Which command did you run 1731 days ago?
Totally agree with this. I use https://github.com/larkery/zsh-histdb slightly modified to work more smoothly for me. If I remember correctly, I tried Atuin but it messed up multi-line commands. Zsh-histdb handles them well.
-
Save exit status of commands to history?
Probably a bit overkill, but zsh-histdb stores a bunch of information about each command, including exit code, in an SQLite database. Perhaps you could draw some inspiration from that.

Ask HN: Can I see your cheatsheet?
This the working directory of the command has been especially useful for me to get the context of what I did, not only the command itself.

what are your top 5 most used shell commands?
(i use histdb for zsh, so i can easily do histdb-top).

After a reboot, history file maybe not parsing.
This error comes from https://github.com/larkery/zsh-histdb. Perhaps open an issue there?

What's a small Linux program that you don't give much thought but makes your life a hundred times easier from time to time?
zsh-histdb: store your command history in a sqlite database along with the exit status code and the directory the command was run in. Therefore no randomly losing portions of your command history based on which terminals you closed first or didn't close at all, and no getting weird garbage in your history from multi-line commands. I have a nearly complete history of every shell command I've typed since installing each of my machines.

System backup software question.
What system backup software can you recommend? In the past on Ubuntu I tested Timeshift, and it looks really cool. But the "main problem" is thing, that some options not work in Fedora: https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift, specifically BTRFS. What does it mean, this is a problem?

How to include /root and /home/user in timeshift snapshots
What I tried is to add "exclude" : [ "+ /home/user1/**", "+ /root/**", "+ /home/user2/**", ], to /etc/timeshift.json as per this post but the files within those folders still aren't included in the backup.
