I use Fish as a user shell everywhere I can and end up using Bash daily for scripting and on servers/VMs/containers at work, I've also been using Nushell a lot recently for personal scripts. Biggest drawbacks for me is mixing

There's Lix, although I'm not clear on if it's about changes to the language or if it's entirely focused on improving the tooling. https://lix.systems/

The company that I work for makes a b2b wholesale platform. We use Rust on the backend for its reliability. The performance is a nice bonus too.

Discord is pretty good, although it's gaming focused so not ideal if you're looking for something professional.

Syncthing instead of dropbox. Works great for synching music (and only music as I can just sync a single folder) and for replicating important files across multiple computers. I've got it on a linode and across all my computers. https

That and water is very good at storing heat meaning that it stays skin blisteringly hot even after the rest of the food has cooled down to edible levels.

It's serverless in that there is no specific server running it. The website is distributed across Ipfs and the chat is peer-to-peer.

Syncthing handles this pretty well. Only downside (upside in some cases) is that it's self hosted rather than a service. https://syncthing.net/

Just [0] is a pretty great generic task runner incase anyone is looking for one. It's written in Rust so it doesn't introduce any new languages (single binary install) and it uses a make inspired syntax but aims to avoid some of M

I'm the opposite, I prefer multi monitor. I like that separation between the things I'm doing, e.g. code and documentation, games and chat.

Aren't they a species of Dolphin rather than an actual Whale? I think the name comes from a mis-translation and should be whale killer. I'll have a look for a source if I can later.

My vote goes for Syncthing too, simple single binary install and works with no configuration. I've installed it on my desktop, vps, laptop, and phone use it instead of Dropbox now. I've even got two non techy friends to install it
