This + org-mode are enough for me to switch to Emacs.

Also excited for this. I tried KDE before but I didn’t find it easy to configure (too manually for a declarative guy like me). I like more the simplicity of Gnome.

Better learn COBOL now.

Second. Up-to-date packages and stable at the same time.

Seriously, Youtube Shorts, Tiktok, Facebook stories can go to hell.

Let’s build the Internet again, starting from Lemmy, Mastodon, etc. One step at a time.

DUPLICATED, CLOSED, etc.

Joke aside, for an open question I’d prefer posting on Reddit/Lemmy/forums to have an open answer.

SO is too strict on its policy.

Emacs will be there for you, once vscode Windows gets abandoned.

FTFY.

Just the matter of taste. For some users who want to get to code quickly, they use VSCode without the hassle. For some power users who want to have extreme extensibility, they use Emacs/Vim.

I hate Google but they gave us Go, Kubernetes. I hate Amazon but they gave us AWS. I plainly hate those companies, but adore the brilliant engineers that work there.

Nowaday I have ChatGPT spew me command. I usually do a quick validation before running. Nevertheless, most of simple operations are correct so I don’t need to.

I then note the command to my persional gist cheatsheet. Next time, since the command is “cached”, I’ll be able to be productive quicker.

So much better than googling.

Looking at your picture makes my neck hurt.

This. I’m tired of all short responses that don’t want to discuss the problem or steer the topics to a direction.

From my personal experience, AWS is extremely powerful (especially on security and networking). If you cross the learning curve, and know automation or Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform) then it’s fast and easy to build almost any architecture.

But yes, it’s overkill for a simple website or a simple setup (if one is not familiar with AWS).

Markdown is good. I use it when working in the company since the format is ubiquitous. I do writing my blog posts with Markdown (Hugo for the curious).

But personally, or working with a bit more niche team, for writing personal documentation I prefer Asciidoc [0]. It has better syntax and have some nice functionalities like Table of Contents.

For personal notes, nothing can surpass Org Mode [1].

The ability to rollback is indeed awesome. And it’s built-in. I think you can do it in Arch-based distros but requires additional config.

Wait until you meet “Platform Engineering”/DevOps. The sheer amount of CNCF projects and new tools out on a daily basis are on par with the JavaScript world.

Arch, with a lightweight desktop environment. If you have time and dedication, obviously.

insert Thanos stone meme.

We self host an instance to share knowledge about self-hosting that instance.

I read in “The Cathedral and The Bazaar” that Linux was not that revolutionary (it reused code and ideas from Mimix) but the collaboration of the entire talent pool from the Internet to develop the kernel is. Massively respect for Linus.

I’m curious, what are you considering moving into?
