Simple trick I use almost daily for navigating backwards to an exact directory:

https://gist.github.com/GNOMES/6bf65926648e260d8023aebb9ede9...

I use this often instead of chaining together multiple '../..'.

Also nice for when I use Zoxide to CD into a deep nested directory. I quickly found out unless you manually CD each hop, the different parent directories aren't added to your Zoxide DB. (I have come across snippits to recursively CD into all directories in a path to "prepopulate" Zoxide).

I made this to jump directly from say `/foo/bar/batz/abc/123` to `/foo/bar/batz`.

Are there plans to annotate the other two posters?

This sounds amazing. Hard to wrangle friends together to play a game, so giving a full day is great.

Ignoring Civ 2 vs Civ 5 differences, any experiancing hosting Unciv vs Freeciv?

Thinking back to 2016 when Pogo launched there were news stories about trespassing, people getting hurt etc for virtual creatures...

I could easily see someone be foolish enough to go up to predators

This gets shared a ton, but the old Bell Labs video from 4:56 to 10:52 is still the best way I have seen pipes explained:

This article is making me laugh.

Guy I used to play Diablo + Destiny with mentioned once that he had just sold a knife in CS for 4k, and was going to buy his first (used) car with it.

We thought he was joking.

I use my "dc" command to reverse "cd" frequently https://gist.github.com/GNOMES/6bf65926648e260d8023aebb9ede9...

Ex:

    > echo $PWD
    /foo/bar/batz/abc/123

    > dc bar && echo $PWD
    /foo/bar

Useful for times when I don't want to type a long train of dot slashes(ex. cd ../../..).

Also useful when using Zoxide, and I tab complete into a directory tree path where parent directories are not in Zoxide history.

Added tab complete for speed.

I have been testing this as a daily driver since the last big mention on HN to simplify my .bashrc file.

I use it with `eval "$(zoxide init bash --cmd cd)"` so I can continue to use CD due to muscle memory.

    - I like that if there are multiple /foo directories known by Zoxide, say /foo/ and /abc/foo/, that you can do `cd abc foo` to go the path containing both.

    - I am not a fan of having to do `cd foo**` for tab completion to folders outside CWD. I feel it slows me down as a tab complete fanatic.

    - Also don't enjoy if I `cd foo/bar/batz` directly, then try `cd bar`, Zoxide has no reference. You would need to CD into each directory individually to build the database. I have seen scripts kicking around online to put a complete directory structure into Zoxide database by CD'ing to each subdirectory for you.

Not sure if I am officially sold, or I'll go back to aliases and simple tab completes forwards, and backwards (logic I use for tab complete backwards to exact directory name backwards from CWD instead of `cd ../../../etc` https://gist.github.com/GNOMES/6bf65926648e260d8023aebb9ede9...)

Never realized you can do that. Can you share that tmux binding? Right now I use `bind -r Space next-layout` for resizing (spam repeatedly).

I have been tempted to drop tmux locally for native Ghostty panes/tabs, but I prefer the single height tmux status bar with window list only (set -g status-left '' + set -g status-right '') vs the thicker window decorations using macos-titlebar-style = tabs.

I did come up with Ghostty bindings to replicate my tmux settings if it helps anyone (my tmux leader is ctrl + space):

    # clear default bindings + add paste back
    keybind=clear
    keybind=super+v=paste_from_clipboard

    # navigate panes
    keybind=ctrl+h=goto_split:left
    keybind=ctrl+j=goto_split:bottom
    keybind=ctrl+k=goto_split:top
    keybind=ctrl+l=goto_split:right
    keybind=ctrl+space>shift+apostrophe=new_split:down
    keybind=ctrl+space>shift+five=new_split:right
    keybind=ctrl+space>space=equalize_splits
    keybind=ctrl+space>z=toggle_split_zoom

    # navigate tabs
    keybind=ctrl+space>c=new_tab
    keybind=ctrl+space>one=goto_tab:1
    ...
    keybind=ctrl+space>zero=goto_tab:10

The fact that Family Link app on Android doesn't have this feature drives me crazy.

Youtube kids exists, but far too many channels are not available without manual intervention.

I had to do something like this with Ansible's get_url module once.

Was having issues getting module to download an installer from a vendors site.

Played with Curl/WGET, but was running into the same, while it worked from a browser.

I ended up getting both Curl + get_url to work by passing the same headers my browser sent such as User-Agent, encoding, etc

I thought the initial wording/hype was around poorly phrased lawyer speak for "you give FF permission to interact (post/get requests) with a web page as a browser. Don't sue us".

The whole some may consider it "legally selling your data" proves this is not just a Terms of Use change in good faith.

Tooling looks useful, but still trying to understand Dev containers themselves.

Why use one of these premade container images vs using a base image, adding extra packages/layers as needed?

I use an Array + Sed to go backwards in path to an exact directory without having to spam cd ..:
