Apparently wiki identifies it as a “pointing stick”.

…also, I find it amusing that the article does use the term clitmouse.

I am certainly not one of the younger folks and had never seen that before. That is awesome, thank you for sharing.

Wow, I learned this bug during a job interview I had this week. I’m not much of a Python guy, but I was givin a Python coding challenge and I tried default initializing a parameter to an empty list. The guy interviewing me looked horrified and explained the problem and sent me an article about it to read later. It’s a odd coincidence coming across it twice in one week.

Also, doesn’t the jetbrains license let you continue to use the version that was the latest as of when your license ended. It’s a small difference, but also kinda huge.

I use youtrack. It’s a project management tool. It’s not open source, but does have a self hostable option.

I usually say “I’m a computer toucher” or “computer programmer” if I don’t want to talk about what I do. If I want to flex some nerd cred, and/or boast a little, I’ll usually say “I work with machine automation” or “robotics”. It tends to get a more curious response and I can talk about some of the weird stuff I’ve helped make.

It’s not exactly what I think you’re looking for, but depending on what you are trying to do, maybe look at hackmd/codimd.

It’s more like Google docs meets markdown formatting. It’s goal is realtime collaboration but I’ve definitely used it for syncing todo lists with people.

Codimd is the self hostable version.

Oh, and I think there is a way to have it sync with a GitHub repo too, in case that is useful.

This reminds me of an article I read about a guy whose last name was Null.

This isn’t it but is the first one I found when looking.

The story is pretty much what you would expect but still an amusing read.

…you mean IF you’ve got infinite time to wait?

My brother also has his own NAS at his house. We sync our media between both of our servers to both share it and to serve as an off-site backup.

Everything else on my nas gets backed up to a cloud provider.

Like you said, it could be replaced it’d just be inconvenient, and media is kinda bulky so cloud storage for all of it would get a little pricy.
