your favorite little computer program hoonja-doonja (unix version)

rsync is a file transfer program for Unix systems. rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.

Some features of rsync include

* can update whole directory trees and filesystems
* optionally preserves symbolic links, hard links, file ownership, permissions, devices and times
* requires no special privileges to install
* internal pipelining reduces latency for multiple files
* can use rsh, ssh or direct sockets as the transport
* supports anonymous rsync which is ideal for mirroring

I love rsync

Plays havoc with resource forks, unless you have the Apple version at both ends. Goddam macs.

what still uses resource forks?

finicky eaters and those trained in charm school?

Not really so much a unix doonja, but NetBeans absolutely rocks the Java IDE world way over Eclits.

I couldn't live without ClusterSSH at work, it allows you to type commands to multiple servers at once, very handy if you want to restart jboss on ten boxes! Plus it looks really cool.

vim in diff mode:

vim -d

a decent diff tool (2, 3, or 4 way) which allows editing of all the files.

ack is amazing http://betterthangrep.com/

yesssssssss

got this email

Things you need to have in addition to this:
Scons
FFTW headers & libraries

(Things needed by imfit/makeimage/etc., but not by profilefit:
cfitsio
gsl (GNU Scientific Library) )

You may need to edit the SConstruct file to change the defined paths, e.g.
include_path and lib_path (these need to point to wherever you have FFTW headers
and libraries installed; currently, they point to "/usr/local/include" and "/usr/local/lib")

before homebrew my heart would have sunk. with hombrew it took 90 seconds, and like 80 of those seconds were waiting for fftw to compile.

why is screen not on my goddamn work server

I have about 8 ssh windows open currently (some as me, some SUed to the db user, some tailing various logs, etc) and it is a pain to lose them all every time Windows or the network falls over

what kind of n*x sysadmin are you if you've never kicked off a long, important script, lost the connection and had the job killed, and gone "fuck, should've done it in screen"

fwiw it has basically zero dependencies if you have GCC on that machine

this really complicated things and was total overkill

https://github.com/clvv/fasd

v def conf => vim /some/awkward/path/to/type/default.conf
j abc => cd /hell/of/a/awkward/path/to/get/to/abcdef
m movie => mplayer /whatever/whatever/whatever/awesome_movie.mp4
o eng paper => xdg-open /you/dont/remember/where/english_paper.pdf
vim `f rc lo` => vim /etc/rc.local

haha

drawn to this but find yr previous post in this thread powerful + haunting
