  • Reverse chronological order, mostly

    tac log.txt |head # would give you newest first

    no good for sort because sort already supports -r

    no need it for tail on large files because tail already skips to the end.

    I do a lot of impromptu bash to sus crap out of logs.

    when you’re balls deep in

    cat log|grep -v foo| rev|cut -f 1-3 -d \ | |rev

    Sometimes tac comes in clutch.





  • Same, been there for a decade.

    I’m careful about what I want to host because I know I’m the asshole that needs to fix it when it breaks, and password managers that my wife uses are 100% off the self-hosted menu.

    Vaultwarden requires Bitwarden to keep on allowing client access. Even if there are FOSS plugins/clients, I still need ot host it between my house and a cloud and it needs to be highly available.

    I’ll keep paying for that one.


  • 25 was good, insurance costs often go down, you’re more likely to now be seen as a responsible adult by default. Your body is probably not rapidly deteriorating.

    The best I have for you all at that age is, you’re probably not feeling a effects of age yet, you can probably still party and most of your friends aren’t married with children so you probably still have people to party with.

    30’s you recover more slowly, your friends start getting sparse as they start their own families.

    40’s you have to work to not fall to sloth, energy isn’t a given, you have to schedule to get time with your friends

    50’s you need to start being careful about how you do things. your friends have grown children, if you don’t do body maintenance you will fall into disrepair and it’s hard AF to get out of that. Many people find stuff they used to enjoy eating now causes them discomfort. Your knees, back, ankles might pop when you get out of bed or occasionally when you go up steps





  • VPN usage amongst the unwashed masses is extremely low.

    The number of VPNs that allow port forwarding to properly support high-speed torrenting are in the single digits.

    The number of actual trustworthy VPNs are almost non-existent.

    The performance of tor over VPN is so bad that even though I could see the benefit, I would not do it.

    I torrent over VPN. But that’s it. The rest of my communication is TLS at best.





  • 100% carbon neutral and will never be aff

    • edit: needed a space

    deep enough, below the water table. (if it even exists where you pick a location) no big deal. There’s worse things down there already than moderately low level radioactive metals. It’s not like we aren’t fracking underneath peoples homes now. releasing dangerous gasses, causing earthquakes, yada yada. That’s the other good part about the deep desert: it’s already inhospitable enough that people don’t gather there uniformly in great numbers. If you buy up some land and cordon it off, it’s not really screwing with people. What if you put it deep in the Sahara?

    When drilling is suddenly OK, then forego the nuclear reactor and go straight to geothermal.

    Geo is a great idea, sadly they have trouble getting it to scale, and locating hot enough pockets proves elusive. If you’re in volcanic areas, medium-sized geothermal is amazing. IIRC Iceland uses it to great effect but it doesn’t work just anywhere. We can’t drill so deep that it gets hot enough to make a difference; you need to find a spot where the crust is already thin.

    Now that’s not to be confused with geothermal at the house level for heatpumps, that is straight up awesome but works on a very different concept and can’t really scale at all… well it would be nice if all these fucking datacenters would use that instead of evaporative loops. but that’s a different story.

    • edit 2 looking at the carbon footprint of concrete, you’d spend more carbon drilling the hole and getting the waste to the hole than the plug you used to fill it. and you’d be able to store decades of terawatts of energy refuse in that hole
