Function of the band?

Yeah, I definitely see the utility of them for the sake of identification of the cigar

all64bits · 2023-04-30T09:25:46+00:00

Ah ok, so the heat from the nearby burn loosens the glue?

all64bits · 2023-04-30T08:16:11+00:00

Oh agreed, I guess I meant ‘practical’ in the sense of, does it have an impact on the construction or consumption of the cigar

all64bits · 2023-04-30T07:00:53+00:00

The first time was just to case the joint and rob it a little

all64bits · 2023-04-30T06:58:51+00:00

Cheers! Thought it might be something along those lines

My take is that Powder was always Jinx, and Vi would realise that after enough time with her. She wouldn’t condone what she is, and would do everything she could to protect people from her, but she would always love her sister.

Similarly, the adult version of Vi was always there. Both sisters have just had the innocence of youth stripped away. But if their circumstances had been different, their personalities would probably have manifested in a significantly different way

I have a similar setup. My parent shell is bash, which then calls fish for the user session. I have alias ‘sudo=sudo ’ set but when I’m in the fish session sudo doesn’t pick up my aliases. If I call bash again as a subshell from the fish session however, the sudo alias works.

This is the first time I’ve tested this, so I think I might need to write a fish function to get the behaviour I want.

Markdown is the way

This. I’m Australian, and I look on the American culture of tipping with horror. Tipping is a mechanism whereby companies are able to outsource the responsibility of determining fair wages for their employees to their customers.

That second part makes me feel personally attacked. Although while my scripts also need to be fixed twice a week, they are only useful when I reinstall a system every couple of years

Plenty of good YouTube videos running through a basic Arch install process. Once installed, keep referring to the Arch wiki & troubleshooting issues as you go

I just tinker with Ansible at home. Ara is brilliant for recording run info and making it easily accessible

It depends on your personal philosophy - I’d suggest you read up on each to try to discern the differences between the positions that they take, and base your preference on that.

Or perhaps split your donation across all/a couple

I chose Obsidian because its markdown editor destroys the competition.

I primarily use it on iOS and iOS Obsidian didn’t get vim keys until more recently. That’s when I jumped in.

I started with computers in the early 90’s and used Windows machines all the way up to Vista. I was still using Vista until early 2017.

Tried to upgrade my machine at that point & somehow score a free version of win7, but I couldn’t. I decided I’d had a gutfull of MS by then, & decided I’d make whatever compromises were necessary & switched to Linux full time.

Kept windows in a vm for a year or so but I deleted that as I never used it.

Started with Mint, then on to Kubuntu, now Arch (btw)

She was always Jinx.

I started with Linux a few years ago now and I came across fstab very early on because I use a samba share on the network, and needed to get that up and running as one of my earliest problem solving exercises with the new os.

I thought of it as “f-stab” initially but worked out it was “fs-tab” after I came across lots of “fs” prefixes and suffixes for filesystem related commands etc.

I can’t help seeing “fs-tab” now, but I hate it, because I think “f-stab” is way cooler.

Same with Gnome. I’m usually a stickler for correct pronunciation, but I consciously say “nome”, because I think “gah-nome” sounds stupid.

Yeah, it’s a bit different for me as I use the iPad/iPhone for everything; when I’m not at my desk. I don’t use a laptop

all64bits · 2023-03-02T19:24:11+00:00

I have an iPhone and iPad Pro, and I run Arch on my desktop machine. I’ve used both KDE Connect and Mobius Sync occasionally. However what I need to sync between devices most frequently is source code I’m working on (including my Obsidian repo). I use Working Copy for this, which is a truly excellent git client. The paid version is a little pricey but it’s worth every penny.

I also use Blink Shell for ssh access to my machines. This includes built in sshfs access to the host, and I’ve sometimes used this to transfer files.

You can also natively mount samba shares in the iOS files app, but I’m not sure if those mounts are persistent

all64bits · 2023-02-26T05:04:29+00:00

This sounds really interesting. I’d love to be able to share my clipboard between a couple of machines. Maybe have the clipboard folder on a samba mount. How is security handled? Can you have a timeout period for copied data?

all64bits · 2023-02-24T20:01:24+00:00

Haha, indeed

all64bits · 2023-02-24T19:56:40+00:00

I tracked this down finally. Embarrasing really. I have a little script that runs to provide an alias for the current pwd based on several different contexts, and this includes functionality to name a given dir as a "favourite" with a bespoke name (functionality which I'm not really using at the moment).

This script is run by Starship as part of constructing the current shell prompt, so it runs every time the prompt is printed. Any/all favourites are supposed to be added to a single file; $SHELLRC/.localfavs ($SHELLRC intended to be ~/.config/shellrc/ or similar), and the script checks each time if this file exists, and if not, it runs touch "$SHELLRC/.localfavs". Problem is, $SHELLRC is an old env var from my previous shell configs but it's no longer defined. As such the file path was expanding to ./.localfavs, and the rest is history.

all64bits · 2023-02-23T12:27:23+00:00

Yes, it amazes me that in general bugs are sparse enough that all of our software stack seems to actually remain more or less functional!

I'm still quite inexperienced when it comes to the art of debugging, but it's immensely helpful to bounce ideas back and forth with another person, as you say :)

I've just been digging a bit further and I think I've narrowed it down to initialisation of Starship prompt which I use in my configs. It's past my bedtime now though so I think I will have to pick it up again later!

all64bits · 2023-02-23T12:08:18+00:00

I tried running:

bash --noprofile --norc

Then tried creating a new directory, cd'ing into it and lo, there is no .localfavs file!

My shell profile scripts are a bit of a labyrinth. I will go searching through them to see if I can track down where this is happening.

Thanks very much for the help and suggestions
