Radioactive Butthole

Trying to get my family to use signal and its like pulling teeth. “Dont you want to be on the same messaging app as everyone”, “sure but you’re the one with a problem”

Mate, I only have a problem because of you!

You can pry Vim from my cold, dead hands!

I really liked the client but HTML emails are a real pain in the ass.

AskJeeves!

Oh no! Anyway…

I have a server with a RAID-1 array, that makes daily, weekly, and monthly read only btrfs snapshots. The whole thing (sans snapshots) is sync’d with syncthing to two rPi’s in two different geographic locations.

I know neither raid nor syncthing are “real” backup solutions, but with so many copies of the files living in so many locations (in addition to my phone, laptop, etc.) I’m reasonably confident its a decent solution.

So don’t do that if that’s important to you. I don’t. Besides, home assistant has its own local voice commands if you want them.

Honest question, do you use Home Assistant?

You must be here from c/all. Home Assistant is a self-hosted application and stores all of its data locally on hardware you own and control. If there’s data mining, its because you put it there yourself.

D’oh!

It is a text editor from the 50s or 60s, so right off the nat you aren’t getting a product you’re at all familiar with. Its been a while since I cracked it open but from memory you can only view one line of code at a time. You have to specify the line of code that you want to view, the commands are esoteric, and there is no help available in the application itself. As I recall it was pretty much immediately replaced with better editors, such as og vi.

Its sort of like programming in sed. Sure, you can, but why?

From Wikipedia:

Known for its terseness, ed, compatible with teletype terminals like Teletype Model 33, gives almost no visual feedback, and has been called (by Peter H. Salus) “the most user-hostile editor ever created”, even when compared to the contemporary (and notoriously complex) TECO. For example, the message that ed will produce in case of error, and when it wants to make sure the user wishes to quit without saving, is “?”. It does not report the current filename or line number, or even display the results of a change to the text, unless requested. Older versions (c. 1981) did not even ask for confirmation when a quit command was issued without the user saving changes.

Do you… do you not?

Ed is the most user unfriendly text editor ever created.

No judgment, only curiosity.

That seems oddly specific.

I think it 's (Edit: started out) more about how Tim Buckley is terrible than anything. (Edit: Then from there it) sort of collapsed into its own joke. No one really knows or cares about the context anymore, its become a self-contained meme with no real meaningful connection to Tim, the original comic, or its message now.

So the devs disavowed the term and merged “they/them” into the docs, right?

Man they keep coming back to the litterbox thing, it really freaks them tf out. Even though its been debunked dozens of time, my conservative friends all swear they know a guy that knows a guy that swears he saw one for real!

Wow 😳

I dunno, I bought three pens and four inks that the internet assured me was high quality and none of them are as smooth as my pilot G2 fine tip.

Fountain pens are way cooler though.
