no dear, that’s the palestinians. the ukrainians will be mostly fine once this war is finally over.

none. you dont need a DE, you can just run a tiling wm and some terminals…

yes, but old people can get over that and just stop giving a fuck and accept that they’re weird now. it must be liberating.

oh yes it made the noise.

yes, that’s what i was going for. that they’re going to bulldoze our cities to make way for the child flattening machines. carbrain cannot be stopped.

are you using ntfs-3g or the older shittier ntfs driver?

not yet

i think the intention is to look at the stack itself. which could work, if the pointers werent hopelessly mangled by being cast from an 8byte pointer type to a 4byte integer type…

unless this machine really is 32bit

i dont think pointers are the same size as your int. you’re on 64bit, arent you? so all this code is broken.

what do you mean the output doesnt keep the LF? what LF?

ps also has -u and -U switches to filter by users

vidir is similar

there’s also rename (the perl one, not the shit one). i have fond memories of renaming albums with rename 's/(\d+)/sprintf "%02d", $1/e' so they’d ls in the correct order

i rely on this in my job. if i really need it, i’ll be using it often enough that it’ll always be in ^R distance :)

mmmmmm <3

no, tmux is a newer screen. some of us havent switched cos we’re too lazy i guess? i think the common wisdom is that it’s better. i havent tried cos i already know enough of screen and it’s fine for me

• atools, which includes als, aunpack, apack. so you can stop caring about the kind of archive and just unpack it. it also saves you from shit archives that have multiple files/dirs in their root.
• perl -e / perl -lne / …
• units
• bc - a calculator that’s actually good
• pass - the only non-shit password store tool i’ve found so far. no gui, uses gpg and git to do the encrypting and storage/sharing
• alias lr='ls -lrth' - so you can easily find the newest file, cos that’s frequently what you want
• unip - my script to look up things in the unicode db
• find -type f -exec xzgrep 're' {} + - because xzgrep cant do -r

doesnt actually do anything on gnu rm, and hasnt in like a decade. but yeah, dont do it.

wow, a real spambot? the fediverse has landed!

well, yes, none of the dnd setting people think like medieval people at all.

but i take exception to this idiocy:

fundamentally incompatible with the European fantasy typified by Lord of the Rings, in which no fellowship can alter the fact that Sam is by birth a servant, Frodo a gentleman, Strider a king, and Gandalf a wizard.

has this person read the lord of the rings? sam becomes a land-owning gentleman at the end of the novel. he actually makes it out of his class.

to be fair, he’s the only one in the entire god damned book. there arent even many speaking roles for named commoners in there. sam, the gaffer, ted sandyman, farmer maggot, butterbur, gamling, ioreth. that’s about it. the vast majority of these are in the shire portions of the book.

edit: i forgot beregond and his son! but he may be a minor noble who has lost their land but kept the memory, or he may be a commoner of ithilien of numenorean descent. i dunno.

i’m going by hearsay here, i dont know what school is like in the US. i know what a single school was like in about 1998, but that doesnt tell me much about the rest of the country.

but from what i hear, the US has security gates and cops in schools, and the cops regularly brutalize and arrest the kids for random bullshit.
