Neovim Is a highly customizable, modal text editor program. Probably no what you’re looking for as far as terninal emulators go, but I use it daily as a near-IDE on desktop. Look into LazyVim for an easy way to get started.

I can second KDE connect–use it between my phone and Manjaro. Can’t speak to the other applications because I don’t have a use-case for many of their functions on a smart phone myself.

Also looking forward to this week here. Work from home is awesome! I just spent a month and a half on a cross-country (USA) road trip while working the whole time. I’m fortunate for the opportunity to do so–and to visit and crash with friends and family along the way–but I am glad to be home.

My wife and I towed a 5’ x 8’ U-haul trailer the 2,000+ miles back home from FL to CO, moving our friend’s stuff in so he can live with us for a while (he drove back with us in his own car). A really awesome trip in a lot of respects, but stressful to take meetings and try to program on the go. Learned my lesson: two weeks max for a trip like that, or take the PTO.

I thought the same and just rolled with it. What was the whole jean thing anyway?

My wife got me onto a comedy podcast called Bananas on the This is Exactly Right network–it’s usually really funny. We both also like Dungeons & Daddies which is a Dungeons and Dragons improv comedy type podcast. Just lay in bed and laugh

Feel exactly this… Sometimes you just still want one randomly. But 99.999% of the time do not think about it at all anymore

*sigh can’t have any fun in the DOT I guess

• I turned my old desktop into a home server, which let me cancel some streaming services… and I set up an rpi4 as a kodi server.
• Signed up for Firefox Relay (had a holiday sale) to have email masks and a proxy phone number, which should help with spam & marketing crap.
• Stopped using Reddit in favor of lemmy (which I hope to contribute to this year)
• Gonna have to find a replacement for mint, since it’s dying this month

Thank you for this chuckle hehe

My thoughts exactly. DRM has rone way off the deep end

What do you mean by “doesn’t read from the same directory”? Is part of your application’s function to read in data from files in your project’s directory tree?

Without seeing the directory structure of your project, or some more actual code samples its hard to understand how to help 😅

That is amazing! Now, I need to see about using weather satellites to explain the bugs in my code at work…

Wow that’s nice! I get 600/25mbps for $80USD in the US, coax 😞 wish fiber-to-the-premise was a possibility in my neighborhood

10Gb to the home? Where have you seen this, and.for how much? I had no idea that was a thing for residential

Ahh I missed that!

Makes more sense then – that seemed a bit long for any update

I booted up that system and after waiting an hour or so for Windows Update to finish

… 🙄

Crazy workstation though – wish I had need for all that power so I could justify buying one to play with

https://regexlearn.com/ is interactive to get you started.

Then try reading maybe the python regex docs for more detailed info. There are multiple flavors of regex as well, which makes it even more confusing (yay), but you’ll eventually grok it enough to make it a part of your toolbox! I use simple regex frequently for search/replace (VScode or vim), and in the shell.

For more complex string parsing operations, there’s often a faster/better method than regex, but it’s really good to know.

Overwatch 2 (unranked) on PS5 (mostly a way to hang with my brother who lives in another country)

And also MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries on my Linux laptop

Love your username—I really wish Jim Butcher would finish the final Dresden books! The Mechwarrior: Dark Age novels can be read without the other ones I think…

A friend has recommended both the Blood of Kerensky and Gray Death Legion trilogies in the BattleTech series—which should be standalone?—and I’m looking forward to reading them as well!

This image is amazing… Wonder if it could work to convince some people

I am on book #16 of the Mechwarrior: Dark Age BattleTech novels. Not high literature or anything, just sci-fi and big robots with lasers! The setting and technology is interesting, and there are several different authors who wrote the series. The changing writing styles and voices switch things up enough to keep me reading.
