That has been my method, I wondered if there was something better. But if I stumbled into the answer, that works too!

What high seas have good sources for music these days? I feel like a lot of music is harder to come by on the trackers I've searched. Occasionally I can find a particular album but is the more niche stuff invite trackers only?

I really like Obsidian for campaign notes and stuff while running ttrpgs. I'm sure the uses are possible to recreate in other ways, but it makes it simple and easy enough for me to actually use it.

It seems like there is more to it, but even if it was just open source Obsidian, that's a valid enough reason to exist in my mind.

Thinking that an unliked party putting forward a candidate, who's only nominating quality is a second order connection to Obama, lost because of a triad of leftist servers on lemmy is genuinely delusional.

Oh my mistake, I didn't mean to demean at all. Yeah I think even in your example there are baked in knowledge we've picked up that we don't realize, and that a very likely response from fully fresh eyes would seeing the synopsis is "oh this isn't for me."

I use the neckbeard to destroy the neckbeard

Agreed! You can look elsewhere, and that's how I, and I think many other folks, learned. The OP was talking about the manuals though, specifically mentioning /usr/bin. So to restate my point is not to say it's impossible to learn linux, but that man pages are weird and bad place to push folks looking to learn.

Agreed, and I think a larger part of it is that most folks pick it up based on context after long enough, so it's rarely explained. The square brackets are optional arguments. So I could use ssh 192.168.1.1 or ssh postimo@192.168.1.1 with the first asking for the account after I connect, and the second just asking for the password. You can see how the computer took it in the response you got. hostname ]192.168.1.1 being it saw the @ and assumed everything after was the hostname and included the ]

It's worth noting that you can't just connect to a random machine like this, they need to also be running an ssh server. But I wouldn't expect you to know that without reading a great deal more of the documentation 🫠

The idea that manuals in linux are a good way to learn and understand new software is peak linux neckbeard bs, and I will die on this hill. I congratulate OP on the exact type of autism that lets them feel this is an effective and useful method for learning new software, but if there is desire to have a greater adoption of linux maybe its bad to be snarky at folks for not instantly understand the terminal based documentation conventions of some dudes in the 70s. Maybe an alphabetical* list of all possible options is okay for referencing or searching, but is objectively insane way to learn or understand a problem.
