• Bryan Cantrill has a lightning talk on why tail -f can be quite tricksy (hint: be careful about truncating a file!)

• I don"t know what you're talking about but I liked this video because of your voice

• I love the tail command

• Finally, a linux command i actually use regularly

• Tail is a top tier command, but I would have loved to see the difference between the f and F flags explained. I've burnt myself using -f instead of -F before 🙁

• This is my favourite video

• I call foo-ey on it being your favorite.

• Makes me wonder if head -f also exists and works if you prepend to a log file 😛

• The RobertElderSoftware is my favorite youtube channel.

  I watch the RobertElderSoftware youtube channel to learn about linux commands, and how to use them

  In this video, robert teaches how to use the tail command, but you can watch his other videos to learn about other commands

  You can also subscribe to the channel, and never miss out a lesson about a linux command

  This way, you will know every linux command and be the king of linux commands

• Actually took me a while to figure out that these videos are ai generated.

• tail -f has been a godsend throughout the years to set up a workspace without a graphical environment – in the context of an OS paradigm where a tonne of things are files it's very helpful!
