Bad wording on my part, I wasn’t disagreeing. My file server has a /files directory because it saves me a few key strokes and because I can.

Is Gobo case-insensitive by default? Typing those seems annoying.

That’s an old image, though - Windows has a C:\Users\youruser setup like /home/youruser for a while now.

I find the %APPDATA% thing way less convenient than ~/.config and I’m quite happy when programs have the “bug” that they still use ~/.config on Windows.

I like that idea of using the different fonts for e.g. Copilot suggestions - reminds me of reading Asterix comics as a kid when they’d use gothic black for the Goth’s speech, etc.

edit: e.g.

There’s kroki as well, which includes Mermaid, Excalidraw, GraphViz, PlantUML, etc.

For me it’s the Intellivision with its controllers that were attached with phone cords and those plastic inserts that would customise the controller for each game.

I think we only had one game, Triple Action (although only the tanks and biplanes were worth playing).

My parents’ house still has more vintage tech than most computer museums.

Well yeah, you need to do the computation somewhere and it’s not doing it on the server so…

Yup, I think a lot of people just use their web browser for everything, and they can definitely just switch. Outside of work, how many non-techies have set up their email to use a native program? Very few, in my experience.

I think documents are sometimes the exception, since there’s a sizable (perhaps older) group that like to use Word for everything.

Oh, that’s LAN - I thought you’d put ian and I was trying to get the joke. Stupid sans-serif fonts.

Thunderbird on desktop, although I don’t love it.

FairEmail on Android.

I haven’t used atuin yet, but I believe the histories from other machines is more like accessible than mixed - you don’t just hit ↑ on machine1 and see machine2 commands.

Well good news then, since they were joking (I guess) - it’s a mod to improve Grim Fandango Remastered’s graphics.

I used to have some with e-ink displays that showed how full they were, but I always wished I could use them to show a label instead.

function delete-branches() {
  git branch |
    grep --invert-match '\*' |
    cut -c 3- |
    fzf --multi --preview="git log {} --" |
    xargs --no-run-if-empty git branch --delete --force
}

This is really slick.

Back in the naughties PCLinuxOS was at #1 and people suspected them of cheating. I’m sure some people do try to game it, but there’s plenty of organic and bot traffic to compete with.

Besides, I think the popularity thing’s kinda backwards - I’d never visit Ubuntu or Fedora because I know what they are, but I’ll be clicking on something novel out of curiosity.

As far as I know I made it up, but I stand ready to be surprised!

I like it too, even though it didn’t notify me when the trial was up like it said it would. I was planning on buying the lifetime (or uninstalling) but it autobilled me for a year instead.

Anyway, here’s mine:

Distro watch rankings are just which page gets the most hits. Get a bunch of different IPs to load LemmyLinux and it’ll be number one (and then actual people will click on it to see what it is and why it’s number one).

Thinking there must be another way, I switched to Haproxy.

Hang on, weren’t you on Haproxy already? Or do you mean you switched your attention to Haproxy? (If not, what were you in before?)

As others have said, blocking incoming stuff as high up as possible is definitely the right way, and Cloudflare is the right place for you. It’s interesting that this bot wasn’t caught by Cloudflare, I wonder who runs it.

I feel a company that big would write a more competent bot, but I also wouldn’t be too astonished.
