    Add a pager like `less` (e.g. `$ projects | less`). And `exit` should close the page.

    Arch. Using it for 4 years, both at home and at work (also have Raspberry Pi 4 under Arch Linux ARM). I'm a bit perplexed why it is considered less stable than "your typical Linux …

    Haven't watched much of anime, and haven't watched any for more than a decade. But back then I had huge impression from Azumanga Daioh. Nothing special in plot, just a year in the …

    There is no arguing here against eating stuff that has meat-like properties (nutritional content and perhaps even taste). The issue is whether we have to torture billions of mammal…

    Lions, sharks and birds, even if they have consciousness, do not have intelligence. They cannot choose whether to cause harm/pain/death to anyone or not. Humans do have that capabi…

    From Kazakhstan here. Didn't use cash literally for a couple of years. AT ALL. Almost everything can be paid via mobile app (though basically only one bank - Kaspi bank). Products …

    Absolutely. I forgot to mention - at around the same time I bought open earbuds (Samsung buds Live, to be concrete) which I found comfortable - they don't block external sound and …

    For about a year already, I use ASMR audio/visuals when I go to bed (strange, not even mentioned in the referenced post). I found they help me falling asleep (though, probably, not…

    For me, Bram is probably among names like Tarkovsky, Stravinsky and Attenborough, who greatly affected the way I see/feel life. R.I.P.

    Zotero is awful. It's heavyweight - in fact, a whole separate browser only to manage my bibligraphy (ever tried to use it with ~10k items?). Provides no CLI interface (to automate …

    Was re-watching The Limits of Control by Jim Jarmusch recently, and realised it had a reference to Tarkovsky's Stalker in the scene with the "cinema lady". "The best films are like…

    Are there real-life examples where "traditional non-safe" sudo/su lead to problems?

    Lua seems to be widespread in games, but in fact is a very nice tool to make day-to-day apps user-extendible (with neovim and mpv being a couple of examples).

    I have remapped caps lock on my keyboard to Esc, so it works everywhere, not only for Vim. Very convenient, symmetric to Enter. I hardly ever need caps lock as such.

    > Does it suck to maintain almost 200GB of audio files? Yes. In what way does is suck? I have about 1TB of audio files on local disks, which I manage with beets + mpd. No troubles …

    It's just too often that what they say disagrees with what they do, and too often that they declare reforms. They promised the freedom of speech, and yet, right now, before the pre…
