Let's see.. Software I am thankful for.. there is a fair amount of such. Anki - Software, that helped me build up habit, and made learning language an easier task Emacs - Wonderful text editor, made interacting with system a bliss. Nix/NixOS - Distro, that made updates a painless, and fearless task. I love it. ZFS - Filesystem that I love, for it has many wonderful features, and they all just work. (Also cute compres…

Re: Software I’m thankful for (2021)
#442Here is my quick list. - Linux + GNU: My servers would never have been the same without them. - Emacs: So many varied use cases over the years. I can type in Telugu (my mother tongue) and Devanagari so seamlessly ... bliss! - LaTeX: From papers to books to presentations. - Helix: A very recent discovery that replaced Vim for me in just a week! - Kitty terminal: I no longer use GNU screen or tmux locally. - Go, Ruby,…

#445Strangely enough: Windows. Yes, I fucking hate Windows 10/11 for several laundry lists' worth of reasons, but you know what? At the end of the day, Windows is the only desktop OS that enables me to use my computer to do the shit I need or want to do. So long as that fundamental principle as a tool is not violated, I will forever be thankful for Windows regardless what criticism I might have for it.
Windows is a very good operating system. Windows haters don't hate for technical reasons, but for religious or political reasons. And I like Microsoft. Microsoft makes some products, that's it. Not experiences, or promises of freedom. They are software products, with problems, qualities, end.
When it doesn't gets in the way, yes. Unfortunately this is happening less and less with every release. If i would not be forced from my employer i would stay away from Win 10 as much as possible.

#446Fossil. It is hands down the best version control and code hosting system out there, I wish more people would use it.
Gitea... I don't like git, but the fact that anyone can spin up their own server with ease and minimal resources and start collaborating is wonderful.
OSM.
Qutebrowser. Yeah I know it's buggy and can be janky and QT and all that, but a full featured keyboard focused minimal UI browser with vim like keybinds, there's a lot I'd tolerate for that.
swaywm. I finally have a workstation optimized for being a workstation. I can't wait for the day we all realize that composable graphical applications are doable with a tiling graphical interface.
btop, a really good system visualizer in the terminal.
RSS/Atom. Not really software per se, a specification, but it's great to be able to pull information as you need it.

#449I'd have to add Pi-hole to this list. Anytime I browse the web on another network, I'm reminded just how much crippling ad garbage it's sparing me.

#450Stuff I'm thankful for, in no particular order. None of these are particularly unique to me, nor are they obscure and hipster, they're just stuff I have found myself really thankful for. powerlevel10k because it makes adding custom sections to my shell prompt really straightforward. https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k terraform because I have a job wrangling it lol asdf because it manages versions of software fo…
Breaks past one month, unfortunately. I think, you want to take the difference and divide by 86400 to get the number of days. Then take the difference modulo 86400 to get seconds in a day, and convert that to hours (minutes:seconds) via strftime string. Proof of concept: 1> (let ((tdiff (- (time) (read (command-get-string "git log -1 --format=%ct"))))) (match (@days @secs) (trunc-rem tdiff 86400) `(@{days}d @(time-st…
Thank you for the bug report and PR ;) I'll look at fixing it with your code.
