it’s the fastest way to get crews for your navy

none. you dont need a DE, you can just run a tiling wm and some terminals…

yes, but old people can get over that and just stop giving a fuck and accept that they’re weird now. it must be liberating.

oh yes it made the noise.

are you using ntfs-3g or the older shittier ntfs driver?

makes sense, since we’re on youtube for the ads

nah, we still have winter. i know this because it still gets dark.

we’ll still have four seasons: summer, hellfire, second summer, moist dark.

what do you mean the output doesnt keep the LF? what LF?

ps also has -u and -U switches to filter by users

vidir is similar

there’s also rename (the perl one, not the shit one). i have fond memories of renaming albums with rename 's/(\d+)/sprintf "%02d", $1/e' so they’d ls in the correct order

i rely on this in my job. if i really need it, i’ll be using it often enough that it’ll always be in ^R distance :)

mmmmmm <3

no, tmux is a newer screen. some of us havent switched cos we’re too lazy i guess? i think the common wisdom is that it’s better. i havent tried cos i already know enough of screen and it’s fine for me

• atools, which includes als, aunpack, apack. so you can stop caring about the kind of archive and just unpack it. it also saves you from shit archives that have multiple files/dirs in their root.
• perl -e / perl -lne / …
• units
• bc - a calculator that’s actually good
• pass - the only non-shit password store tool i’ve found so far. no gui, uses gpg and git to do the encrypting and storage/sharing
• alias lr='ls -lrth' - so you can easily find the newest file, cos that’s frequently what you want
• unip - my script to look up things in the unicode db
• find -type f -exec xzgrep 're' {} + - because xzgrep cant do -r

oh yeah, and for the shell readline, alt-b, alt-f, ctrl-w, ctrl-u, ctrl-k, ctrl-a, ctrl-e

doesnt actually do anything on gnu rm, and hasnt in like a decade. but yeah, dont do it.

i used to recommend linux to people. but that also meant that i became their tech support person.

i no longer advise anyone to use anything. i just want them to not ask me to troubleshoot their stuff.

i’m going by hearsay here, i dont know what school is like in the US. i know what a single school was like in about 1998, but that doesnt tell me much about the rest of the country.

but from what i hear, the US has security gates and cops in schools, and the cops regularly brutalize and arrest the kids for random bullshit.

then they’ll put a cop next to each one of them and the cop will shoot the kids who come near it. that’ll fix it.

bring into fashion unix tools saying more things like “lo”.

lo! alas! but soft!

the peter jackson LOTR movies already dont feel like LOTR. every single entry in this “series” has felt less and less like LOTR.

we’re waaaay into marvel slop level territory here.
