Don’t worry, you might make it to the start of the bell curve one day.

I’ve been programming for 35 years, and professionally for over 20, so I’m pretty far along the curve, thanks.

We all have different definitions of “fun.” C won’t surprise you when you try to add a string and an array; it’ll do exactly what you told it to do, which then translates to assembly code with a very predictable pattern.

On a different note, bash scripting is well-defined and mostly consists of understanding that common tools can be chained together to provide useful output; combined with the very well-defined string operations, I’ve found that bash scripts can address over 99% of cases people try to throw sed and awk at. It’s almost surprisingly powerful.

JavaScript is just a hot fucking mess.

Except for C

I rocked a Surface with Linux Mint for a few years. It worked great and was much more performant than Windows. I eventually got myself a proper laptop because I was wearing through multiple keyboard covers with the amount of typing I was doing, but I still keep it around as a backup.

This entire post is about terminal-based editors, buddy.

Which command-line program are you using to access Lemmy?

Yeah, that’s what the shortcut hint shows, champ.

Copy and paste in nano work just fine - no clue what you’re talking about. It uses standards established in the '80s - Ctrl-X for eXit being an even older standard - and clearly lists them visibly for a quick reminder.

nano still wins. All the shortcuts are listed at the bottom.

nano. I can’t memorize esoterica.

nano, and I’m an expert.

I just use whatever trash and old computer parts I have lying around.

You’re picking nits. The bounties still trigger them.

Turns out you already did that and that’s why it’s going down

CPU, RAM, disk space, network translation, management abstraction, buried logs …

Good to know, I’ll look into it this weekend.

Thanks for answering my question instead of only downvoting like half the other chuckleheads. Guess I’ll migrate to Forgejo if my Gitea instance ever gets too old.

Why forgejo instead of gitea?

Same, but fuck the docker overhead
