i did rsync and cron for years. now I switched to rsync and systemd timers 🙂🙂

there are two types of computer users

1. those who make backup
2. those who never had a hard disk crash

i use arch btw

this happened to me once in 6 years. it was my own fault.

ki kuse karch kbtw

oddly specific…

been on arch 7y now. I only needed a rescue disk once, and that was totally my fault

interesting how things change. i started out downloading scripts from vim.org before the github days. finally after 10years I got fed up and looked for a plugin manager. moved to packer.

a couple of years later, that went dead so I was forced to move again. now I’m on lazy.nvim which works well for me.

nvim decided to ship a default plugin manager. im dreading the day I have to migrate to that… (not cause it’s better/worse, but cause migrating is a pain)

I’d swapped control and capslock almost immediately and still got emacs pinky. when I found vim, I decided I liked it more than the escape meta alt control shift madness, and quit. the vim script was better than elisp, but not great. neovim lua is better than vim script, but still a little lacking.

i too have thousands of lines in my neovim config… but if I was starting today, the point and click editors are adequate enough that I might not invest the time.

that said, I just added two plugins into my config today 🙃🙃

interesting how things turned out today. no one will spend time configuring an editor anymore, and just use a pre-configured, possibly web based, default.

I started with ms dos edit/borland. moved to Linux and emacs/xemacs shortly after (this was when the two editors were split).

got emacs pinky and moved to vim. stayed with vim for 15+ years. finally moved to neovim (because of the Firefox extension firenvim)

how much media do u have on your jellyfin server?

i installed Linux on my kids laptops. that’s all they use right now. wife is on a Mac…

Bani Mufleh posted a photo of himself on Wednesday after a long treatment journey for an illness he contracted while imprisoned by Israel. The photo showed part of his brain skull removed as a result of surgeries he underwent while in Israeli detention.

it’s a lot of work to switch distributions, and I don’t recommend unless you have a really good reason!

kde is supported on Ubuntu… id suggest installing it and trying it out first. the bugs u state sound like desktop environment issues and not distribution bugs …

im not enabling my camera…

1. syncthing (file synchronization)
2. kdeconnect (file transfers, clipboard sharing, presentation remote)
3. deskflow (keyboard and mouse sharing)
4. warpinator (one off file sharing)
5. rsync / scp (one off file copies / backups)

oh lol. stopped watching the video when he said to protect yourself when browsing sign out of chrome

how about using a non spyware browser instead? e. g. Firefox

not doing something the billionaires find annoying will also pretty much guarantee you don’t get surveilled…

don’t bother distro shopping. if it’s mainstream and has updated packages the only thing you lose by changing distros is time. almost everything u want can be done in your distro.

I use arch, btw

one thing I remember about that movie. walmart grew so big it bought everything else. all stores are now Walmart. and all restaurants are taco bell.

wow. sorry to hear about your ex’s. can’t believe one embezzled 100k without consequences. that’s nuts

I fully believe social security will be worthless when I retire, and am saving for retirement outside that. but when I retire the planet will be a dessert wasteland with a few billionaires controlling the oasises. like every dystopian scifi movie
