I only customized tmux once, and that was just for fun to change the colors at a previous job to match the branding on some of our servers. Other than that, I always use the default CTRL+B (MOD) and rarely if ever do anything other than the

I’d honestly like to hear from someone who is a proponent of tipping how they think it makes any sense. By that I don’t mean I need the reason for tipping explained to my, everybody understands the argument for why you should tip: but how d

I think the point the previous poster is trying to make is that: > This license restricts how a product can be endorsed/promoted as per the clause. ...is technically not true for licenses, because they do not _restrict_ usage, rathe

I guess it all depends on your requirements, since this would still cause data loss for the delta time between failure and your last snapshot, but I'm a huge fan of ZFS, and it might be one reason to try out Postgres on FreeBSD, since
