    Not as convenient as a bash-only thing, but you might want to look at atool

    My favorite is just aunpack <any-kind-of-archive>, which does what you posted but with some extra nice stuff.

    For example, if it's just an archive of files on the root level, it will create a folder first and dump them in there, instead of littering your current folder.

    I would say no, for servers if there's anything repetitive it usually gets automated, so autojump wouldn't be useful. For other people's computers I wouldn't know their paths anyway. Dangerous...

    Dangerous one-letter aliases on the other hand...

    If the only criteria is "more productive", then: (by a long shot)

    source /etc/profile.d/autojump.bash

    (autojump)

    Second place:

    export HISTSIZE=500000
export HISTFILESIZE=1000000
export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups:erasedups

    (history long enough to keep all my frequently used commands)

    Third:

    alias grep="grep --color=auto"

    (highlights matches, with color, when grepping)

    Context: I'm at attempt #6 of running IPv6 (both as a "client" and as a "server").

    My guess is because it's just not prime-time ready, setting up IPv6 is straightforward, but then you run into all these weird states where technically it's working but in practice you might as well be down completely.

    I'll just give one recent example:

    you run your service on both ipv4 and ipv6, the client has an ipv6 connectivity problem (and there's plenty of those... especially on pppoe), they can't access your api endpoint anymore

    • you open your browser, it works
    • you try curl, it works
    • client must be stupid...
    • in reality, curl/chrome have a feature where if the ipv6 version doesn't respond in $short_time, it automatically fallbacks to ipv4 (the requests library in python doesn't)

    For every attempt, there was something silly (at least in hindsight) that broke everything -- so even if I reaaaaally want to have IPv6 support, just... no. I don't have time to be the guinea pig.

    I guess there's so many ways you can say "I'm on my period", it's probably just easier to send an emoji.
