What's your "Oh fuck, that actually worked!" Linux moment that made you feel like a wizard? (lemmy.world)

For me, my high bar that I have yet to beat, was the time I pivoted the running OS (ubuntu) into RAM over SSH so I could unmount and image the boot drive without rebooting and loading a live USB (Which would have required a ticket with my provider to enable IPMI)

NixOS in a VM for a few weeks and made it how I liked, copied that VM to server to VNC in (laptop battery was suffering), kept customising until i had it nice.... and then when it came to wipe my laptop for the nixos setup, I was bit scared.

But low and behold, nixos-build switch and then it was all there, just like the VM. Fucking amazing.
