Commandline memes
  • i'm 22 so i wouldn't call myself a kid, but it depends on the point of view I guess

  • Commandline memes
  • Ahh, the joke is that there is an event in Germany called "fisch sucht fahrrad" (short FSF) which is a big gathering of singles to find potential partners. A bit like Tinder, but before online dating was invented.

    A gathering of FSF (free software foundation) People also consists of mostly single men.

  • i don't understand it either

    maybe i'd understand it if i was born before 1993 (the year this joke was send to the gnu mailing list)

  • When I log into my Foonix system with my 110 baud teletype, both vi and Emacs are just too damn slow. They print useless messages like, C-h for help'' and "foo" File is read only''. So I use the editor that doesn't waste my VALUABLE time.

    Ed, man!

    !man ed 
    
    ED(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual ED(1) 
    
    NAME
      ed - text editor 
    
    SYNOPSIS
      ed [ - ] [ -x ] [ name ] 
    
    DESCRIPTION 
      Ed is the standard text editor. 
    

    Computer Scientists love ed, not just because it comes first alphabetically, but because it's the standard. Everyone else loves ed because it's ED!

    "Ed is the standard text editor."

    And ed doesn't waste space on my Timex Sinclair. Just look:

    - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 24 Oct 29 1929 /bin/ed 
    - -rwxr-xr-t 4 root 1310720 Jan 1 1970 /usr/ucb/vi 
    - -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5.89824e37 Oct 22 1990 /usr/bin/emacs 
    

    Of course, on the system I administrate, vi is symlinked to ed. Emacs has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K; and 3) RUNS ED!!!!!!

    "Ed is the standard text editor."

    Let's look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed:

    golem> ed 
    
    ? 
    help 
    ? 
    ? 
    ? 
    quit 
    ? 
    exit 
    ? 
    bye 
    ? 
    hello? 
    ? 
    eat flaming death 
    ? 
    ^C 
    ? 
    ^C 
    ? 
    ^D 
    ? 
    

    Note the consistent user interface and error reportage. Ed is generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm the novice with verbosity.

    "Ed is the standard text editor."

    Ed, the greatest WYGIWYG editor of all.

    ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!! ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR! ED MAKES THE SUN SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!

    When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!! Not a "viitor". Not a "emacsitor". Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED! ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!

    When IBM, in its ever-present omnipotence, needed to base their "edlin" on a UNIX standard, did they mimic vi? No. Emacs? Surely you jest. They chose the most karmic editor of all. The standard.

    Ed is for those who can remember what they are working on. If you are an idiot, you should use Emacs. If you are an Emacs, you should not be vi. If you use ED, you are on THE PATH TO REDEMPTION. THE SO-CALLED "VISUAL" EDITORS HAVE BEEN PLACED HERE BY ED TO TEMPT THE FAITHLESS. DO NOT GIVE IN!!! THE MIGHTY ED HAS SPOKEN!!!

  • since yaml is just a superset of json, you can easily avoid all problems like this

    yaml is like a less strict json for me

  • IDE and Terminal

    Neovim is an program that runs in a terminal. You can use it to edit text files and through plugins it can become a fully fledged IDE. The site you linked actually tells you to install Neovim as a package in Termux.

    To be clear: Neovim is not a Terminal Emulator. It is not even an Android App. It runs on Android in Termux (and probably other apps), but not on its own.

    Termux is afaik the best Terminal Emulator for Android, it includes a package manager with a lot of Linux CLI utilities (like Neovim) available.

    For Java there is an apparently fully Fledged IDE available in F-Droid. For Python I'd suggest installing python in Termux and developing and running python scripts from there.

    Torrent

    I use Torrent Client. It works, but it hasn't been updated in 2 years and I don't know how secure it is. I mostly Torrent on my Linux Desktop PC.

    E-Book Reader

    I use KOReader which is more optimized for E-Readers, but it has a very clean UI and works great for me. It is also actively developed.

    [solved] How to unfocus a frozen application that grabbed the pointer/keyboard in Xorg?

    I'm posting here, because i have no idea how to search for this.

    When exploring GTK programming, I ran into a very specific problem:

    I created an application that crashes when i open a GtkDropDown, so to debug the crash I ran my app inside GDB. When GDB notices an application crashing, it freezes it, so i can analyze the state in which it crashed. The GtkDropDown grabs the pointer, like rofi or i3lock grab the pointer to prevent the window manager from exercising any keyboard shortcuts. Problem is now, the application gets frozen while the pointer is grabbed, so I'm basically locked out of my window manager.

    To close the application, I can just log into a TTY and kill the GDB process, but I would like to have a simpler solution, that possibly doesn't kill the application.

    Is there a way with Xorg to get out of such a situation without switching to the TTY? If not, why can a single user application completely prevent you from using anything in your graphical environment?

    Because Xorg bad? Should I switch to Wayland?

    Solution (thanks to @trachemys@iusearchlinux.fyi):

    • switch to TTY and log in
    • export DISPLAY=':0'
    • setxkbmap -option grab:break_actions
    • xdotool key XF86Ungrab
