Hello fellow fish user.

Disown is. I even have a fish function written so I can do ‘launch foo’ and it’ll run foo, redirect everything to /dev/null (not sure that’s necessary, but doesn’t hurt), and then disowns the process. Mostly because I have a habit of running stuff using whatever terminal I happen to have in front of me.

Vivaldi is pretty nice and was my main browser until the announcement about MV3, but Vivaldi isn’t going to support it beyond whenever google removes MV2 from the source (IIRC, Vivaldi folks expected it around June next year). But I saw the way the wind was blowing and decided to jump ship while I could still do it and take my own sweet time doing so. In retrospect, glad I did. Still miss some features like markdown notes and sidebar web pages, but it’s still better than being buried in ads.

Contribute to projects, join code jams…

Annnnd that ended any curiosity at all I may have had for it…

If you have to advertise your company via spam, it’s prrobably garbage.

I use chatty. Works pretty good.

I amuse myself with coding, and for the last couple of years, slowly teaching myself spanish. I know it’s a little thing that will probably never matter to anyone, but it feels kind of cool that I can open mexican newspapers and not go “Wtf is this gibberish?”

Either SoX running in Termux on my phone with:

play -n synth brownnoise synth pinknoise mix synth 0 0 0 10 10 40 trapezium amod 0.1 30

(originally yoinked from I can’t remember who, in the early days of Mastodon)

or more recently, a 10-hour loop of the Sardukar chant from Dune. It’s right about the right frequency to block a lot of the noise around here and it isn’t anything intelligible for my brain to keep me awake thinking about.

If I just want some noise-blocking sound while I’m trying to code or something then myNoise has a vast array of sound generators. It was well worth kicking them $5 a while back.

Yeah, if it’s black and blue and hurts that much then you should definitely see a doctor. It may be fractured and you don’t want that healing badly.

Wallabag for some stuff, other stuff I toss into daily notes in Obsidian.

I’ve also had pretty good luck with OpenRGB and some SteelSeries stuff (though my needs are simple).

Wezterm. I love some of it’s features (quick search).

Ideally I’d like it as a playlist, sort of like youtube-tui’s library, but this seems like it might be a workable solution. Also, even if it turns out not to be, very nice script. I’ve always sucked terribly at bash scripting.

Oh definitely. I’ve been using linux on and off for…a long time. “Stuff just works” is a great thing for a daily driver (mine is xubuntu). I save the tinkering for machines I don’t need to use constantly.

Mint is my go-to linux newbie distro suggestion.

I’ve found ubuntu distros to be pretty good for 'stuff just works". My daily driver is xubuntu. That said, I’ve never tried using a printer with it. Good luck OP.

GEOS on the C64 (and possibly others)? A desktop environment before machines really had the power to pull it off decently.

Found in a time capsule in 2150: hey guys, we left you a little something over there by Vesuvius…you’ll thank us later. And you better not have built a McDonald’s on it…

Nice. I’d never heard of micro, but it looks good. yoink

Just adding my congrats. Good job, OP. Regex is super useful stuff.
