I made an alias that overwrites cd so I don't have to do this. The important
line is line 27, you could probably accomplish something similar like this:
alias cd="cd ${1} && ls -v --color=auto"
I also set it up so I can change more than one directory up using ... or ....
or .....
also I have a few shortcut scripts, cdir and qcd. cdir creates a quick way to
drop a bookmark wherever I'd like, while qcd can make permanent bookmarks.
Also qcd makes it so whenever I open a new terminal it opens to the last
directory I was in, which is nice if you need a new terminal to do something
in the current folder and you don't want to have to walk alllllllll the way
back.

I wonder if anyone would pay me to write bash scripts for them? is there a
role that's just... bash scripter? is that what sysadmins do all day? or is
that more automation? and what the heck is a dev op? do they write bash
scripts?
or maybe writing bash scripts is the "fun" part of linux, and nobody would pay
anyone else to do it because they want to do it themselves

wao I'm a cool kid _^
Hmmmm I googled "Network: file exists" and got this link:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1340713
my understanding of that is that maybe you're creating static routes, and for
some reason you're trying to create one that already exists? Maybe there's
something in your .bashrc config, if the file appears when you open a
terminal, or perhaps if it appears randomly then maybe there's a service or
something that's doing it.
Did you say it stopped when you swapped sim cards? ... on your phone? that's
bizzare... Maybe you were trying to create an ip route (whatever that is) that
was pointing to the same ip address as your phone? and when you swapped sims
it changed the ip address? If it appears again, maybe try setting static IP
addresses for both the phone and the computer in your router settings and see
if that fixes it. Though if you've ever seen the error while out and about at
like, a coffee shop or library or whatever, then that wouldn't apply since the
router is only for home base...

the kind of friendship where you SSH into each other's systems and leave notes
for one another.
as soon as you find one you message the person who left it like "yoooo only
just found this lol" and they're like oooo yeah did you see the bash script I
wrote in that directory "yeah totally I used it on one of my video files just
now - cool filter!"
ahhhh reminds me of all the times hackers have hacked my permanently insecure
system and left me friendly messages like "hey I'm on your side" or "how's
life, friend? I hope it's going well." or "never forget; you are worth all the
fear" y'know cute things like that
oh. right. because leaving vulnerabilities like that can lead to threat actors

especially if you teach them how to use the terminal.
the amount of problems I could solve increased exponentially once I learned
basic python and BASH.
I love using "tldr", which is a summarizer for man pages. You can use it to
store custom notes (and import some from the community) which show you how to
complete common tasks. It's so nice when you can see the options laid out in
use right there for you whenever you type "tldr " - I personally use
"tealdeer" which is a tldr browser written in Rust. It's pretty nice because
you can write a note for yourself every time you solve a particular problem,
and then if you ever need to do it again it's there for you, easy to access.
of course, if your problem isn't listed, that's okay. That's what the man
pages are for. As long as you teach them how to search with \/ they can find
anything. Especially the \/-f[space] trick, to search for the -f flag for
example.
some organizers won't need the terminal, some will. if they pay attention,
great!

if I forgot how to do the thing, I spend time meandering about my
file-directory-system. If I don't find it, that's okay, because all I have to
do is keep looking until I stumble upon it.

hey, I'm working on a project. Might need some python, I tend to prefer Lua
but it's pretty similar. It uses fediverse software and cheap hardware, think
raspberry pi's except risc-v
also it might use distributed local LLMs not to generate text, that's garbo
and lame and stupid. Instead it uses them to transform text, maybe even
translate text, into a more summarized form. Intentionally losing data, like a
jpeg compression but for text.
Might need some python for that. To glue it all together. The "distributed"
part is a whitelist, so we'd need to write that too. Various small little
utilities like that for connectivity.
oh also there's a one-way ethernet cable that connects two of the boards so
we'd need to store some information (easy) and send some UDP packets (hard)
anyway it's pretty neat, lmk if you want my contact details and I can tell you
about it. I might even be able to pay you.
(everything open source, no telemetry, no backdoors, everything private is
encrypted, etc etc)

If you're writing a bash script, you should never hard-code file locations.
Instead, put them in a variable at the top of your script, so they're easy to
find when people need to configure your script or move files around.
It's like a config file built INTO the script itself. Just change the
variables, they're at the top with comments.
