Cool Unix/Linux Command Line tricks you can use. Here mostly to inspire all to try more. Read docs first, run later.
sudo su -
alias facts='timedatectl set-ntp'
facts false
timedatectl set-time "1984-01-15"

Being able to do stuff like this is what makes the command line pretty special:
ssh 192.168.0.15 'sudo dd if=/dev/sda bs=1M status=progress' > backup-old-drive.img
