I don’t have much to offer today- the weather has been awful, and I haven’t got much accomplished. So, have a tip for obtaining a list of local Linux device names which I did to simplify my own life:
%ip link | awk '/^[0-9]/ {print $2}'
This will give you a list of your network devices from Linux’ iproute2, in a similar fashion:
lo:
enp0s25:
wlp2s0:
virbr0:
virbr0-nic:
I use this with simple logic to obtain a local device name when I’ve done a Linux installation through a virtual terminal which replaces the current system (generally through QEMU), and the device names are not static, or even similar. There are ways around this, but considering I only need to use this once per system, it’s a welcome addition to my daily “spin up†regiment.
