    The main benefit I see with using Make as a command runner is that it's a standard tool that's installed "everywhere". Even though these replacements seem nicer to use, I never fel…

    > Personally I dislike Git, and haven't found a git UI I like, so throw whatever you want on there. I am not going to like it, but not because I want something else. I might be a b…

    Being similarly frustrated with note taking apps lately (Android), I finally discovered one that's pretty amazing, so I'd like to mention it. It's called Zettel Notes [1]. It's all…

    I've been using Konsole and I only relatively recently found out how powerful its tab/split management is. You can drag and drop tabs between different windows, and you can drag an…

    I wish the bug where the copy option is randomly greyed out even though there is text to copy got finally fixed. It's been driving me insane.

    I haven't noticed any change just now, but Google search results felt pretty bad for me for a while, even for technical questions. I tried replacing a lot of my searches with ChatG…

    Was just about to mention this. Also, just to add to this, even though it's a zig talk, it's not really the main focus of the talk. I enjoyed it and I don't even know zig.

    A build generator for a build generator? Oh boy. This is starting to feel like the JavaScript ecosystem.

    I did try it a couple times in the past, it just never quite felt like home. I don't know why, I couldn't give you an objective reason as to why I didn't like it. I probably should…

    I rely on an unlimited bash history and fzf to fuzzy search through it. Commands that get too long and complicated might get thrown into a simple bash script, often quite literally…

    I'm still torn about whether I want to stick with Ubuntu a little longer or move onto Debian/Fedora. I've been a happy Ubuntu user for a long time, but each package that gets conve…

    I'd sometimes use my Android phone as a webcam by running an app like "IP Webcam" that exposes a video stream of the camera feed and then using the video stream as input for ffmpeg…

    I don't want to come off as overly harsh, but calling this "Virtual Camera for Linux written in Python" seems a bit too generous considering all this seems to do is ask you for an …

    I recently found out that git rebase has a --exec option that allows you to execute a shell command for each commit. If the command fails, the rebase pauses and allows you to make …

    Thing is, with other providers, all I'm getting is email. With Google, I'm getting a bunch of services, all interconnected, and any of them could potentially get my entire Google a…

    As much as I used to love Gmail, the past few years I've been getting increasingly more afraid to be reliant on it. I've seen way too many fuck ups from Google where people randoml…

    I've been using Sublime Text to do this. I use VS Code/Neovim for my programming, but Sublime Text is still way too convenient as a notepad to keep around, one of the main reasons …

    What terrible experience did you have? I've been daily driving Debian/Ubuntu on multiple machines for years, and I can't complain.

    The local machine would be what's keeping it from firing, not what's making it fire.

    The manual checking in part seems like a lot of hassle, even if it's only once every 2 months or so. If I wanted to have something like this, I'd want it to be as set-and-forget as…

    I still use pip + venv for everything and I don't really see a reason to change. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I understand it, tools like poetry aren't really anything "off…

    All that's needed for a blog site to be mobile-friendly is to just not actively break it. Plain html articles with no css read great on mobile, e.g. http://motherfuckingwebsite.com…
