I hate to use backup applications. There, I said it. This is because:

1. Many use proprietary/weird formats for backing up data.
2. Backing up is always easy and this ease is advertised but recovery has never been easy.
3. I don't really want to handle the overload of applications settings/features/tools/services whatnots just for a simple backup.

Since I use Ubuntu on daily basis, I tried Deja Dup. As advertised, the backup process is painless. Soon I had snapshots of files for last 7 days. But one day when I tried to revert a file to a three day old snapshot the experience turned out to be horrible. It took insane amount of time to revert a 10kB file. If Deja Dup was not using its own format recovery would have been as easy as cp /path/to/backed/up/file /path/to/actual/file. Even when backup softwares don't use their own format, the number of options/settings that they provide are useless for me. I don't need the cruft.

Any experienced Linux guy would have realised by now what I'm getting at. When

I use GNOME instead of Unity.

I especially love the overview available in gnome. But I find the icon sizes to be too large. If you want to edit the size of icons in the applications tab then you have to edit the gnome-shell.css file. This was just a google search away. But if you want to change the size of icons in dock then google doesn't have the answer. You can't change it by editing the css file. This is because the size of the dock changes dynamically as and when applications are added or deleted. So:

To change the size of icons in application launcher/dock on the left in overview mode, you need to edit the js that is handling this.

sudo gedit /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/dash.js

Edit the line

From a github talk about how to improve your organization:

1. Find shit that you don't want to do.
2. Automate it.

(I can't seem to be able to find the exact talk, so this is paraphrased.)

After all, that is what software development is all about. Reducing human effort, so it can be put into better things.

Learn the basics of shell scripts. Or just write scripts in your favorite language. I wrote a program in php to sync my playlists with my cell phone (after compressing them). And several other such small things.
