@nixCraft She's right, that 's' was quite lonely. Good patch.

Not that I need to hear the @atpfm guys complain some more about Apple’s feedback/radar system… but this definitely made me think about their conversation(s)

@nixCraft it took me a few seconds and now my wife thinks I've gone mad because I just can't explain to her why this is funny...

@nixCraft I've been using vim for sometimes and I love It, but it's been a while that I use a vim plugin in vscode for some daily cases.

@nixCraft Editors...there are more of them than flavors of religion.

We tend to stick with what works for us when we devoted the time to learn the weirdness unique to _that_ editor. For me it's DEC's TPU, that is EVE; only that's no longer an option for me. Now I'm wandering in the desert seeking a replacement. Nothing seems to measure up.

@nixCraft One of many reasons why I have such excellent control over what comes in and goes out of my connection. I could easily stop this from communicating with it's C2 servers easily. I was able to do the same with Luminati/Bright Data by blocking their domains and DigitalOcean IPs.

@nixCraft Should also clarify that this is NOT the NightOwl app that one would use with the NightOwl branded CCTV cameras.

Your first website is going to suck.
Your first blog post is going to suck.
Your first video is going to suck.
Your first app is going to suck.
...
.....
.
But if you keep trying 100 times, the 101st attempt will look like a work of Art.

TL;DR: Your first attempts may not be perfect, but keep trying. Perseverance is key.

@nixCraft To expand on this, "Comparison is the thief of joy." Don't rob yourself of the joy of creating something just because someone with years or decades of experience could "do it better". They walked in the same shoes as you did, the only way they got to where they are is because they didn't fear failure, they kept working hard, and most importantly they kept learning.

Nobody is born a "natural". We all have to crawl before we walk and walk before we can run.

@nixCraft so i should just keep abandoning projects until i get to 100?

@nixCraft false, my first website was a masterpiece! It had a spinning Wu-Tang logo gif that I made myself!

This is what IBM demands from open-source developers. Meanwhile, they cried about the RHEL source code and called those distro users freeloaders or parasites. Anyway, FLOSS devs don’t own anyone anything. If you need support, pay for the contract. The sad thing is IBM/RHEL said they need to pay for their devs, and when you take it free, it is hard to maintain enterprise distro, but when it comes to other FLOSS devs/projects, they don't think the same logic applies.

@nixCraft oh well at least the beancounter apologised

@nixCraft What is it with massive corporations accusing small devs of extortion at every turn? Why is victimhood so desirable to these types?

A lonesome #linux #sysadmin at upper management meetings be like ...

The first time this happened to me, I showed up to a formal event wearing sandals, a t-shirt proclaiming the greatness of Linux, and jeans. Despite my casual attire, I was allowed entry by the security team, who recognized me as being from the IT department and assumed I was there to ensure the computers were functioning properly. LOL. (1/2)

@nixCraft it's too true. There is a level of respect for the invite, but...

@nixCraft nano is a thing that pretends to be a text editor, and excuses itself with "but really tiny binary for embedded or restricted systems!!".

if you want a real text editor for actually restricted systems, there's ed.

@nixCraft

I have a love / hate relationship with nano. I love it because it is console based, and modeless unlike vi.

I hate hate hate those default key bindings. Solved that issue with .nanorc customizations.

Get ready; Google Adsense, which is used by the majority of websites out there, is introducing a beta feature called Offerwall (Ad gate). support.google.com/adsense/ans Once the threshold of 4 page views has been reached for any given user, the ad gate will appear everywhere. How generous of them and the website operators? Currently, this is optional, but it may become a permanent feature unless you turn off the ad blocker. #privacy #security

nixCraft 🐧

YouTube is about to restrict views (beta test) to 3 videos per day, or you need to disable Adblocker or buy YT premium. The battle between content creator and Ad blocker user just escalated further. The whole Google-backed-up Ad industry is going nuclear for sure. It is not just Google, but all other players like FB, Insta, Twitter, and others restricting access to content unless you allow Ad viewing.

@nixCraft i like bash. not a huge fan of zsh. tried fish but i didn't like how it felt. by default bash or sh is on a server or a new system usually. a lot of my tweaks are also for bash. (⁠๑⁠•⁠﹏⁠•⁠)

Edd

@nixCraft zsh and fish both seem to have more and better features than Bash, based on my limited experience with them; but Bash is my warm and cozy blanket and I'll stay snuggled under it thankyouverymuch

@nixCraft The real question is why wasn't Debian considered an "enterprise" distro all along?

@nixCraft You get extra points if you typed that using an Android keyboard with autocorrect still switched on.
