Maybe I have my bash/readline vi mode configured specially to do this, but if I want to delete the entire line and type a new one (from anywhere in that line), I do something simpl…

Is that the blue windy or the red windy? I can never keep them straight!

I'm not positive, but I think they've already run that playbook once or twice. They are IN the cycle.

Last things first: on my phone I only run syncthing "on demand", so I can't actually answer your question. Maybe someone else can chime in? From the little I've brushed up against …

Adding to the many other great uses of termux already here, the most useful lately for me is running Syncthing. After the "drama" with the Syncthing android client (my understandin…

Not commenting on the larger gist of the comment, only: > I've been having RSI pain on my right hand due to using mouse too much and in un-ergonomic positions If you can, try using…

Similar to a sibling comment, and perhaps not really applicable (since this isn't a company making something people can buy...), but the MNT Reform is amenable to fitting a custom/…

I also type "startx". Never saw the point of a display manager (which might be my own shortcoming!).

I read it to mean the author used "desktop environments" prior to that, so KDE or Gnome, as opposed to a "bare" window manager.

On digital ocean (at least) you can upload your own images and boot droplets directly from them. In the past I've used a script called "alpine-make-vm-image" to run alpine images i…

Has "dc" the calculator fallen this far out of favor?! :) > dc is the oldest surviving Unix language program. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dc_%28computer_program%29 I used "dc" (t…

One way I compare the git to jj transition (if it happens, or for whom it happens) to the svn to git transition is: branching in svn was awful. It was heavyweight and you were sign…

(To address sibling comment: If I were colorblind, I would lead with that in any conversation about syntax highlighting; I am not colorblind.) To answer the question: it's a feelin…

Not the person you're replying to, but when they said "extraction" I believe they're talking about extracting pages from a PDF (like "splitting" the PDF apart, page-wise), not text…

I wouldn't argue that the vim default (of not allowing backspace beyond where you entered insert mode) is ergonomic, but I do prefer and exclusively use the default vim behavior. I…

To each their own. I quit using syntax highlighting about 10 years ago and won't ever go back (been programming for 25 years, vim/neovim user for 24 years). I just like it better, …

To save anyone else the search: mini.nvim site: https://nvim-mini.org/mini.nvim/ repo: https://github.com/nvim-mini/mini.nvim

From TFA it sounds like they didn't do semver prior to this release but now will: > What versioning strategy will Immich use? > > Starting with v2.0.0, we will now follow semantic …

Make that three :). Alpine is my "daily driver" on my laptop. I have several very long lived cloud VMs running it too. I know it has the reputation as "just" a container OS, but it…

If your update is the simplest version, a "git pull" -- then you're incorporating commits that have not "stewed" long enough for anyone to be burned. You might win the lucky ticket…

"Lynx is the text web browser": https://lynx.invisible-island.net/ Must be a generational thing :)

I'd describe myself the same as you did in your first paragraph here, and wanted to say that with LSP, your "rename function call" example in vim (well, I switched to neovim some y…
