Based on this, I discovered that `ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no my_host` will do it all in one command. Instead of checking the host key, it will just add it to `known_hosts` without asking you. This is nice because it accepts aliases for `my_host` that are defined in `~/.ssh/config`. (more) |

How to bypass SSH destination host key fingerprint check? When you first connect to a host, `ssh` asks you about saving its fingerprint. If you do, on subsequent connections it will check the fingerprint and refuse to connect if it changed. I get that this is a security measure in case someone tries to impersonate my server. However, it is also very a... (more) |

A: How to list the first x files in each directory There's three parts to this: 1. Find all directories (in your case, sounds like you want depth=3 only) 2.

Are NixOS and Guix analogous projects? From what I can tell, both NixOS and Guix are built around a package manager which, instead of installing package into the "common environment" as is traditional, isolates them to mitigate issues arising from various dependency/version conflicts.

I don't have time for a full answer, but basically it's:
1. Find the `.desktop` file for the app (see https://linux.codidact.com/posts/289648)
2. Edit the file's `Exec` field etc.
3. Note the difference between `.desktop`s under system paths like `/usr/share` and user paths under `~`. (more) |
