‘No AI has been involved in creating this article.’ I like that. Reminds of ‘no synthesizers on this record’ of the 80s :D

Just recently I learned that one can also define functions in .bash_aliases. Very handy.

grim + slurp ftw. On my system mod+ctrl+s -> select area by drawing a box -> screenshot saved as shot.png in the Downloads directory where even sandboxed apps can read it. Next shot just overwrites the previous one.

Re Microsoft in general. I had to install Powershell on Linux recently to get a work related task done. It was packaged on the Arch User Repository, so easily done.

Got the task done and went to uninstall Powershell and realised there that the installed size was 186 MB. Checked the installed size of Linux-zen kernel and modules: 143 MB. So this tiny MS command-line utility was heftier than the kernel and drivers for all supported hardware. How do they even manage that?

Finland, so observation still stands :D

Is that the ocean? Just seeing a photo strikes awe. Nice spot to set up camp, though got to be windy :D

I’ve had to learn heavy duty bashing for work, and happily did take the plunge. However, they also had me learn PHP and I’ll drop this as a hook and line for OP: you can do shell-script duties with PHP also, and once you hit your head on sed enough times, I hope you remember me telling this. All that string manipulation is much nicer with PHP functions, and for running shell commands there is shell_exec(). :)

Amen! 46 and happy to confirm, although for me the break point was at 30 when my first child was born. An earlier breakthru was around 27 when doing my second outing of zen meditation and realising that my thoughts are not me, but more like the wind on my face, they come and go.

So my 5 euro-cents on this: become a parent or meditate to accelerate the process :)

I recently discovered kmscon: a hardware accelerated utf-8 & emoji capable replacement for the standard Linux console. Put that on.

It’s not going to be cheap, technical fabrics are pretty expensive at least when shopping at specialty online shops. One might get lucky with Chinese cheapo outlets. Materials for my hammocks cost around 120 € a pop.

It was indeed to have a few things my way. First thing is that any store-bought double layer hammock fails to actually utilise the layering: on mine, the outer layer (windproof silnylon) is 7 cm longer ridgeways than the weight-bearing inside layer (static & breathable monofil). This way there is an air gap between the layers, so the wind doesn’t chill my back. The monofil is also great in that it doesn’t gather condensation in the winter, since the material is practically mesh.

Second thing was that there were no hammocks in the shops that would use the awesome monofil fabric in the first place :D It’s well worth making a hammock just to get to use that stuff. I was worried it’d be brittle in the winter, but no, just perfect :)

One tip: use Gütermann Mara 70 for the thread and you have a hammock for life. Had my two hammocks for four years or so, nothing has broken.

I’ve made two hammocks so far, and both turned out very nicely. Not difficult at all. The other one is for the summer months, it has a zippered bugnet.

Cozy and dozy! The underquilt is pure magic.

Oh no, diagonal is the thing! The underquilt does accommodate that too. Lying on the centerline is just plain not doing it right :)
