Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    locate enjoyers unite.

    Corporate users in shambles because mlocate.db cannot be generated without root.

    Idk why but I've always been a locate enjoyer myself. But find has more usecases.

    [–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Like what?

    [–] Evotech@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

    Find can find stuff based on permissions or other variables and interact with files, like delete etc

    Locate is just a database of filenames

    Grep. Couldn’t live without find exec grep.

    [–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    You rarely need find with grep if you man grep. Grep does it all.

    [–] jaybone@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Grep is going to find all .java files in /home/user/workspace? And then conditionally search them? Not so sure about that.

    [–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 9 points 6 months ago

    grep -R --include=\*.java "pattern" /home/user/workspace

    [–] Australis13@fedia.io 1 points 6 months ago

    Indeed! Covers most of the instances where I would otherwise have to use find.
