Add a pager like `less` (e.g. `$ projects | less`). And `exit` should close the page.

Arch. Using it for 4 years, both at home and at work (also have Raspberry Pi 4 under Arch Linux ARM). I'm a bit perplexed why it is considered less stable than "your typical Linux distro". Never used Debian, but I used Ubuntu

Haven't watched much of anime, and haven't watched any for more than a decade. But back then I had huge impression from Azumanga Daioh. Nothing special in plot, just a year in the life of a few schoolgirls. But such lively and uni

There is no arguing here against eating stuff that has meat-like properties (nutritional content and perhaps even taste). The issue is whether we have to torture billions of mammals and birds for that. I don't think it matters for your

Lions, sharks and birds, even if they have consciousness, do not have intelligence. They cannot choose whether to cause harm/pain/death to anyone or not. Humans do have that capability, and to get food could have figured out somet

From Kazakhstan here. Didn't use cash literally for a couple of years. AT ALL. Almost everything can be paid via mobile app (though basically only one bank - Kaspi bank). Products (including dill at bazaar), taxi, even public toilet -

Absolutely. I forgot to mention - at around the same time I bought open earbuds (Samsung buds Live, to be concrete) which I found comfortable - they don't block external sound and I practically don't feel them in the ears.

For about a year already, I use ASMR audio/visuals when I go to bed (strange, not even mentioned in the referenced post). I found they help me falling asleep (though, probably, not staying asleep). Also, not just any ASMR stuff does th

For me, Bram is probably among names like Tarkovsky, Stravinsky and Attenborough, who greatly affected the way I see/feel life. R.I.P.

Zotero is awful. It's heavyweight - in fact, a whole separate browser only to manage my bibligraphy (ever tried to use it with ~10k items?). Provides no CLI interface (to automate workflows with scripts). It's data model is weird

Was re-watching The Limits of Control by Jim Jarmusch recently, and realised it had a reference to Tarkovsky's Stalker in the scene with the "cinema lady". "The best films are like dreams you're never sure you&#x27

Are there real-life examples where "traditional non-safe" sudo/su lead to problems?

Lua seems to be widespread in games, but in fact is a very nice tool to make day-to-day apps user-extendible (with neovim and mpv being a couple of examples).

The only downside is that it's a pain to work with a regular keyboard due to muscle memory. Though that doesn't occur often in my case.

I have remapped caps lock on my keyboard to Esc, so it works everywhere, not only for Vim. Very convenient, symmetric to Enter. I hardly ever need caps lock as such.

> Does it suck to maintain almost 200GB of audio files? Yes. In what way does is suck? I have about 1TB of audio files on local disks, which I manage with beets + mpd. No troubles at all.

What's the point of uploading the music somewhere, and even more so paying for that?

Lenovo Legion 5 (even though I don't play games) with Arch Linux. This is the only working machine at my home, so I have an external monitor and keyboard attached. No complaints whatsoever, works fine with UWHD on external display, etc

It's just too often that what they say disagrees with what they do, and too often that they declare reforms. They promised the freedom of speech, and yet, right now, before the presidential elections, they try to shut the mouths of jou

As someone actually living in Kazakhstan, I would not take any words of the current government too seriously.
