As a #Linux user & lover, i am to "power users" as fish are to bicycles. Even so, sometimes i do get a little frisson of delight when i remember nice little tricks for the #cli / #terminal.
Sometime later today i intend to replace the second-boot of Lappy [currently #MXLinux, but rarely used coz i tend to dislike it] with #SparkyLinux. Atm i am just using Lappy's first-boot [#Fedora #KDE #Plasma] for some nice hours in my warm sunroom of fediversing. However, minutes ago i took a mini-break, for preparation, to open Dolphin on another virtual desktop, & Yakuake, in which i split the window & ran lsblk
in the lhs, then blkid
in the rhs pane. I always forget that the latter needs sudo
[since a couple of years ago], so ofc the command i had tried didn't work. Then, out of the blue, i suddenly remembered "the trick".
Rather than physically type sudo blkid
, i instead typed sudo !!
, which then automagically appended that erroneous prior cmd to the sudo
, thus running the correct sudo blkid
. Linux is so lovely!
