.

Can you elaborate a little bit? Isn't the point of the --color modifier to make it easier to see things like broken hard links? Seems like it should just automatically a part of ls and they agree or it wouldn't be an alias

But that doesn't change the command. It's the same command, just an alias. Modify it however you like. It's just changing "options", not the code. To change the command itself would be forking it and making it a new command totally and each distro would have to maintain their own codebase for forever - instead of just selecting a setting.

Is Robert5205 being serious?

Wow. Just refreshed the page.

Yeah, advice fail right there I mean I get his point, but I don't agree. It's "you don't know how to do your job to a minimum level of competence, so let's just gloss over that and give bad advice since it's too hard to treat you like a professional." If I gave that same advice people would be all over me for being condescending and thinking that the OP was too "dumb" to do his job. But other people treat him like a child and it's considered normal.

You should leave spiceworks' community for a week. Don't log in there, do do anything relating to it, and see what happens.

You can save a config file (e.g. .tcshrc) to a network location and then import that to your home directory whenever you log in to a new location if you want to have the same aliases everywhere.

Most of the community is already looped to SAM and I realized, after posting, that having the community set to SAM's localhost would be no change.

Why does my boss get 4-5 emails a month from WinZip??? Are they still a thing? I mean, they all get caught in the spam filter, but I still find it funny/sad/something that WinZip is still spamming folks.
