before you say “fuck this, fuck you”

FTFY 🙂

I just found my old gopher page. Given that’s still up the user account must be there. Is the username listed on gopherspace the same as the login name?

I tried recover but it says no such user. It very well might be that I didn’t set up any password recovery ten years ago. So either there’s no user with that login anymore or it reports no such user because it’s not set up for recovery. Maybe I’ll try make a new user with same username.

I actually tried to finger the same usernames on sdfeu.org and it reports no such user so I guess it’s not there.

I tried finger as the other commenter suggested. I tried bunch of variations. Whole username, 8 chars truncated, and a shorter version which was in my notes. I also tried both sdf.org and freeshell.org. All of them gave me an empty output. I guess the fact that it didn’t output no such user means it must be either of them. Or all of them refer to the same user.

I also found an email sent from my sdf user. The address in format username@sdf.org had the whole username (more than 8 chars). Then there’s the shortest version of the name in my notes. That’s written as sdf.lonestar.org/1/users/username. No idea what that refers to. Seems I didn’t take very good notes. So which of these would more probably be the correct one?

Someone commented on my post about Devil World that what I experienced was Tetris effect. When I was scrolling vertically on my phone I would occasionally experience sideways scrolling similar to the game mechanic even though there certainly wasn’t any sideways scrolling happening.

Another one was when I was playing Portal. Traveling via portals became my usual method to move around in every dream I had those days.

If you happened to like one of your test bakings particularly then you couldn’t reproduce it as accurately unless your method is consistent enough. So you wouldn’t benefit that much if the test was success, I suppose. But I don’t really do much baking so I don’t know how difficult it is to get it right and how much it matters.

I think he meant having the 3,5 mm jack in a phone.

Not sure what you are seeing but I thought it was an empty reply from Mastodon. Then I opened it in browser and there’s actually a picture attached.

But does it mean the 15% is non-standard or just not implemented at all? If it’s not implemented then all of the implementation is 100% standard compliant and if everyone stopped relying on the 15% part then developing for Firefox should make it compatible for rest of the browsers.

Didn’t know about hexer. Seems like a nice hex editor.

On the positive note that gives you an opportunity to learn new languages. Maybe you understand one word in a meme post and that’s enough to understand it. Maybe you look up what does it say in the post if you find it interesting. Not really an effective way to learn in itself but a way to expose yourself to foreign languages.

Which things do you find boring and restrictive about it? I think it’s rather nice although I don’t like some of the changes after Catalina like moving from skeuomorphic icons to more symbolic ones.

Other than aesthetics I think editing and writing is fast on macOS even when not using vim. I even changed my PCs to use mac keyboard layout because it’s better. Of course when using vim, editing should work same on any system at least in theory.

Half man, half bear and half pig obviously.

PRESSURE 30.4 inHG

Do Americans really use inches of mercury to measure air pressure? Even millimeters of mercury would feel weird for me in weather context. I’ve seen mmHg used mostly in medical and chemistry stuff. I guess it really is anything but metric for you guys.

!rickygervais@lemmy.world I want to see people post more Karl Pilkington stuff here

Well, it’s certainly shorter than the table in the parent comment.

and also that being based on Debian LMDE is 100% community based.

At first I read it as “completely based” and wondered whether LMDE is also red pilled.

I’ve always thought that macros in vim are slow and clumsy to use. You have to think about getting back to initial state as you record if your intent is to repeat the macro several times. If you make a mistake you have to either record an action that corrects the mistake or edit the macro later after recording. You have to know beforehand how many times you want to repeat the macro or run it one at a time which is clumsy at least with Finnish keyboard layout.

Norm command is much faster to use for my purposes because I can use it for several lines at a time without thinking about the state. I can use it with ranges or with g/re/ and v/re/ commands. If I make a mistake I just delete it. Only thing on the plus side I can think of for macros is it’s WYSIWYG approach. You have to have a visual editor in your mind when you write long norm commands.

Here’s a tip for you: use :%norm @a to run the macro in register a for every line of the file.

Powershell seems like too much writing to do a simple thing. Is there some kind of auto-complete available?
