If you have a keyboard that uses the Fn key to repurpose the arrow keys (e.g. Fn+Up maps to PgUp), it's irritating because the Fn key is on the left side of the keyboard so you have to use two hands. Here's a bit of #Nix config that maps Right-Ctrl in the context of those kinds of keystrokes to Fn so you can use one hand. https://github.com/mcdonc/.nixconfig/blob/master/common.nix#L127

80 columns ought to be enough for anybody.

My primary gig of googling "bash for loop", and my secondary job that I can't remember now are still in play but I've now started a third side gig googling "nvidia hybrid mode thinkpad p52 sleep doesnt work linux".

"W", check your privilege. You're the only letter that isn't a single syllable.

"I hate AI" is the new "ban all cars."

The "age" encryption and decryption tool is nice because it allows you to use SSH keypairs to encrypt and decrypt, and your team already has and understands those. Unfortunately, "age" for decrypt doesn't behave like "ssh" for login. It won't automatically loop over private keys in ~/.ssh for you to try decrypting using each, you have to be explicit about the identity file. It also doesn't communicate with an SSH agent. Somebody, please get to convincing the age folks it should do both. :)

It gobsmacks me that the leadership of open source communities who make a big deal out of "safety" choose to deploy DIscourse. Discourse is a fucken stalking machine.

Everything you trust and respect was created by someone with a passion who did it in contravention of the rules.

Liberals have made "dude" a slur apparently.
