   I wish the response to RMS returning to the FSF board in March 2021 would've been more like this article instead of the self-righteous outrage we actually got. Secondly, it seems Vim was forked for less disagreeableness from Bram than

   I try to take a note whenever I fix some major issue with my system. Querying my memory doesn't yield much; definitely not specific dates :)

   I booted a live system from a USB thumb drive and then pulled down a backup using rsync. After that, I adjusted my `/etc/fstab`, `chroot`ed into the new (old) system, ran `mkinitcpio -P`, and generated a new GRUB configuration fil

   I can provide some details regarding the times things did break that I mentioned in the article. * In September 2014, X broke, and I created an `/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config` file with the lines `allowed_users = anybody` and `nee

    This is cool. I started using your app after reading about it here a few days ago. I guess you want to keep it as simple as possible, but have you considered adding the option to edit the email before it gets sent?

    Mine is a file named oneliners.bash [1], and I have a Bash keybind (Control+I) [2] that runs fzf with that file as input and lets me select a command. [1]: https://github.com/meribold/dotfiles/blob/e4dc5ee09d9

    I just installed the iOS app and as far as I can tell there's no option to sync using Git.

    That's fair and usually all you need, but here are two reasons I still find my script useful: * The commits are made on a not checked-out branch. This means `git diff` and my editor continue to show me my changes compared to the last &

    This is basically a poor man's Dura ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29784238 ) in 20 lines of Bash that is run manually instead of using a background process and a timer.

    This is just a tiny Bash script, but I feel like it might be useful to someone other than myself. It's basically a poor man's Dura ( https://github.com/tkellogg/dura ) that is triggered manually instead of usin
