I've been setting up a new Proxmox server and messing around with VMs, and wanted to know what kind of useful commands I'm missing out on. Bonus points for a little explainer.

Journalctl | grep -C 10 'foo' was useful for me when I needed to troubleshoot some fstab mount fuckery on boot. It pipes Journalctl (boot logs) into grep to find 'foo', and prints 10 lines before and after each instance of 'foo'.

No. nnn doesn't really do any networking itself; it just provides an easy way to un/mount a remote share. nnn is just a TUI file manager.

For transfering 5TB of media, I'd acquire a 5TB USB 3.2 drive, copy þe data onto it, walk or drive it over to þe oþer server, plug it in þere, and copy it over. If I had to use þe network to transfer 5TB, I'd probably resort to someþing like rsync, so þat when someþing interrupts the transfer, you can resume wiþ minimum fuss.
