and yes of course performing the test you are allowed to use --help and man

Oh, yeah, that sounds good. 👀
And regex would be good for BAs, too. Need that, constantly. And maybe spreadsheets.
yeah, it was just what i picked up from simple exploration... once upon a time, you only needed to be taught man and --help and you could figure out anything, if you were determined enough
You're a writer, too, Mleku.
Have you ever thought about writing something like "Introduction to Nostr System Administration and Relay Management"?
As a set of articles joined in a collection, like I'm doing. Writing down a list of everything you want to cover and then slogging through it, when you're bored.
This seems like the best way to write a technical book, because you can replace the individual articles, when they become obsolete.
More like a website, than a book, but could be "printed" as an ePub or a PDF.
it's a tough question because i am good at writing, btw, if you want to see how i write training documentation https://github.com/quanterall/kitchensink - in case i never dropped that on you
it took me about 3 weeks to put that together, but i've already had one feedback on it, finally, that afterwards they felt very confident in working with Go and writing gRPC/Protobuf API code and concurrency
the thing is, i think that my skills at writing codecs and clean, fast concurrency are more valuable to the community... hahah... when i actually get around to releasing something
i'm sure that fiatjaf at least by now has poked at my stuff at least once or twice and can see that i know my stuff... anyhow... too busy to document, writing code!
Got it.
Guess I'm more motivated because I want to create realistic and complex test material for our new event kinds.
it's often considered an insult to say that those who can, do, those who can't, teach, but we need teachers, and it's not true that they can't do, usually they can, just not better than MVP, and if you are good at writing and have hyperactive, touch trained fingers then we need that also, i'm not sure how to express how important good documentation is
my first experience with computers came through the Tandy Radio Shack Color Computer and the two big fat manuals teaching how to write code in Color Basic and Extended Color Basic were such beautiful things that i got so good at it i started building a whole GUI engine at one point, before i was even 10 years old
Yeah, I wrote an introduction to HTML, including the longest online list of tags, back in 97 and it was one of the top-returns for nearly a decade. I wrote it for myself, like I do with most documentation, because I have a brain like a sieve, so if I don't write stuff down I go nuts.
Must be in the Wayback Machine somewhere, now. I'm so old. 😅
Before the internet, I just wrote stuff down in my word processor and only I saw it, but now I can publish it, so everyone gets to enjoy it.
the people who never used the internet before 2004 just wouldn't get it
before 1999 it was hard to even get online for me, such things were still very specialised, and quite expensive
Yeah. Amazing how old we are, already. So much has changed...
Meh, wasn't that specialised, getting knocked offline every time someone made a phone call though... 😜
yeah, my life until ADSL was rolled out circa 2004
Come on, downloading video at 7k was awesome. 🤣
I see most have upped the res on their video, me not so much, I'd rather not add storage or delete shit all the time.
7k?
it was 5kb/s on shitty australian phone lines
the drama that went on for 2 years with my mother's ADSL while they fixed their leaky noisy wires for the new tech
at first we only got like 8k, then it got better to 12k and then finally after 2 years we got max speed at 24k
Got Fibre yet?
yeah, i think it's 300mbit optical here, but i'm connected via copper to the router downstairs, and my VPS/VPN is only 100mbit anyway
i see you spell like english english also
your name seems like hungarian, the name "sandor petefi" or something like this was very common in Novi Sad and i think you say it "shandor"
i love hungary, tho, itt fogyok! nem tu dom!
was very specialised in 1995 tho
my access route was via an org called APANA (australian public access network association) who i learned about from an anarchist bookshop that had a pc with an email client (pine, probably) connected up to the "anarchylist"
idk if the archives of it still exist but i was on it, back in 1995
just finished highschool the year before, and shortly after landed in the psytrance scene
