During these interesting times it has certainly been a productive one for me. But after this fuckup i need to take a break. Also came to the reallisation i rely too much on Ctrl-r in terminal. I just needed to find that one long weird rsync thingy that i use once a quarter year...

:~$ history -c | grep rsync | grep...

I need a break. I royally fucked up now and i cannot be bothered right now to type that 25 lines of escaped backslashed one-liner rsync thing...

isn't there an option for grep to print surrounding lines?

Cant you just cron this?

Unfortunately no because it is a one off thing for a customer in case shit hits the fan, and also this customer is paranoid on the wrong things of IT. It's the type of company owner that is spooked about all the "hacking and spying of goverments" but gladly clicks on an add for penis enlargement methods that are esoterical and gets clickbaited...

He refuses to have something like configmgmt on his company computers so everything needs to be done manually. they ahve an "IT guy" over there, who is the owner's son, and is - added to exactly his fathers traits - also enormoisly arrogant, like a little donald trump in his teenager years. Everytime that fucking dipshit changes things making me have to request everything anew.

On the plus side, that owner gives me good buck, and it just happens once every quarter because of their fuckups, but they trade so much in meat processing they are fine with it...
