Ook the Librarian

I live in the second one. On purpose. I’ll never wear my debian tshirt.

You’re correct in a lot of languages; Excel comes to mind. Just that’s not how int rand() works in C.

Sorry, I don’t why you’re getting snark and even being accused of using the word “integer”.

Like they would open source Zed instead of locking it up in a museum and claiming their version is the best.

I said “read the meme” because that is all I was addressing. The title is just engagement-bait as far as I’m concerned. It’s either a meme or question. I’m sure others are here for the question but not the meme. And therefore, I’m being engagement-baited. Who knows, but I was clear about what I was talking about.

I just think saying “you’re completely missing the point” to a comment that is perfectly on topic is completely uncalled for.

I reason I think git is dead-simple to “self-host” is because I do it. I’m not a computer guy. I just used svn to version control some papers with fellow grad students. (it didn’t last, i was the only one that liked it.) so now i use git for some notes i archive. I’m not saying there aren’t tools to considerably upgrade the easy-of-use factor that would require some tech skills I don’t possess, but I stand by point.

This is fun. I’m listening to two Telsa owners bicker about the precise reason that I shouldn’t buy a Telsa.

Do you honestly think they’re “completely missing the point”? Read the meme. There’s no mention of gitea. Self-hosting git is nothing to wiggle your tie over. Maybe setting up the things you are talking about are, but git?

The idea that the argument “it’s adam and eve, not adam and steve” is as logically valid as “he who smelt it, dealt it” really fucked with boomer’s minds. It makes me wonder how serious they were about the smelt it/dealt it rule.

Have you thought of matching outfits? You could go the classic nude like OP, but it’s offsetting in family photos. Especially Thinkpads.

why not learn how to protect them properly from bad actors?

Exactly. One way to start is asking for help on forum with people who like to talk about this kind of thing. Hope OP finds their way.

“Peruse” means to read carefully.

We need strongly typed memes. This place is chaos.

Honestly, I was just hoping it might help him realize how dumb X sounds to everyone else.

And it’s owned by the X billionaire Elon Musk.

I can’t tell if you are complaining or just explaining the rules.

I’m not the person to say anything about zsh vs. fish. I last tried zsh around 2008. Back then I decided to stick with bash over other shells. At the time (and for decades earlier) it was clear that sh was inadequate. So the Bourne Again Shell was (and still is) ubiquitous. Other shells fighting for user space seemed like the xkcd-927 problem.

Now, I’m basically seeing that if I’m stuck without my .bashrc file, installing fish gives me most of the niceties I like. It also gives me niceties that I wouldn’t have been able to do, like nice multi-lining. And while I personally find fi and esac charming, they are pretty dumb. And I certainly don’t miss the for-do-done construction.

I bet I would like zsh as much as fish, but I don’t have any motivation to try it.

fish looks at my path to highlight mistyped commands. It autocompletes on the fly and autocompletes with attention paid to the usage in your history. The coolest thing is that it parses man pages. That allows autocomplete to know the options of a command as long as it has a proper man page (which it just should).

I do most of my scripting in perl too. Python has always irked me.

Only semi-related: I recently switched from bash shell to fish. I should have don’t that years ago. Don’t know why I held on to bash so tight.

I love perl. It feels like I’m just writing exactly what I’m thinking. But then when I go to read it, I get the horrific feeling that jesus christ, this is how I think?!
