@mckinley@twtxt.net Wow. And you never wonder: “Wait, how did I do $thing back then?” Happens to me all the time. 😳

@bender My condolences. 😂🙉

@bender@twtxt.net Ah, so that’s the plane with the Brazilian women then. 😅 Enjoy your stay!

@bender@twtxt.net To infinity and beyond? 🤔 How large is it currently? history | wc -l

QOTD: How large is your shell history? No history, 500 lines, 10’000, 100’000, something else?

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh, so the cache just goes back about a month? 🤔

@prologic Lol, god no 🤣

Well, I missed the time window. Time flies, they’re all grown up now. 😬

One great feature of Vim (and probably other editors) is “keyword completion”: Type the beginning of a word, then press Ctrl-N and Vim will give autocompletion options by scanning all the words in the current file. For example, when I now type “au” and then Ctrl-N, it will suggest “autocompletion”.

This is so very useful when writing text / prose. It’s especially useful for German text with all those long words like “Informationssicherheitsbeauftrager”. I use this feature all time and I sorely miss it when I’m forced to use some other crappy editor. 😩

Those options are now included in jenny’s Vim package:

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Awwwwww! 😍

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com You’re welcome. I guess this could/should also be mentioned in jenny’s docs. 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com That’s the trick, yep. 👍 I have something like this in my .vimrc:

au BufRead,BufNewFile jenny-posting.eml setl fo-=t wrap

(That hard disk was in a Windows box and there was no such thing as RAID or anything similar. Didn’t have the money for fancy stuff anyway.)

@mckinley@twtxt.net Yes, over 20 years ago, a hard disk died. Not completely, only some parts of it, but it was enough to destroy ~30 GB or something like that.

I bought a lot of DVDs over time and many of them have become unreadable. Star Trek DS9 is among the victims, parts of TNG, parts of X-Files. Really annoying. I didn’t have the required disk space to make backups and, honestly, didn’t think they would die so quickly. When/if I buy movies these days, I either make a backup right away or I treat those DVDs as “will die soon”. 🫤

CDs regularly die, too, although not as often as DVDs.

And of course, lots of floppy disks are dead now. 😂🫤

@bender Yep, it’s pass. 👍

YouTube introduces a “stable volume” feature:

Once filmmakers realize that people just want stable volume instead of SUPER LOUD SECTIONS (…andreallyquietones…), then maybe I can finally remove the limiter from my pipewire filter chain. 🥴

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Why not, give it a shot! 😅

I think I even integrated my password manager into tmux at some point. There’s a lot that you can do.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Same here. I’m watching the storm tracking on kachelmannwetter.com 🍿

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Ah, right, you were only talking about 24 hours. I think I can manage without Netflix for a day. 😅

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com At work? Not a chance. 😂

Private life? Sure. There was a regular community event called “A week in the TTY” over at nixers.net, where we spent a week only in text mode. It was easily doable.

There are some things where a graphical browser is pretty much mandatory these days. Online banking comes to mind. I could in theory physically go to the bank, but I’m way too lazy for that. 😂

Netflix is more popular nowadays and I wouldn’t want to miss that, either.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Not bad, maybe let’s go back to 98.css. 😃

@bender It feels like the current cycle has been going on for a very long time now, almost 20 years. 😩 But I might be wrong here, maybe it started later.

Is this “flat UI” madness ever going to end? I’m beginning to lose hope.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Of course, those shitheads. 🤣 (Doesn’t really make a difference in practice, luckily. There aren’t that many of them.)
