  • This is an excellent answer and I wish I knew all of this when starting to use archlinux. “Arch does not support partial upgrades” is something you can read everywhere, but it’s rare to find such a good explanation of what exactly a partial upgrade is, and which commands lead to it.

    I only learned about all of this when I got into some broken state by randomly running pacman commands.

    Everyone, be like this guy. This guy explains stuff well. Newbies need stuff explained.








  • Sorry for being silly here, I’ve been kind of out of the loop with recent technology, what exactly is “passkeys”? I remember reading something when it was announcement, but all I saw was lots of buzzwords and vague “it’s new and it’s very good” claims.

    Is it like, an alternative authorization method? Is it a second factor after I type my login/password, or does it replace passwords? What does it look like, from users perspective?

    I comment the commands that I want and then use vim to remove ones without comments.

    For example, I run:

    longandannoyingcommand -f1 -f2 -f3 # keep, does something useful
    

    Usually comment explains what the command does so I can find it by description using fzf history search. And then you can easily find all lines that contain (or do not contain “# keep”) in your history to remove or keep.
