    1. Server Control Utility (SRVCTL)

      SRVCTL is a command-line interface that you can use to manage an Oracle RAC database from a single point. You can use SRVCTL to start and stop the database and instances and to delete or move instances and services. You can also use SRVCTL to manage configuration information, Oracle Real Application Clusters One Node (Oracle RAC One Node), Oracle Clusterware, and Oracle ASM.

    1. This seems a beautiful way to take advantage of the qualities of the different approaches.

      It also acknowledges the heuristics of visual manipulation, which “hard-core” command-line enthusiasts sometimes dismiss or forget. Visual manipulation can be powerful in ways that CLIs just can’t allow. And vice-versa: the versatility, fine-grain control of lower-level / text-based interfaces make them easier to manipulate programmatically, or just literally (tweaking a numerical value directly or adding a custom attribute which would require more fastidious work in the GUI).

    1. Octavia Butler’s 1993 Parable of the Sower. The story follows a teenage girl seeking freedom from her deteriorating community in a future destabilized by climate change. Part of the reason it’s held up so well is that so many of Butler’s predictions have come true. But she wasn’t a fortune teller, she just did her homework.

    1. From the command line, you can navigate through files and folders on your computer:

      • pwd outputs the name of the current working directory.
      • ls lists all files and directories in the working directory.
      • cd switches you into the directory you specify.
      • mkdir creates a new directory in the working directory.
      • touch creates a new file inside the working directory.

      You can use helper commands to make navigation easier:

      • clear clears the terminal
      • tab autocompletes the name of a file or directory
      • ↑ and ↓ allow you to cycle through previous commands

    1. Second, that you see more and more laptops running things like i3 and dwm than back in 2010 -- and these tools haven't gotten any better in these ten years.

      vim tools/plugins on the other hand have gotten supremely powerful & weird & awesome.

      i actually really love this point. there's some semi-interesting things happening with Wayland desktops, some changes, but overall i think most Linux users have kind of subsisted in semi-stasis. and we don't need top down change, from our WMs, but we should be "growing-in" to our environments, getting better, and we i think the collaboration & exploration is still very sparse, few charts or maps or guides come out. the "here be dragons" edge has a lot of healthy exploration deep into it, but it's very lone territory, the charts rare & hard to understand, hard to follow. there's some radical elements of success & exploration, but there are so few enduring wayfinding systems, so little communalizing of exploration or growth.

    1. as a more experienced user I know one can navigate much more quickly using a terminal than using the hunt and peck style of most file system GUIs

      As an experienced user, this claim strikes me as false.

      I often start in a graphical file manager (nothing special, Nautilus on my system, or any conventional file explorer elsewhere), then use "Open in Terminal" from the context menu, precisely because of how much more efficient desktop file browsers are for navigating directory hierarchies in comparison.

      NB: use of a graphical file browser doesn't automatically preclude keyboard-based navigation.
