You can store SSH usernames, hostnames, keys, ports, and other options for each server you connect to. This saves you from typing in lengthy commands each time. Here is how to create the ssh config file for #Linux, #macos, #FreeBSD, and #Unix cyberciti.biz/faq/create-ssh-c

@nixCraft would adding:

```

also be useful?

@nixCraft just an fyi, Fastfetch is an awesome alternative to Neofetch that runs quite a bit quicker: github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastf

Congrats on the new computer! I've heard Thinkpads are great!

Q: Whats the object-oriented way to become wealthy?

A: Inheritance

@nixCraft The great thing about inheritance is that it gives you access to protected methods.

@nixCraft Still the Nvidia CEO claims “Coding is dead. Don’t bother to learn to code.”

@nixCraft how inactive Lemmy is comments-wise compared to Reddit is proof of this theory for me.

@nixCraft I didn't know that this was a disputed theory

@nixCraft You can’t say that, and at the same time brag that the #Linux Desktop is now over 4% ;)

@nixCraft Gotta protect that source code at all costs! 💪😂

atomdmac

@nixCraft To be fair, it sounds like they weren't protecting it very well so maybe that's an improvement?

yianiris

If they have been copying opensource they must protect it as to not be exposed as thieves.

Some of the biggest names in #opensource, #Linux, and #Unix world: Sebastian Hetze, Linus Torvalds, and Dennis Ritchie in conversation at the USENIX Annual Technical Conference in January 1997

I love the fact that Linus is wearing a Doom T-shirt with a signature of Dave Tayler from id Software in this picture.

@nixCraft Pretty cool. Honestly, I thought this was Bill Hicks, Anthony Kiedis, and Ricky Gervais at first.

If anyone, especially the Nvidia CEO, tells you not to teach your kids maths, science, coding, art, or personal finance. Ignore him and do the opposite of what he is saying. Teach your kids the skills they need to thrive. Embrace education for all kids. By encouraging critical thinking and a love of learning, you give your kids powerful tools to shape their futures, which also helps build strong nations.

Nvidia : Learn farming, not programming.

Alan Campbell, Слава Україні!

@nixCraft Aye, I did raise an eyebrow over the "Don't learn coding, kids, let AI do it". Noteworthy coming from someone rolling in cash from the AI train.

@nixCraft AI is doing nothing to help with the loud spinning fan noise and crashing proprietary driver.

Now that Uncle Sam declared c as illegal, you will code in Rust. Right? Let me tell you. Your code is still going to suck. It will still be buggy because your coding sucks.

>Hey, but at least it will have memory safety. Right?
That is correct, but With your coding standards, Rust can’t guarantee anything. You suck. Just Admit it, bro.

@nixCraft Finally all the C and C++ books I purchased on Humble over the years pay off!

@nixCraft I remember when ADA was a preferred language for NATO (?) contracts for the 'if it compiles, it works' rationale. So, good luck refactoring the kernel of choice to rust.

Reddit is going public via the IPO route. Last year, the CEO got $193 million, but moderators are not paid and expected to work free past IPO. Only some moderators and active users in the USA can apply for Reddit's initial public offering to buy stock at a special price. Most Reddit users are motivated by fake karma points and likes. Also, they banned all unofficial Reddit mobile clients. Meanwhile, the CEO profits while everyone provides free labor.

@nixCraft I expect that going public will show what a big, and quickly exploding bubble reddit actually is. I won't get anywhere near those shares. I will spend my money on more worthwhile investments.

@nixCraft
It has always puzzled me why anyone would post to (support) such an obnoxious platform with its unbelievably terrible interface.

Shell :fedora: :kde:

@nixCraft Frankly, if anyone still moderates reddit then it's most probably because of the power fantasy. Why would you fuck up your daily life to do clean up 12hrs a day?

What in the world is a Warp Terminal? Well, it is a terminal built using Rust that includes several features, such as AI and cloud connectivity. However, it is worth noticing that it is proprietary and a 100% closed source. Additionally, users are required to have an account to use it. It is also bloated by design. No, thank you. I'll stick with the Gnome Terminal or Terminal macOS app. No matter what they say, you don't need the "Wrap Terminal" with bells and whistles. #privacy #security

@nixCraft Even as a developer I'd say they should have made a setup.py or a pyproject.toml since it's a Python program, but they don't have any of these.

Ceremus

@nixCraft Textbook example of why you don't steer end users to a Github page. Github may be great for tech people and devs organizing a project, but the UI/UX is possibly the worst fscking thing for any regular person who doesn't know how to navigate Github.

Make a separate project page and put your binary releases on it for those people. If you're putting out software for end-users, you have to understand that audience.

@nixCraft How to move people to stop using password managers 😂

Blass Rose :unverified:

@nixCraft I swear some sites have this. Just an hour ago I tried to log into a website using my password manager: incorrect username/password. I went to a different page and hit login there. Got brought to the same login screen, but it let me in just fine this time!
