Slack got me through college on an ancient (even at the time) ThinkPad 600e. Good times!

I had a suite of scripts to log in to the university Linux cluster, download the kernel source and out-of-tree modules (required for the PCMCIA WiFi adapter), compile it, and rsync it back to my laptop.

A dishwasher is a total quality of life thing for us.

It sucks that some places don't offer them. They're not even very expensive, it's just the kitchen real estate/installation that sucks.

A place I loved in after college had a full size unit on wheels that you hooked up to sink to use---worked fine, just took up space. They also make countertop units, but I have no idea how well those work.

You might say, "well akshually it should be sudo apt upgrade, because you shouldn't generally use the the root account," but some of us just have apt aliased to sudo apt.

Maybe not a service in the typical sense, but setting up your router+server to route your home network traffic through a VPN is a fun project.

My router (MikroTik) supports WireGuard, so I can use it with Mullvad for the whole house---but wg is demanding and it's a slow router, so while it can NAT at ~1Gbps, it can't do WireGuard at more than ~90Mbps. So, I set up WireGuard/Mullvad on a little SBC with a fast processor, and have my router use that instead. Using policy based routing and/or mangling, I can have different VLANs/subnets/individual hosts selectively routed through the VPN.

It's a fun exercise, not sure I implemented it in a smart way, but it works :)

It doesn't change your point, but he was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, not for a sex act.

I feel like this person has never had a good salad...

I probably would have ordered my matrix so that my/my and (not my)/(not my) were the diagonal elements, but that's just nitpicking I suppose.

Not the parent you're responding to, but I think it's that my "mediocre" comment was a reference to the movie, and yours was a literal response to my joke. A bit of a whoosh situation.

So you're saying it was...mediocre?

grep -rIi "John.*Cena" dir/

I have this sort of thing aliased, with some added --include flags to filter file type (e.g., only match source/script files). Super useful!
