Voyager:

(?=) for positive lookahead and (?!) for negative lookahead. Stick a < in the middle for lookbehind.

It’s equivalent to cp -r, but:

• the copy is read-only
• reuses unchanged files
• easier to share (btrfs sub send)

btrfs sub snap -r

Example code >= Documentation

Yes, with --privileged. It’s totally safe. Trust me.

symlinks (or whatever windows calls them)

Windows actually has two types of symlinks:

• Shortcuts: stored as regular files on disk; only function as a symlink from Explorer.
• Actual symlinks: stored as actual symlinks (or NTFS reparse points). Transparent for all apps, but can only be created using mklink.
• There’s also junction links apparently, but afaik they’re just bindmounts.

moving a symlink can sometimes move all the data too.

Probably, someone managed to create a real symlink in their OneDrive folder, and since OneDrive probably doesn’t check for symlinks it blindly copied all the files to the cloud.

Take all this with a grain of salt — I’m not a Microsoft developer, and it’s been a while since I last used Windows.

By the way, you can use g~ to get the effects of tildeop without needing to set it.

Not if you’re a Bash programmer ·υ·

It probably opened it in ${VISUAL:-${EDITOR:-vim}}; usually setting one of those variables in e.g. bashrc will avoid future vim.

I’m worried about relying on remote servers for random numbers, especially for cryptographic purposes. There’s no way to verify that you aren’t the only person with access to those numbers, and it’s fairly difficult even as the sysadmin to ensure that they’re logged nowhere.

I’m not really into writing interactive fiction; I just tried it a little since it seemed neat. It turns out that I’m not great at coming up with things to write about, which makes it hard to actually write. Inform 7 makes some decisions that complicate using it with a programming background; I’m considering trying to write my own language for similar purposes (but different paradigms).

Even natural-language languages like Inform 7 require a little programming knowledge for when it hates you.

SIGHUP or SIGPWR, maybe?

I believe they were referring to last year’s trend of blockchain being introduced to everything unnecessarily (as a marketing buzzword, similar to AI).

Windows is harder, so less valuable to spend time on.

git add -p

Oh, that’s annoying. Works fine on Voyager for me.

Same for users — just change the ! to an @.
