@nixCraft I had it in college and it was hands-down the best and most effective way to really screw something up…until I leaned C which allowed me to screw lots of things up at the same time.
It’ll teach you how a computer works though.

@nixCraft I feel the wording needs "eve-e-e-entually" somewhere in there. :blobfoxsmirk:​

@nixCraft *cracks open Ghidra* time to fork this proprietary kernel blob

@nixCraft happy 32 years birthday, "just a hobby" 😘 😆

@nixCraft 'Won't be big and professional '....

Ik blijf dat elke keer weer een briljante zij vinden.

@nixCraft Actually, it was not an email but a usenet posting.

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

@nixCraft @alice

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 that is so amazing

@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.

@nixCraft @_g_baer_ Das Java-Logo ist die Kirsche auf der Sahne 👌

@nixCraft whoever made this idea happen i love you

@bbartel, add this to your session?

@nixCraft Damn.

@nixCraft apparently it is possible to exit vim

RIP Bram 😥

@nixCraft 😔

@nixCraft "You plug in the cat5 cable right-" Looks down, "Oh I see you've already got one plugged in."

@nixCraft damn, this photo so old that's a ball mouse

@nixCraft No mouse interface anymore

@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!

@nixCraft oh well at least the beancounter apologised

@nixCraft
That's a *very* offensive reply!

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

@nixCraft Оу, поздравляю, с почином, батенька. Не забурей там, когда станешь Илоном Цукером.

@nixCraft Depends, were they running Asahi?

@nixCraft 😂👌

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 ngl, i think Zelensky is adorable

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

@nixCraft
Nano nano nano nano
Hakase hakase hakase

@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.

😀😀 miserable, he is not far away from this btw as development

@nixCraft Who? Is that Max Headroom?

@nixCraft
Well it doesn't have hashtags, search, also commerce hostile. Maybe he's right for the wrong reason 🤷‍♂️

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, that’s not enough tape.

@nixCraft
A Zoom meeting without a kitty cameo is incomplete

@nixCraft no!! Release the cat and cover the webcam

@nixCraft I wish, but not on ThinkPad. I keep the serious look for this machine :blobcatcool:

@nixCraft

@nixCraft Yeah, every time I have a laptop, it's covered in stickers. Both old and new here in the photo )

@nixCraft #bash is like #c #programming in the shell world!

@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•⁠﹏⁠•⁠)

@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

Good news for non binary people

@nixCraft waited thirty years for this video… 😎
