On my way to #vimalism (#vim minimalism).
Thanks to learning the standard #unix editor (#ed) I was able to reduce number of my plugins to 7 and get rid of #Neovim (which I used just for pretty markdown rendering which I no longer need).
I am able to handle everything using the VIM magic 😎

I like #Rust but the problem is its steep learning curve. Its fine for side hobby project but only few companies are actually adopting it, because it is much cheaper to write and maintain good quality code in #python or #golang than the whole dev team learn and migrate to rust. Just my experience.
Switched from #ed the standard #UNIX editor to its extended version and hit a snag: "set ignorecase" in .exrc file made my substitutions in #ex too aggressive! Regex case-sensitivity matters! 😅
Sometimes it's good that #ed does not have it's config file 😎
In case you do not know, you should start looking for a new job. Seriously.
The standard UNIX editor is great not only for learning #Vim but also #sed. it was built upon #ed, which is also a scripting language! You can write ed commands into a file and run it as ed input. Magic!
(you don't need to learn sed, actually learn #perl instead 😎 and thank me later)
The coolest thing about learning the standard #UNIX editor is that advanced #VIM techniques are standard in ed. For example, the only practical way to edit text in #ed is through #regex and substitution, which is considered magical in VIM.
To learn #vim properly, start with the standard #UNIX editor :) No need for syntax highlighting. For anything else, use the command line. Formatting text in #golang? No problem. Just run #gofmt directly from #ed.
Do you use the standard #UNIX editor? All text editors from the Vim family are successors of #ed, and ed commands work there. They are considered "advanced."
Many people show off with them on YouTube without even knowing this. I’m not showing off; I learn and use ed to properly understand and use #Vim. 😎
Editing a #golang code with the standard #UNIX editor. No #VIM, #neovim, #vscode , no syntax highlight or anything like else. This has the 70's vibe :) #ed

2. #Pascal 2010
3. #C 2012
4. #Java 2013
5. #Python 2013
6. #C++ 2014
7. #Perl 2014
8. #Javascript 2015
9. #Swift 2017
10. #Golang 2019
Whats you favourite feature? One of my top 5 is that ALL types have implemented its string method so that we can print anything :)
DevOps programming path
The best programming path for #DevOps, #SysAdmin, #Infrastructure #Platform Engineers, #SRE etc is: POSIX Shell -> Perl -> Golang.
Change my mind 😎
Great, I will take a look!
Wow, except starship and ripgrep I do not know the tools you are mentioning at all! Thanks for tips, I will check them ;)
My life has become much easier since I started using the "bat" utility instead of "cat". Bat is a "Better cAT", offering significant improvements. I use it with other terminal file utilities to display file contents with syntax highlighting, especially alongside "#fd" and "#fzf".
Are you aware of bat? Anyone using it here?

"We have the cloud! Who needs sysadmins anymore?!" Its funny because its true. People do not understand even cloud applications needs to be maintained.
And almost impossible to explain that cloud is just somebody else's computers which need to be maintained as well 😃
After using and paying for Proton Drive by nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnrda5kuen4dejzuctswqq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwd4hhxarj9ec82csqyr084f3mr3lgp8mx5eaae54afj2j5zwd2thqrmtakdvdpxadjluyq92zm4e for a year, I suddenly found nearly all my files (>10k) duplicated with strange "(# Name Clash" in their names, doubling my storage usage.
I opened a support ticket, but they told me to delete all the files manually! I replied that they have no moral right to make me delete tens of thousands of files due to their error and asked for a script to remove the duplicates. They refused.
So, I made my own and am sharing it publicly. Maybe it will help someone.
F*ck you, Proton—you should hire people like me, not these lazy bastards you employ 😎

Proton Drive suddenly duplicated all my local files. Time to get my hands dirty and code #Perl script which would recursively remove all these files.

People are increasingly struggling to live in this world of probability and coincidence.
I am trying to understand this probabilistic world. I began this journey by discovering Hanlon's Razor. Do you know it?
