Download 5 seasons of some show from multiple sources or some artist’s entire discography, and want to normalize all the file names? It is way easier in the terminal.
I’ll check this out, but I use https://github.com/stevearc/oil.nvim for such tasks as I have nvim’s full suite of editor commands to rename all the files way faster than I could in a GUI. I’m sure there are GUI apps to perform a similar task, but I already know how to use nvim.
In the same boat as the other poster, its been like 10 years.
I used GNS3 and Cisco VIRL way back in the day.
Depending on your use case, you can pretty far with just docker and some Linux packages. I’ve done GRE, BGP, OSPF, ISIS, Open vSwitch. That’s Linux networking though. If you’re trying to prep for a specific vendor’s cert, it might not meet your needs.
Does look like someone had success running virtual devices in docker that might be of interest: https://github.com/vrnetlab/vrnetlab
I’m not against having a car for when I need it. I’m against pretty much requiring it to be a functional adult to do just about anything without public transit becoming my new hobby.
Work: 20min drive, 1h 20min transit, 2h bike
Groceries: 10min drive, 45min transit
This includes a bunch of walking to/from stops and half the time spent waiting since my city’s public transit hub/spoke model is designed for airplanes requiring you to bounce between hubs.
There also isn’t consistency. A favorable route might only come once every few hours. If one hop is running late, it can wreck the whole route.
My work route is pretty direct but it takes 12min walking, 0-20min waiting for a bus to my local hub, 0-40min waiting for the right train, and another 15min walking to the office. If they got those wait times down to like 10-20min total, I’d be more inclined to use it. Right now “something” comes every 20min, but sometimes the routes alternate so your route may come every 40min instead of 20min.
Something like vim-table-mode work as an improvement? You got me there though, tables can be a real pain in a terminal.
For the second, I setup an on save hook or watch script to build a PDF and open it. Its been a minute, but I think I had to find a PDF viewer that would refresh if already open and keep the current position on subsequent opens.
Best of luck finding something that works for you!
Need more info.
The answer will still and always be, just use nvim.
What features do these dedicated tools have that make you want to use something other than nvim?
I haven’t made a keyboard in awhile but anything that supports QMK (or whatever is new and shiny today) should be able to support this.
QMK and the like are custom firmware so you can pretty much code up whatever feature you need.
If you are looking for a pre-built, I know my Tofu65 supports QMK from https://kbdfans.com/.
QMK is written in C but they do have a no code tool I used for my Tofu65: https://config.qmk.fm/#/.
If the tool doesn’t cover your use case and you are able to do a little C, these sections are good starting points for layers (what you call modes) and cursor keys.
My work laptop is a Dell Precision. It was a “data science” model that came with Ubuntu. Wiped Dell’s modified Ubuntu and put vanilla Ubuntu on it and now running Nixos. Works great. There was a weird period when using triple monitors with their dock had an intermittent issue on boot where resolutions and monitors were not being detected. Cause was Nvidia drivers. It eventually got resolved and it was easy enough to rollback the drivers to one that worked.
Won’t auto update but you could add the upgrade command to a login script or something.
Won’t lie, nix has a high learning curve to get the most out of it, but installing a single app is pretty simple.
It was really good. Seeing Logan and Loki (series) would help follow the plot some if you haven’t seen either but I didn’t feel it was hard requirement. There are throwbacks to past Fox superhero movies, but they didn’t add critical plot points.
Lots of 4th wall breaking including ripping into Disney, Fox, and the post Endgame downward spiral of MCU.
I open the conversation with “Jmp.chat bot” in Cheogram. That particular conversation has two tabs, conversation or commands. On the commands tab I have “Buy account credit by…”.
That is a good point, will have to check my benefits. Thanks!
The one that didn’t die right array was also a botched update. Never got the firmware over email (Hisense). Vizio, Sony, and Samsung were the ones that died right after warrenty.
I use an external media box so I don’t update them anymore.
Most startups I’ve applied to are Linux friendly.
I currently work for a fortune 100 and managed to get a Linux machine purchased as a “lab” machine.
I’m fully in control. IT doesn’t even know it exists. I’m not allowed on the corporate network, but I managed to get some internal corporate access through another department’s lab network (IT sanctioned) that has a VPN with a few routes to things like ticketing, time cards, and our internal wiki. Most of the stuff I need to do my job is in AWS and we are allowed to add home IPs to the security groups.
IT still gives me a MacBook. I use it like once every 6 months.
nixos-unstable is the only thing I will use currently.
I’m running bleeding edge stuff like the latest kernel, Hyprland nightly, my own “shell” built from Gnome components and lots of custom stuff using GJS (Gnome JavaScript).
If you get one, and you are free to do whatever on it, encrypt your drives like your job depends on it. I have a memorized passphrase, pin protected hardware key, and a key in TPM. No biometrics.
As far as other nice things to have:
I work in software dev as FYI. For the few issues I have, my team has more issues getting stuff working consistently on macOS for our project. I used that as a justification when requesting the laptop: my dev environment should closely match our runtime environment. Most of that is moot now since we use Nix flakes in our repos for local dev envs.
They also don’t last. I’ve bought 6 flat screens since 2006. 4 have died, all in the second year of ownership. 3 of those died on month 13, 1 month after the warranty. 1 of those died the day after the warranty expired…
I swear they plan for them to die right after warranty or I just have the worst luck. Doesn’t matter if I spend $500 or $3000+ on name brand. I started saving money on the last two that died by insuring them. At this point I’m just leasing them until they die.
Yeah I don’t want locally deleted media (to free up space) to sync those deletions to my remote.
My crypted remotes wrap a B2 Backblaze one which doesn’t delete, just hides. Periodically I go clean it up.
You are correct, fixed!
I’ve been getting weird walking instructions. Like 6 min walk is +30 to avoid some invisible barrier.
