23 years later, Antitrust is still a great movie. Featuring Gnome desktop and all the anti-Microsoft sentiment from the 90's. We all wanted to be Milo.

Up next: Hackers.

What are some other movies to watch?

Something that served me well over the year, viewing a configuration files without the comment and the newlines with sed:

sed -e '/^#/d' -e '/^$/d' file.conf

so you can see a clean version of all the settings you have set in the file..

Friendly reminder that

#!/bin/sh
set -e

is better than

#!/bin/sh -e

because the latter stops working when you do "sh script.sh" instead of "./script.sh".

I keep forgetting the name but aria2 is just great when you want to download a torrent on a server. One parameter (magnet or torrent file) and it starts downloading.

Just finished and quite enjoyed "You Are Not Expected to Understand This" - essays about how simple pieces of software have changed the world. https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691208480/you-are-not-expected-to-understand-this Of course, being a nerd, the title immediately got my attention.

The Internet Archive has a couple dozen issues of Unix Review magazine published in 1984 and 1985.

Lots of very interesting information around the time of System 3 and BSD 4, a significant era of Unix evolution and momentum. There's great technical, market, and historical information in those issues such as interviews with Unix pioneers like Stu Feldman, Bill Joy, and more.

Of course, a well-crafted .vimrc is critical. How else would you maintain that aura of superiority vital for deflecting questions from less-enlightened coworkers? Everyone knows you must have a perfect Vim configuration file before writing any production code.
