Forside14595yAlso, putting two of the most used shortcuts ("copy stuff" and "fking die already") on the same keys, has never been the smartest idea.

@balze42 He was downloading a docker container, first image took an hour and a half for 35GB, though that image needed another image that is 25GB, guess who has to download them all over again (or maybe the second one only if I'm not mistaken)
-
What kind of Docker image requires 60 gb? Sounds like a misuse of Docker. You got some DB data baked in?
-
@NoToJavaScript Could happen on everything where a Unix-Shell runs, including Windows (WSL)
-
@NoToJavaScript that's, in this context, like saying that its windows' problem when a user accidentally switches the computer off.
This was my own, human, error. -
Could always do this
wget "http://..." -c &
The ampersand detaches the process from the terminal automatically.
Pressing ctrl + c will just move to next line but won't destroy your running process. -
@iSwimInTheC or just open a screen session. Especially over ssh, do everything in a screen. If you run out of time or your ssh client closes you just deattach and can reattach
-
nighter625yUse screen will not help if you accidentely press ctrl+c when you are in your screen, it will still end your program/script. Guess you can use bash trap to catch se signal for ctrl+C or just set your terminal as read-only
-
toor1285yBeen there, done that. I generally background stuff in a tmux session and detach it. It'll run, save the output, and allow you to check the progress as well.
You can also set the session to readonly as well if you want. -
@mellowmymind I'd never use a proprietary system developed by a company which is integrated within the bigges mass surveillance network ever created (by the NSA)
Yes, I'm aiming at you, Apple :) -
I feel like if we’re gonna have cry rooms for people, this type of thing should be a reason for priority access to it.
-
julianmd5095yTasks that take longer than 30 seconds to complete should be either CTRL-Z'd or started with a & at the end or with a nohup in the beginning. No exceptions. Life's going to be easier.
-
Forside14595y@linuxxx not yet :) but I expect a load of unconvincing reasons why a Mac is better than everything else :p
-
@julianmd ctrl+z pauses the process. Sending a continue signal might or might not work.
-
@linuxxx If you have control over a program or script doing important stuff, adding signal handlers might be an option.
When downloading with wget or curl there might be a chance that the download can be continued, though.
(Although I bet you know all this already 😉) -
@Yamakuzure I’ll just use something with GUI which has a button to do whatever I want.
If GUI doesn’t exist, I’ll spend 1 hour creating it just to NOT use command line.
And for 99.99% of needs there is a GUI. Even for Linux : I’m so happy with Webmin. Never again I’ll touch a BIND files by hand -
laceytech755yOh harsh! This happened to us not long ago. Luckily it was an import so we removed everything from the file that had been processed and ran the task again. I feel your pain!
-
@linuxxx but if it weren't for the NSA there'd be no one to watch me take off my pants and jacket. I like to say keywords to get flagged right before I smile in the camera and pop peanuts
-
@Plasticnova Although I get that this is sarcasm (at least, I hope), if you really don't mind giving that data to world's most reckless and non-law abiding spy agency, I'd advice you to be submitted to a mental hospital :)
-
@linuxxx obvious joke was obvious, but if you think avoiding Apple products keeps you safe from the NSA...
FUCK
PRESSED CTRL+C IN THE WRONG TERMINAL
BYE BYE HOURS OF WAITING 😞
