hello everyone 👋 while experimenting in my homelab, I found a simple way to log progress while still in the terminal called "jrnl" it feels good for beginners like me who are getting comfortable living in the terminal as it helps you build muscle memory and keep notes at the same time. so i can do stuff like "jrnl "finally fixed my Kubernetes ingress issue 🎉" you can also encrypt your file using: jrnl --encrypt if you want to see your last 5 logs you can simply: jrnl -n 5 you can change the config file and store it in your Obsidian vault if you feel like you want to take a fast note without switching apps and then you can come back to it when you want to do more deep learning. sudo pacman -S python-pip pip install jrnl --break-system-packages yay -S jrnl (if you are using an AUR helper like yay) sudo apt install jrnl # Ubuntu/Debian brew install jrnl # macOS pip install jrnl # Python hope it helps!

Hello friends, What is your favorite programming language? Why?

I've been running Arch Linux since start of this year and I've loved it. I previously had Fedora 32 and got frustrated because it kept breaking. Before that i was a SUSE guy (still love that distro) but that had issues too. Decided to try Arch and oh wow! it has been the most stable Linux distro i have ever run and there's probably an answer in the Arch wiki for most problems. Only issue i had was getting Wayland and Hyperland working. Then i discovered Omarchy. its essentially an install script but i think with their latest release its no also a full distro. Its the stability of Arch with Wayland+Hyperland working! I still recommend learning to do a proper Arch install, but if you have time or are just curious take a look at Omarchy. One other thing from using Ormarchy i was inspired so i'm currently learning how to write my own install and setup script.

Linux is not just an OS It is your foundation for real troubleshooting and automation Here are commands I still use all the time And how they help when things break 📂 ls — list files 🚶cd — move between folders 🗺️ pwd — see where you are 📄 touch — create empty files 📁 mkdir — make new directories 🗑️ rm — delete old logs and junk 📦 cp — copy files safely 🚚 mv — move or rename files 🐱 cat — read configs fast 🔍 grep — search logs for errors 🔐 chmod — fix permissions 🦸 sudo — run as root when you must 📊 ps — check what is running 📈 top — monitor CPU and memory live 📊 df — check disk space 🌐 ifconfig / ip addr — view network settings 🏓 ping — test connectivity 🔐 ssh — connect to remote servers 📦 tar — compress backups 📖 man — read the manual when stuck 🧩 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼𝗼 ps aux | grep nginx — find processes tar czf backup.tar.gz /etc && scp backup.tar.gz server — quick backup and copy Save these and you will script faster Troubleshoot production with confidence And stay calm when things go sideways at 3am 🐧 What is your most used Linux command?
