  • You can always try out their free Tier.

    While you get limited bandwidth it’s really okayish for normal use. Do not try to connect over a peer2peer connection, it’s disabled in the free tier and your connection goes "Wooosh! *

    I’m very Happy with their free tier, I even route my mobile’s traffic through the same VPN connection with wireguard and some iptables.

  • The icon created by meta gives me shivers…

    I know why you did it so fast and why you choose ⁂, it’s already present and works as expected and probably to overcome meta’s implication into the fediverse…

    However, every symbol didn’t exist at first and became popular on it’s own because it defended something people found important and fought for (Like the peace symbol)!

    Maybe create our own symbol and let it make enough noise so it becomes it’s own symbol?

    Sorry if it isn’t clear what I mean by that :/


  • Sometimes, the less you say, the better. You have to manipulate them and do not worry about if it’s bad/wrong. In the corporate world, most are just greedy assholes who don’t care about who you are.

    Don’t ever lie on your resume, just make it glittery on how THEY want to see it, not how you feel about it.

    It’s a sad world we are living in right now, good luck don’t ever give up !






  • Hiii !

    That’s not a nano problem, that’s just where you’re at on the learning curve right now. You probably would have made the same trip-ups in another text editor for the same reason.

    You’re right ! but I have to add that I found nano’s default shortcuts really “out-of-tune” and not intuitive at all (personal opinion). Sure I could have changed them to my liking, but that would cause portability issues I do not want to cope with !

    I don’t think you have to learn every last little thing about a text editor, just what you normally do: Move the cursor around, enter text, delete text, search, replace. Don’t worry about learning everything, learn what you need as you need it.

    👍

    As for universal, I’m afraid that it’s probably going to be vi and its descendants. It’s been included in many UNIXes and UNIX-alikes for decades (it’s even built into busybox) for a reason: It’s small, lean, mean, and if you absolutely, positively have to rescue a broken box, it’s always there in /bin.

    Ouch ! A lot of people actually tend to suggest that also, while I only tried vim once, I just uninstalled it after I had to google “how to exit vim” :| ! It was way to much of a hassle to just edit text :/. But as I read above, and as you said, just learning the basic stuff is enough to begin to like it and get comfortable.

    I’m uncertain which one I should stick with, someone suggested Micro, which seems really cool and more in sync on how I use the terminal at the moment. But there’s also the fact that vim is more universal and present everywhere, and even If you, as a long timer, switched to vi after 15 years, shouldn’t I just make the switch right now?


    One last technical question if you don’t mind, I already asked someone else but I’m interested in your long lasting technical expertise.

    Does It make sense to adapt/sync the keybinding shortcuts between the terminal and the text editor? Or do you know which one to use in every case scenario? Probably stupid, but that was probably my initial question with my Post, because I was sooo frustrated I couldn’t use the same shortcuts in nano… That’s what I was referring as “universal”, (wrong word choice :).

    Thank you for your inputs !!!
