I’ve been setting up a new Proxmox server and messing around with VMs, and wanted to know what kind of useful commands I’m missing out on. Bonus points for a little explainer.

Journalctl | grep -C 10 'foo' was useful for me when I needed to troubleshoot some fstab mount fuckery on boot. It pipes Journalctl (boot logs) into grep to find ‘foo’, and prints 10 lines before and after each instance of ‘foo’.

    redshift -O 5000: ‘redshift’ is a utility that adjusts the color temperature of your display, ‘-O’ allows you to set a specific temperature, and ‘5000’ is what I like.

    Edit: I also like xkill. xkill lets you click on a window or program and kills it. I need to do this frequently every time exit Kodi; the program stops, but the window is still there.
