ed and sed arre different things. One edits files in place, interactively. The other edits streams i.e.batch processing.

ed is the precursor to vi. Similar commands. It’s just you can only work on one line at a time.

Having just taken cloud flare out? …no

More fool you. There’s some damn good software in that list.

• It’s amazingly stable even though it’s a rolling release.
• Up to date.
• Maintained by many many knowledgeable people.
• Arch Wiki
• 99% of software you need is packaged, and then there’s AUR too.

That’s about it, but its my daily driver on desktop and laptop.

Well it’s obvious the users of other browsers doing the murdering.

I’d just built my first PC and had no love for Win 3.1 which was rapidly becoming the default. I wanted to keep codíng having come from from Atari STs and had no desire to learn the windows APIs. An OS that came with C compilers by default was higher level than I was used to as I’d been doing 68000 assembler on the ST, but it was still low level enough.

IIt was also similar enough to the Sun IPCs and IPXs that I was using at university.

I’m a little confused by some of the discussion. Surely the problems they’re talking about with variations in the test system also apply to windows. You result can be affected by:

• Which windows updates have been applied
• Which version of the drivers have been installed
• What other software is on the system

Linux is the same, but they seem to be more concerned about it. Can someone explain?

Normally the use case is

• Constructed a long command, but it didn’t work for some reason.
• I go fix the reason it didn’t work
• I do the first thing again

It’s in my recent memory, but maybe there’s been 10 or so commands of me fixing stuff in-between.

That’s why you can add “:p” to the end just to print it.

The one people see me doing that gets a “huh?” Is:

~$ !find
find -type f -name '*blah*' -print0 | xargs -0 gzip
~$

“Wait! What did you do?” “Oh. Do you not know about bang?”

They’re Saxon

How steep is the learning curve there? Should I just go with Plex and keep it simple?

You’ve got it the wrong way round. Jellyfin is simple. I’ve never understood Plex.

They do. You look at it every time you see the contents of your disk. It’s just organised in a tree to make path based lookups fast and locate organises its database differently to make fast basename lookups.

As I would expect. Does the result surprise people?

If so, rename the arguments to fun() to be r, s, t, and u. Just inside the function. Does the obvious two scopes now make it clearer?

.net

Anything I run in C# or similar seems to allocate 512GB of virtual address space and then just populates what it actually uses.

I’ve got a 12. I really like it.

Get a DIY one and put your own memory and SSD in it. You’ll save £$\€ over the framework prices for those. I paid about £750 total for my maxed out 48GB/2TB one. Then slap something like Fedora on it and you’re good to go.

I got a Lenovo slim pen 2 as the framework stylus isn’t out yet. Pairing required holding the buttons for ages, but works great after that.

It’s more my back than my knees

…or PCMCIA for short.

Go with a VM for FileMaker I’d have thought.

BTW Bonjour is known as multicast DNS in the non-apple world and the standard Linux way of supporting it is Avahi.

Agreed. The headline is terrible. Headline Case Doesn’t Help Either.
