Nope. 2000 is enough for me.

im setting it to 100.

let’s see what all the hubbub is about.

Indeed, Sir🫡.

The more the merrier cuz I edit some videos with ffmpeg and 2,000 lines alone are for that.

so you can recall the commands?

Correct.

yeah when i cant remember what the command i ran a month ago was 🤣

do you not create many aliases?

just curious

yes and i can become unreasonably upset if my shell history is ever prematurely truncated

you need a carefully crafted .inputrc for this to make sense
