Dunno where CP/M got it from but PIP and REN use DEST.EXT=SRC.EXT, so that arg style dates back to then at least.
Also, CP/M 2.2’s ED is great, it’s my daily driver editor on my RC2014.
E: Wow, I really can’t type.
Hello, I’m an archivist who does things.
E? E.

Vectrex, hands-down.

sad XMPP noises


The hell is autocorrect? (I use Unexpected Keyboard)
Also, my distro of choice is generally Debian or Kubuntu. I am aware that using canonical’s distro is gonna get me skinned alive, and I have serious issues with some of the OS, but it also hasn’t given me enough frustration to outright replace it yet. Especially when you consider that I’m running it on a Surface Pro 9 of all things, and Debian doesn’t have a new enough Plasma version last I checked.
Wow, that was a rant, oops.


Personally, I’m a big fan of XMPP, due to the inherent resiliency in being decentralized/federated, and due to the security provided by OMEMO (based on signal’s algorithm). Don’t have to worry about third-parties messing with my data if it stays on my server that’s in my house.


Matrix has flaws as well, use XMPP.
In theory you can fire up vi(m) in an emacs terminal, so… I guess?
I call my server “the server”, “the shitbox”, or “the 36TB”, my pc “the PC”, and my surface… “the surface”. Creative, I know.


Accidentally put grub on the wrong partition on the device, which it was not happy with. Was able to copy some files over, manually boot the OS, and reconfigure grub to be in the right partition, took me about 2 hours? Then I did it again on a different machine, and speedran it lol
Started with Raspbian when I first got my Pi, and have mostly used KUbuntu or Debian since.
I haven’t tried running a matrix server, but ejabberd has been very solid, and it’s not too difficult to set up.
