Maybe if you escaped the command like \\type sudo?

I had this issue with System 76 with Ubuntu (for work). It was infuriating.

Also double check that sudo is the right command, by doing which sudo. Something I just learned to be paranoid of in this thread.

Unless which is also compromised, my god…

Just don't forget to check if your IP has changed if ssh suddenly starts timing out with no error indication no matter what you do and oh god what is actually wrong

I think there's a way to setup an alert for this.

Oh that's dastardly

Rofl well at least they predicted the rise of RSIs from hitting keys

Oh dang, he even gave Windows the boot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

It's also the same reason Microsoft pushed to get Windows in grade schools - even paying for the computers in some cases.

Damn, that's awful. Also because I know a few creative people have found it useful - it's shitty for them.

I'm not a professional, but I've been using Gimp 3, and it works great for my purposes (mostly making memes and weird net art, tbh).

Also Blender is S tier. So good. I even use it to make sprite sheets using 3D models as base.

The post body:

[...] big refactoring project to replace the usage of double types with decimal types. Everything seemed to go well, at least until there was a network hiccup and the application couldn't connect to the database. Let's see if you can figure out what happened:

MessageBox.Show("Please decimal check the connection details. Also check firewall settings (port 1433) and network connectivity.");

What a clbuttic mistake.


I don't actually get the joke with clbuttic, though. 🤔

 

So I've got a new domain and I want to do some fun stuff with it. Specifically, I'm looking for something that's fun to make as well as use.

I've got experience making webservers in p much every major language. My first instinct is to use NextJS just because it's fast and I've used it most recently, but then I also feel the allure of just rawdawging my own HTML/CSS+JS, like my forebears might've done. XML is kind of a pain to handbomb, though; all those closing tags, etc... Though I'm sure there are plugins for that.

Any suggestions? What was the last tool you used that really sparked your joy of creativity? Any really fun frameworks, stacks, editors, etc?

 

I've recently stopped using tmux in favour of relying fully kitty's built-in windows and tabs, and I'm a fan.

The real killer app for me was the "pass_keys" plugin that allows you to navigate vim and kitty splits all with the same keys. I think there are plugins that allow you to do the same between vim<>tmux<>kitty as well, so it's not like you would need to drop tmux to take advantage of it.

Anyway, so that's been a big shift in my daily workflow. I've been using tmux for well over a decade, and GNU screen before that (I was never able to train myself away from the C-a prefix.

The one thing I miss a lot is being able to quickly detach and re-attach to existing sessions. Especially when doing some work over an ssh connection. But then I can always just shove the terminal into scratch space, or another i3 workspace.


This isn't me trying to sell anyone on ditching tmux. I love tmux, and if it works for your flow then it's perfect for you. More just curious what kinds of setup other people have.

Is there some hot new thing that I've missed that blows both kitty and tmux and i3 out of the water? Idk, but I'm always on the lookout. :p

 

Just down the street from
where you are I am sitting at a cafe
believing in you. Thinking of you
has helped me put certain things
in perspective. For instance I wish
for I to record only its encounter
with you. You are the one who
rehinges all the names: your face
daisies at the sun, you glory
up the bare hill rallying the squirrels,
your voice trucks through the traffic
running reckless down the roads,
you catch the circling snow in your
sleepy lashes. What is my language
really for? Not to languish on the page
unheard & unlived, but to hold another
person, to address them—it’s true none
of my poems would matter
if I didn’t have the words to reassure,
to cheer, to delight, to soothe, to free
you. To make room for us, for how
we will be present together. I promise
to write to you through disaster, in
the face of violences sudden & slow
—I promise to never let you go.

I find I get some really quality introspection / observations around this time of year, and also just during holidays in general. Maybe it's just the time off, or maybe it's having an event to write around. I'm not sure.

Do other folks especially look forward to writing their thoughts down during the holidays? Like I'm visiting family for a couple days, and I can't wait to document the memories that haven't even occurred yet.

 

What I mean by hybrid is like mélanges like green tea & ginger, green tea & jasmine, etc.

I find they lend a nice upper/downer tonality, like in the previous example I'd go with ginger green tea if I really wanted to focus, and jasmine if I was trying to coax a more relaxed vibe.

Welcome to the sixth writing club update!

I hope everyone has had a good November (and part of December (these posts keep taking me longer and longer into the month to post - they're basically mid-month posts now lol)). These increased indoorsiness is often good for the types of projects we're embarked on.

So without further ado, here are our dashing Participants for the month!

Have a great December and new year!

 

I'm just going to keep posting pictures of tea in various situations until someone tells me to cool it.

Is what I say to myself as I shuffle away with my second cup of the morning.
