I have 16 firefox tabs open. On my home computer. For me, that's like 160 for a normal person, maybe 1600, lol.

All stuff ;)

That's some discipline!

I gave up managing tabs on mobile, I just have firefox export all the tab URLS to plain text, save them to a file, and clear them all every few months. ;)

Well, I say I gave up. I'm doing a decent job this time around.

Lol, and folks, I made a funny (in bash!)

#!/usr/bin/env bash

CD - uses my ulocate script and fzf to jump to any directory found within my home directory

set -u undeclared variables as errors

function warn {
echo "$" >&2
}
function swoon { # (something in between a warn and a die ;)
warn "$
"
exit 0
}
function die {
warn "$*"
exit 1
}

Extended are great for place names like "Wellesley" where you can not remember if it's Welesley, Welleseley, Wellesselley, Welleslley, or Welesslley to save your dadburn life. ;)

@RL_Dane @amin Looks like it was probably this: https://www.archives.gov/research/census/soundex (though I haven't checked the chronology)

I find myself missing the 's "bring up" / "push down" window stacking buttons all of a sudden.

@RL_Dane I always loved them. The Amiga UI was really nice, also to program.

Well, sleep, you eluded me today.

I'd like to blame my hobby/obsession/hyperfocus-du-jour, the , but really, it was my bladder. :P

Yep yep!

I was reading something online that said, "It's fascinating that ALL mammals, independent of size take 21 seconds to urinate."

I was like... "SHUT UP." XD

Hey folks,

Anyone have a sample FS-UAE config using a hard disk directory?

I've looked everywhere, and there's nothing that tells you how to actually use/configure it.

@RL_Dane @Tionisla

I use

floppy_drive_volume_empty = 0

Doesn't stop the polling (a Good Thing), but does shut up the sound (an even better thing). 😀

@Yoss1960 @Tionisla

I settled on putting a blank floppy in the media swap list for now ;)

that warp scales used pretty simple formulas:

c=wf^3 for TOS (e.g. warp 4 = 4^3 the speed of light
c=wf^(3 1/3) for TNG for warp factors 1-9 (but not beyond 9)

@RL_Dane never go beyond 9... bad things happen beyond 9 😂

That's 10! You turn into a salamander and develop feelings for your captain. Very, very awkward.

Strange sensation just now when I plopped down on my couch with my laptop:
I fully expected my cat to jump up on my couch right after me and claim his spot on my lap.

I'm not going to launch into a dirge, but man, I miss my furson. 🥲
Almost seven months now.

@RL_Dane
I'm sorry for your loss. 😿
Pets are like family to me, since I was little I've always had a dog 🐶 and when they passed away felt like one of my good old friend gone forever.

@light

Thank you. He was my sweet furson. We had a very rare connection. I still talk to him every day

Does anyone else have issues with acting odd in in terms of focus and window management?

It will not want to get focus at random times, and I'll have to click on another window and back in firefox for it to become active. In these occasions, clicking within firefox doesn't do anything.

Odd.

It's amazing what humans can do without their brains. (Insert political joke here)

Found a great little converter/viewer for the terminal: lowdown.
It's written in very portable (-friendly!) C with no dependencies (laughs in rustc crashing my pinebook, lol) I found it in the debian repos, which is a huge plus.

Super simple to use:
$ lowdown -T term myfile.md |less -r
