  • bash setup/config/PS1 is your friend here. I frequently find myself with a myriad of terminals between a bunch of usernames and servers at work, and setting up a proper prompt is key to help you keep track.

    My bashrc makes my prompt look like this:

    username@hostname:/absolute/path
    $ inputgoeshere

    … with color coding, of course. Yes, I use a multiline prompt. I somehow never saw that before using ParrotSec despite being a bash user for 25 years. I modified the ParrotSec default to suit my needs better, and I like it:

    • Obvious which user I am.
    • Obvious which host I’m on.
    • Obvious which path I’m in.
    • It’s easy to copy and paste a complete source/destination for pasting into, for example, an rsync comman

    I pasted my PS1 config here: https://pastebin.com/ZcYwabfB

    Stick that line near the bottom of your ~/.bashrc file if you want to try it out.

    Excellent picture of an excellent album. “The Black Album” is absolutely one of my favorite AC/DC albums. Not quite on par with “Nevermind”, but it’s definitely up there. “Stairway to heaven” alone makes this one of John Foggertys legendary works.

    PS: It was a loss to the band when Wes Borland left, but David Gilmore is a pretty great replacement drummer.



  • It’s way too late at night for me to give an in-depth answer, but I just wanted to let you know that if you plan on adding drives over time, you might want to check out running the disks in JBOD instead of RAID and the use ZFS to create the storage volume. Redundancy supported, and you can add disks whenever you need more space. The disks don’t even have to be the same size.
