vidir is similar

there's also rename (the perl one, not the shit one). i have fond memories of renaming albums with rename 's/(\d+)/sprintf "%02d", $1/e' so they'd ls in the correct order

i rely on this in my job. if i really need it, i'll be using it often enough that it'll always be in ^R distance :)

she sat down to a table with 10 zionists. now there are 11 zionists at that table.

eh, it's calvinball. they could if the US said they could. but why would the US say that?

mmmmmm <3

no, tmux is a newer screen. some of us havent switched cos we're too lazy i guess? i think the common wisdom is that it's better. i havent tried cos i already know enough of screen and it's fine for me

• atools, which includes als, aunpack, apack. so you can stop caring about the kind of archive and just unpack it. it also saves you from shit archives that have multiple files/dirs in their root.
• perl -e / perl -lne / ...
• units
• bc - a calculator that's actually good
• pass - the only non-shit password store tool i've found so far. no gui, uses gpg and git to do the encrypting and storage/sharing
• alias lr='ls -lrth' - so you can easily find the newest file, cos that's frequently what you want
• unip - my script to look up things in the unicode db
• find -type f -exec xzgrep 're' {} + - because xzgrep cant do -r

oh yeah, and for the shell readline, alt-b, alt-f, ctrl-w, ctrl-u, ctrl-k, ctrl-a, ctrl-e

doesnt actually do anything on gnu rm, and hasnt in like a decade. but yeah, dont do it.

wow, a real spambot? the fediverse has landed!

i used to recommend linux to people. but that also meant that i became their tech support person.

i no longer advise anyone to use anything. i just want them to not ask me to troubleshoot their stuff.

having a job improved my mental health compared to not having one and worrying about money.

i'd say both.

so, uh. it must die or die? that's the choice?

yes, that part is for cooking

i assure you, we who grew up with celsius absolutely know the dire difference between 38 and 43. 38 is death, 43 is the crimson realms where even souls wither.

all this "which one is better for x" is nonsense, you develop a feel for whichever you grew up with. it's just that the math is less stupid with metric. that's all.

you evidently can!

what you have to realize is that these arent materialist sanctions, they're idealist sanctions. which is good news, since the clowns "in charge" of europe are idealists.

i'm going by hearsay here, i dont know what school is like in the US. i know what a single school was like in about 1998, but that doesnt tell me much about the rest of the country.

but from what i hear, the US has security gates and cops in schools, and the cops regularly brutalize and arrest the kids for random bullshit.

then they'll put a cop next to each one of them and the cop will shoot the kids who come near it. that'll fix it.

bring into fashion unix tools saying more things like "lo".

lo! alas! but soft!

it happens like that sometimes. see also jimi's all along the watchtower.
