When I first started out with Linux, I went full ricemode with Arch. For a while I tried running without X, using tmux heavily and browsing with lynx, only starting a specific X server for games.

You can definitely do it, but especially web browsing is not really feasible. There are tons of curses-like applications like mutt and irssi that work really well, but alas, I ended up going back to i3.

Still heavily riced, though, using Vim hotkeys wherever possible. For browsing, qutebrowser is fucking sweet!

I don’t think you have to be goth to like goth chicks

I would just have Postgres running statically on some solid hardware. It’s easy to configure permissions and connections, too.

Not too hard to set up streaming replication for a hot standby if you wanna be sure (or offload some reads).

I use Postgres btw

Virtually all database solutions support limiting users to specific databases/schemas/tables/whatever you need.

Persistence to NFS is also generally bad advice for most databases for performance reasons.

Had to get some metrics out of an old Cisco box that weren’t available through SNMP, and the only solution I could come up with was to periodically SSH some commands and regex the results.

That required way too much shell-foo and the SSH daemon would just randomly refuse/drop connections.

If only there was some kind of standard metric API that every other modern software supports out of the box…

Postman is literally the only GUI I use for development, except for a browser I guess. Everything else is in terminals/WSL2 at work

Is this your first attempt at emoji pasta?

Cisco and Juniper CLIs are terrible imo… Why won’t they just use a proper modern set of tools instead of their own proprietary shit that doesn’t interface with anything else?

Actually I just made up my own written language that happens to consist of 64 case-sensitive characters in one string. This is how I communicate

A 1 Gbps up/down in Denmark is around 40-50€, and low speeds like 100/100 is more like 25-35€.

Same for Norway and Sweden. Everything is unlimited of course.

One is a rate of data, the other is an amount.

Mbps means megabits per second.

MB is just megabytes. You can of course turn it into a rate, but then it would be MB/s.

There are 8 bits in a byte, so 100 Mbps would be 12.5 MB/s (divide by 8)

Passwords and 2FA won’t stop you from being tracked when web browsing or using apps on your phone

Those are security guards, not privacy guards…

Lots of languages are typeless and the standard library is weak because web (NodeJS is good but npm is shit)

All of those things are by design and comparing JS to a fully fledged OOP language is just the sign of a clueless developer.

The JS standard is well defined and compatibility has nothing to do with the language itself

They’re also fighting the whole of EU for the same reasons. We won’t be getting Threads any time soon either

I didn’t use the wiki until 50+ hours in. You need to make your own goals. I started by making a thief and just stealing my way to the top.

You can fairly easily make money and skill up by just running around carrying and selling shit. Specialize your first characters, make the next companions workers.

It’s very much a sandbox where you make your own story.

Woah Usenet was used for other stuff than 1Gbps piracy?
