10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know You Could do With Nano Editor

OK, you probably do know at least one or two of these, but I’ve added the auto backup, line numbers, mouse support, and scroll bar to an alias for every time I start up nano.

On , at least at , nano is still the default install from the U of Washington contribs (not pico).

I just went out to get my kid off the bus. It's cold outside, so I put on a gray pea coat over my T-shirt and blue plaid flannel pajama pants. It's snowing, so I added a black wool Stetson. Then the bus was late (probably due to the 2" of snow on the ground), so I pulled on some tan leather lined work gloves and shoveled the walk.

Fortunately it was my younger who was getting off the bus, and she is rather a sartorial free spirit. My older would have been mortified.

It uses as much power and water as Guatemala and the primary use case is for management consultants to autogenerate powerpoints for justifying mass layoffs.”

The oldest 30 active pixelfed.social users will be invited to beta test @loops this weekend if everything goes as planned.

More pixelfed.social users will be invited over the next few weeks and eventually we'll be ready to open to everyone.

I want to get Loops shipped ASAP, even if it means delaying some major features (comments, notifications, mentions, hashtags) by a few weeks.

Good idea, There's going to be a lot of effort during these next few months to produce something akin to Vine or YouTube Shorts, in anticipation of filling a void.

Shipping early to get those root balls well into spreading through the soil is prudent - just provide lots of sunlight and water :)

Funny thing about Therac-25. Comes up in literally every discussion about how dangerous software can be (still is), but it's been 40 years. I don't think we should forget the lessons of the past, but at some point maybe we should acknowledge the past is the past not the present.

The amount of software in life critical medical systems is magnitudes greater than in the Therac times. If nothing has improved, shouldn't we have more recent tragedies to reference?

@tedu

That's not freaky-deaky at all... NOT.

Couldn't even find the programmer after he left the corporation. A software maintenance nightmare.

But until just the past couple of years, there's been major concerns with login access to medical equipment - especially wrt insecure WiFi SSIDs.

I don't think that really falls under the "hindsight" proverb either, IMO, it's kinda moronic at the outset. Machines that monitor and administer delivery of medication, pacemakers, Etc.

Does anyone use the "g" + letter combination keyboard shortcuts? I'm wondering where its origin are from. Also made a quick comparison table of them for Pinafore, Mastodon, X and Elk (Phanpy doesn't support them).

tallship,
@tallship@social.sdf.org avatar

@cheeaun

I'm not sure I follow. Do you mean like "^g + ...", or "Alt-g + ...)"?.

Or just the letter "g" itself is a hotkey in one of those web clients?

Elpher (a Gopher/Gemini client in Emacs) uses in this manner, as do some other cli clients (vi/Vim), etc., but in a GUI I'm mostly used to seeing either the Ctrl (^), or Alt keys used, even in most terminals, i.e., "Alt + Shift +v" to paste in most Linux/BSD terminal clients, analagous to Windows' "^v", While Tmux is "^b + ..."

I loathe those little mouse pointer controls popping up like awhackamole in the middle of the keyboard - every time I see one of those I just wanna grab a pair of pliers, rip it right out of the keyboard, and stick it onto the end of a pencil as if it were a brand new replacement eraser, lolz....

to this day I even disable the track pads and carry around a little USB mouse. Otherwise my lazy palm wreaks havoc on any document I'm currently editing 🤣

Interesting little dilemma I'm facing with the testing of conversation containers. The parts I'm having the most difficulty with are 1) groups and 2) moderated comments.

Ironically, conversation containers make both of these things a piece of cake. A constrained conversation by definition relays all content to its audience, which is exactly what a group does. A constrained conversation also by definition is a moderated conversation because a comment isn't part of the conversation until it has been added to it by the owner.

So why is there a problem?

Mastodon.

We altered everything we did in bizarre ways a few years ago just to make our consent-driven communications compatible with the elephant in the room. And even though this new architecture does away with all of the ActivityPub hacks and performs the same operations in completely legal ActivityPub objects without requiring any extensions, Mastodon doesn't recognise the entire concept of groups and moderated content. So we'll either need to come up with hacks that make our stuff compatible with their primitive data model, or just say "fugg it" and do it the right way and "fugg them" if they don't want to play in a more capable vision of the ActivityPub universe.

I'm leaning towards the latter. We're creating a better, friendlier, and safer fediverse. This train has been building momentum for 14 years and has no brakes.

Please don't stand on the tracks.

Mike...

it, and Fugg them - they don't play nice in the sandbox anyway, and can take their little broken toys and go home.

Just concentrate on:

1.) Doing it right (as you relate you are).
and
2.) Doing what you can (within reason) to accommodate and interoperate with the other prominent, responsible projects. A few I would note would be:

  • Friendica
  • Mitra
  • The Pleroma family of forks
  • The Misskey family of forks
