Any flavor of vi, Gnu Screen, lrzsz, bash with the usual cli tools (awk, sed, grep, tail, head, rev, cat, tac, and recently jq and yq). Also openssh client. Some flavor of netcat is also crazy useful too. This is a good home for me to do my thing.

Edir: oh, and git. How did I forget git?!

cpio is way worse

Adding Bluetooth to a vacuum cleaner does make it suck more.

To this day I still don’t upgrade OSes in general and I even evangelize “rip and replace” professionally so loudly that it’s now enforced via policy at my workplace. This must be where my ethos for this practice originated.

I think it was SLS. I know it took a pile of floppies. At some point I made a tape to make it easier to install. Why I needed to install that often eludes my aging memory but those experiences still pay to this day.

I took my first dose of Vyvanse at 46 and realized what silence actually sounds like. Then I took a nap.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane. And in no way do I mean this as a dis for anything that followed. A masterpiece is simply just that.

I recommend Charmin Ultra Strong.

I don’t see it.

Terraform… Oh wait, Nevermind. I need to start switching to OpenTofu now.

Ext4 is the safe bet for a beginner. The real question is with or without LVM. Generally I would say with but that abstraction layer between the filesystem and disk can really be confusing if you’ve never dealt with it before. A total beginner should probably go ext4 without LVM and then play around in a VM with the various options to become informed enough to do something less vanilla.

LOWER DECKS! LOWER DECKS

That’s about 300% better than my average!

Terminal plus Gnu Screen plus vim makes the BEST IDE /for me/.

Who dis?

A haunted House meets a corn maze. I love it!

It’s an old code but it checks out

I would argue this is only for apps you CAN trust. Bad actors gonna act badly.

Yeah, imagine a company being so dug into ruining the user experience.
