Well, I tried shovin’ a wiener in the warp drive, but it dinna do a bit of good. By the by, would ya have a wee bit of mustard up on the bridge?

Then for the casual reader: don’t pick this habit up. There’s no reason to fork/exec a shell, invoke cat for the purpose of printing to stdout, then move the data into your buffer. You can just do :r somefile.txt.

What is the benefit of involving cat?

Mainly Guild Wars 2, but Leafblower Revolution recently introduced fishing, so my GW2 time has taken a small hit while I explore this tomfoolery :D

I’m a big fan of both i3 and enlightenment.

That’s messed up, right?

The amount of software available in the package manager, without adding external repositories, exceeds that I’ve seen in any other distro I’ve used. Even with epel, I feel like others fall short.

The ability to modify the build time flags of software while still using the package manager is also huge. I hate when ffmpeg doesn’t have speex support because some upstream dev figured it was a corner use case.

It’s me, I’m the target demographic. I’m the one asshole who wants to build ffmpeg with speex support, clamav without milter support and rxvt WITHOUT blink support.

There are some pretty great userspace helpers too. Things to ensure your kernel is always built with the same options. Things to upgrade all your python or perl modules to the new interpreter version for you. Tools for rebuilding all the things based on a reverse dependency search.

Slotted installs are handled in a sane, approachable, and manageable way.

The filesystem layout is standards compliant.

I recall someone on /r/Gentoo saying something like “Gentoo is linux crack, when you get a handle on it, nothing compares.”

When I boot my laptop into fedora/arch/mint/etc (or really any non-bsd based distro), I feel like I’m using someone else’s laptop. There are a bunch of git repos under /usr/src for the software I wanted that wasn’t in the package manager. I need to manage their updates separately. Someone else has decided which options are in this very short list of GUIs. I’m using whatever cron daemon they chose, not the one I want. Why is there a flat text log file under /var/db/? Why won’t you just let me exist without any swap mounted? $PATH is just a fucking mess.

I used to use prgmr, I still do but they call themselves TornadoVPS now. Haven’t had any issues.

Crypta (They’ll be considered classics when enough time has passed IMO).

Afaik the person who wrote winmx is now publishing fopnu and darkmx. So it’s still around, just in a modern iteration.

For a while now I’ve been using either haproxy or nginx depending on my needs. I’ve hit instances with both where the functionality I want is in the paid version.

Wild, I get syntax error: unexpected end of file when I run your code, so just that alone is very confusing.

When you’re inside foo here, STDIN is the pipe. Once I fix this syntax error that you somehow dodge and add some extra debugging, you can get a better picture of what’s going on here:

foo() {
        read -r -p "delete $name (default is no) [y/n]?  " choice
        choice="${choice:-n}"
        echo "\$choice: $choice"
}

printf "%s\n" "foo" "bar" "baz" "eggs" "spam" | while read -r name; do
        printf "Got name '%s'\n" "$name"
        echo calling foo
        foo
done

Got name 'foo'
calling foo
$choice: bar
Got name 'baz'
calling foo
$choice: eggs
Got name 'spam'
calling foo
$choice: n

Clubbed British Captain James Cook right in his head, then stabbed him in the chest with a dagger traded from his own supply, in an attempt to stop Cook from kidnapping the islands chief.

ftfy, not sure why one would want to frame it like this twitter user did, as some sort of uprising against an established and prolific oppressor. Those people did not let it escalate to anywhere near that.

Looks super fun :D

Neat! My Dean is a Korean mid 2000s ML. It’s far from heavy but I never noticed the weight until I picked it up seconds after putting a Les Paul down.

Maybe they were using lighter woods, a hollower body or maybe basses are just better weapons ;D

I skip the gym on days where I stand and play one for an hour or more.

Almost threw my dean across the room the first time I picked it up after playing a Les Paul.

Have you looked for providers that offer ETRN? Seems like that might fit your use case well.

I’ve hosted my own email for over a decade with very few issues. It’s low ram and CPU usage so a very cheap VM (or a pair in different locations if you wanna be leet) can be a viable way to avoid the ISP related issues people have trying to host it at home. If you really want it all ending up at home you can do ETRN as mentioned and while TCP/25 is often blocked at home, the submission port (TCP/587) rarely is.

I don’t watch a TON of these things, but I do enjoy them from time to time. The two bits I enjoy the most are vicarious rediscovery of something I enjoy, and getting a very different point of view on the same thing.

Generally when I watch these it’s stuff like “Classically trained musician listens to Megadeth for the first time”. I get reminded of some bits that I’ve grown accustomed to, and sometimes get a whole new perspective on something I’ve been enjoying for years.

I will say, I don’t get “Youtuber reacts to other youtubers reaction to some twitch streamer breakdancing” or “Gymrat listens to ABBA for the first time”.

The Ruin scream is solid for sure. My opinion is likely colored to some extent by nostalgia, but while the Ruin scream absolutely makes me want to get down, the Angel of Death scream makes me yearn for the pit. Just really hypes me up every time. I’ve never missed an Angel of Death pit at a Slayer show that I’ve attended.
