Seriously, this was pretty cool, thanks for sharing!

Neat! Thanks for sharing!

I think it is measured and professionals who work in areas where this was relevant probably track this number among many others. I think the real question you are asking is why it is always framed as a % of GDP in public discussion and news reporting. Some people here point out how % of GDP can be more useful for comparing across countries with vastly different sized economies but I think we all know the real answer has more to do with how people perceive the value differently by using the larger number. Framing government debt as a % of GDP serves the zeitgeist, whatever that is.

I understand this reference and I approve o7

Gah, haven’t had to think about my tmux conf in like 5 years but here we go. This was quite the writeup, thanks for looking!

You appear to be exactly right about set -sg escape-time 0. I don’t think it’s ever caused me an issue but I am fortunate to have a very homogeneous environment and it looks like the tmux team circumvented me anyway. As of tmux 3.4:

If escape-time is 0, force to 1 instead

The only time I’ve been bit by the TERM value from tmux-sensible is when logging into junos boxes. In which case I need to export TERM=xterm-256color or arrow keys don’t work (among other things). Per the docs:

https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/FAQ#why-do-you-use-the-screen-terminal-description-inside-tmux

I might try tmux-256color for a bit and see how it goes.

Anyway, appreciate the breakdown and the suggestions!

your pipe-pane command was real neat, I appreciate you sharing!

I get frustrated with the default ESC delay so I use set -sg escape-time 0

I re-bind the bind-keys without the default -r to avoid switching panes, hitting $DIRECTION arrow and going to the next pane $DIRECTION instead of my intent to move the cursor or view history etc…

bind-key    Up      select-pane -U
bind-key    Down    select-pane -D
bind-key    Left    select-pane -L
bind-key    Right   select-pane -R

lastly, I really like these plugins

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible'
set -g @plugin 'Morantron/tmux-fingers'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect'
set -g @resurrect-capture-pane-contents 'on'

come on people, show us your filthy tmux conf

ss -tulpn was a welcome find for me. I have it memorized for netstat and dislike always having to install it on a new box, very handy tool

This is super useful, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for posting!

seems like a good thread to plug https://represent.us

they describe themselves as

RepresentUs is America’s leading nonpartisan anti-corruption organization fighting to fix our broken and ineffective government. We unite people across the political spectrum to pass laws that hold corrupt politicians accountable, defeat special interests, and force the government to meet the needs of the American people.

here’s their policy platform https://represent.us/policy-platform/

they claim to have played a part in over 185 pieces of legislation (mostly at the state level) that contributed to their core platform https://represent.us/our-wins/

here are their ongoing campaigns presented state by state https://represent.us/2024-campaigns/

nobody and no organization are perfect but I feel like most people can find something to agree on here

Wish that this somehow translated to the people in charge of the shitshow being replaced, but I’m pretty sure it’s the workers who will suffer instead. This failure is 1000% on an executive culture of “cut corners so line goes up”, not the thousands of people who actually build the darn things.

I really like Manjaro. I’ve been running it on my personal computer for many years now, however, I would not recommend it for grandma’s computer. Their “delayed and curated” release strategy mostly just works but when it doesn’t it doesn’t. As someone mentioned elsewhere in the comments I would lean towards Red Hat or Debian for more mindless distros. I’ve administered thousands of Debian package updates and distro upgrades and it’s so stable. We don’t deserve Debian.

When our first child arrived I had a cheap IP cam lying around that I could flash with something I trusted and integrate into my other stuff (Homeassistant in this case). The camera didn’t really support a wired connection, only 2.4 wifi. This has probably been my single complaint about the setup generally. We live in a somewhat dense neighborhood and the surrounding 2.4GHz noise affects the stream quality, making it somewhat less reliable.

I would say that if reliability and complexity are your biggest concerns go with one of the decent baby monitors. Very reliable, zero complexity. We didn’t find the reliability to be an issue in practice and I didn’t mind the complexity. I would say that if you go the IP cam route, do your best to go wired or at least 5GHz.

Always nice to see some good news.

I read somewhere that he does his own makeup every morning. Too lazy to find sources though so don’t listen to me.

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll check it out.

Legit, used Wayland for a whole two hours before realizing barrier wouldn’t work and had to drop back to x. Workflow gotta workflow.

😂

I don’t think there’s anything shorter or more elegant than this really. When you’re right you’re right.
