It felt weirder to me a few years ago. But over time a just vaguely identifiable character for 2010 to 2019 has emerged when I think of that decade.

Found one: https://codeberg.org/mister_monster/YouTube2Peertube

The programming socks will be the first sign.

I like to read until I hit a noun, then look to see what community this it was posted to, then kinda riff it from there.

It’s also always been the way that the people who actually clicked the link get to come into the comments and be frustrated at us for being legitimately wrong.

I can kinda see it, though he’s not my cup of tea. I like my videos a bit more essay-like and a bit more serious mode.

Even just mirroring.

Is there a tool already that makes it easy to upload to both? Idk, I haven’t uploaded a video since like the 10s

Wine still feels like magic in 2025

Maybe a little specific, but the first time i used autorandr, I was wow it does exactly what it sounds like it does.

Oh! I just thought of a better one. The first time you run vim scp://user@server//home/user/.

We are same. I sometimes use comments as kind of tags, like

xinput --disable $(xinput --list | grep -i touchpad | grep 'id=[0-9]\+' -o | cut -d= -f2)  # Disable synaptic touchpad trackpad pointer

or

python3 -c 'from ctypes import *; X11 = cdll.LoadLibrary("libX11.so.6"); X11.XOpenDisplay.restype = POINTER(c_ubyte); display = X11.XOpenDisplay(None); X11.XkbLockModifiers(display, c_uint(0x0100), c_uint(2), c_uint(0)); X11.XCloseDisplay(display)' # swap caps CAPS CAPSLOCK

or sometimes I’ll add # works at the end of a long string of attempts (usually involving dialing into a regexp), like

xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Eow '\d'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Eow '(\d)'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -ow '(\d)'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -o '(\d)'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep '1920x1080'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -o '1920x1080'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -o '\d920x1080'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '\d920x1080'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '\d+x1080'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '\d+x\d+'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '(\d+x\d+)'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '(\d+x\d+) pixels'
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '(\d+x\d+) pixels'|cut
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '(\d+x\d+) pixels'|cut -f1
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '(\d+x\d+) pixels'|cut -d\ -f1
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '(\d+x\d+) pixels'|cut -d'' -f1
scrot --quality 1 --compression 0 --format jpg - | convert -scale 10% -scale 1000% -quality 100 - RGB:- | i3lock --image /dev/stdin --raw 3840x1818:rgb --nofork
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '(\d+x\d+) pixels'|cut -d' ' -f1
xdpyinfo|grep dimensions|grep -Po '(\d+x\d+) pixels'|cut -d' ' -f1 # works

I’m so spoiled by searchable settings that it feels like I’m back in the 50s if I actually have to manually click around menus looking for a setting.

Oh that is a good point actually. It’s been a while since I have done any serious Python, so I’m not sure why you couldn’t just use convention instead of this conditional.

For my part, if a Python script is meant to be executed, then I’ll give it a shebang, drop the .py, and simply mark it as executable in the filesystem. 🤷‍♂️

I’m not sure I’m following the implication. Name=main is for scripts primary, is it not?

I’ve never thought to add more than one of these conditionals anyway…

I remember how weird this looked the first time I saw it and while I may now understand it, it still looks jank af

Zojak Quapaj!

Interesting distinction. I use a small managed vps, but didn’t consider that self-hosting, personally. I do aspire to switch to a homelab and figure out dynamic DNS and all that one day.

Self-housing, Linux, vim; hell, even gardening – they all fit this saying?axiom? pretty well.

Like walking to the table with a plate full of steaming chive dumplings only to catch the corner of the plate on a wall and watch your dumps go tumblo all over and dog eats them and is definitely going to have the shits in the middle of the night

Like getting overconfident and dying to one of the starter grunts in Demon’s Souls.

True pain, and totally avoidable too
