I find a lot of good content on Reddit, but its different now as opposed to the early days. The good content used to be on Reddit. Now its not, its on one of 6 other sites, and Reddit is just the ad service they're posting on. I am sick of the in joke comments and inane comments like "this". I want discussion.

Reddit no longer has that.

He has no idea what that word means. The word he is looking for rhymes with needy.

Of course they did. There was money to be made. Who cares if its pennies, they got their pennies.

Never ending everything. Just go go go this week already. It's been a long couple of weeks since last Friday... Always thinking it'll take me "no time at all" to do something, and three days later.. Wtf, why am I still working on the same thing?!

Need more time this week.

Good analysis, I agree and understand.

Yep. And you could even be 'extra' and do cool effects with compiz et all. Fancy got noticed by others.

The most used one I have is Kill-Sticky. Works well but annoying to have to click my bookmarklet every time I visit a stackexchange site now with the google login crap AND the cookie banner. Else I can't read the actual damn content of the site.

Instead of outsourcing to other countries, most of those jobs have been literally outsourced to robots.

Good, those are exactly the types of jobs that should be automated by robots. Not AI generated art and creative.

Go-dAmn Sachs is wrong often, but in this I think they're on point. Learned from the Crypto insanity.

 

Too good NOT to share.

My brothers and sisters in Christ I want you to know that I care about your souls enough to share these truths with you:

  • You don’t need JavaScript to make a web page.
  • You don’t need JavaScript to write styles.
  • You don’t need JavaScript to make an animation.
  • You don’t need JavaScript just to show content.
 

Hell of an exploit chain, really interesting to dissect.

 

For example, things you do often but not often enough to make a muscle memory? On Linux systems with Bash, I just use bash aliases. If I do it more than once, It gets an alias or a script; cause I won't remember next time. Example of my current desktop aliases :

alias fuck='sudo $(history -p \!\!)'
alias hstat='curl -o /dev/null --silent --head --write-out '\''%{http_code}\n'\'''
alias ls='ls -la --color=auto'
alias pwgen='< /dev/urandom tr -dc "_A-Z-a-z-0-9\#\+=\$" | head -c${1:-15};echo;'
alias rsync='rsync -ah --info=progress2'

And in my bashrc I have the following settings and functions which come in handy when heads down in the terminal:

# append to the history file, don't overwrite it
shopt -s histappend

# for setting history length see HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE in bash(1)
HISTSIZE=1000
HISTFILESIZE=2000
HISTTIMEFORMAT="%Y-%m-%d %T "

####
function stopwatch() {
    local BEGIN=$(date +%s)
    echo Starting Stopwatch...

    while true; do
        local NOW=$(date +%s)
        local DIFF=$(($NOW - $BEGIN))
        local MINS=$(($DIFF / 60))
        local SECS=$(($DIFF % 60))
        local HOURS=$(($DIFF / 3600))
        local DAYS=$(($DIFF / 86400))

        printf "\r%3d Days, %02d:%02d:%02d" $DAYS $HOURS $MINS $SECS
        sleep 0.5
    done
}

function md() {
  pandoc "$1" | lynx -stdin;
}

function weather() {
  ( IFS=+; curl wttr.in/$(curl -s http://ipwho.is/ | jq .postal););
}

So what do you do to remember or recall your most used commands?

 

Deploy Golang applications to a Raspberry PI

 

Please answer the why part. Why should I watch your favorite movie?

 

Not sure where to put this in here or DIY. But, finished my TKL build and wanted to show off. I mean I didn't just finish it, but pretty recent. Took a bit longer than I expected and a bit tedious for a perfectionist, but over all not too bad. It works!

Through-hole PCB with FR4 plate and case. Pretty nice looking and quality components. I put MX browns on because I like the smooth feeling of them. Not typing on it now; just admiring! Need to let my soldering hand recuperate.

 

Seriously amazing for those old nerds like me who are use to IRC, irssi or Weechat. Give Gomuks a try. It's what I expect of a modern client that doesn't get in the way like a lot of the GUI's. I like this versus irssi/weechat because it's first party support for matrix not a WIP plugin.

What do you think? Reach out and say hi to me on matrix! @penguincoder:hive.beehaw.org

 

@[email protected] is MIA currently, but this weekly thread has been so awesome to see and keep going; so I am making what would be her typical post for this week. Alyaza; stay safe friend, I hope everything is okay.

Beeple, how's your mid week going so far??
