  I cut my teeth on Linux when red hat was trying to make things “user friendly” with control panel like guis but they consistently couldn’t do what I wanted so I had to learn the terminal anyway.

  25+ years later, I’ll use a gui if it works and it’s easy, but I still have trust issues that I don’t have with a config file. You put shit in a config file, it’s going to do what you asked (right or wrong) or sigterm trying… And I appreciates that.

  That said, I do mostly gui config on my daily driver these days. Servers however… No gui, no problem.

  At least you didn’t have to worry about Ruin manipulating it.

  … Sorry, I’ve been reading the Mistborn series and just finished “The Hero of Ages”

  I appreciates that about you.

  I don’t know if I’ve actually seen one of your posts, but thank you nonetheless.

  Don’t mind me, I’m just going to keep up voting these posts because they’re so well done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What host names do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine are named after the penguins from the Madagascar movie : Skipper, Private, Kowalski, and Rico.

  Unfortunately there’s only four so I often supplement with a suffix. For example, I’ve got an old windows laptop kicking around that is “rico-w”

  … I should really commit to a naming scheme with a wider array of options.

  I’ve never met a mason that didn’t watch TV and listen to the radio but my sample size is only a few hundred.

  This is accurate.

  They pulled similar tomfuckery with the abortion amendment ballot initiative.
