I’m using Linux since 1998 and still like nano. I can use vi, but prefer nano when it’s available.

Wonder why no one has mentioned lilypond so far.

Ohh, I love pandoc!!

OMG, are you me? I’m also a heavy stack* and ask* user, that’s so funny!

I’m not sure if it really uses single file, I’m a relatively new user and while linking around the system, saw that it saves its stuff in a single … what was it… gz or zip or tug. But not sure if it just scrapes everything and puts it into an archive file.

If you use the browser extension, it saves the page as rendered (at least it should). If not, open a bug report, the maintainer seems quite helpful.

You can also somehow script extractors I believe, so it should be possible to correct saving ask* and stack* pages.

Hey, my nick! I’m not 100% sure but readeck saves into a single file.

I always wanted to contact my French teacher and tell him I’m now married to a French woman, and how I found the love of my life because of the language he taught me… Well, I waited too long.

I used a Filofax before 16. Not that I needed it, but I liked it and felt very organised. Not sure if my mom is to blame, she was a financial accountant, so always did things very carefully and accurately.

Let’s not start about uni, where getting laid and smoking funny things was more important than being organised, but when I started working, I tried a lot of techniques.

I read something somewhere which I find quite fitting:

• If you only have few tasks, anything might do. Keep them in mind, scribble them on a piece of paper. No need to prioritise them, because priority is instantly clear when looking at the few tasks.
• if you’ve got more than just a few tasks then you need to write them on a to do list. With more and more tasks, you need to put them into some kind of order. Ordering the tasks by priority is most often a good idea.
• If you have a lot of tasks and you juggle a lot of projects then you need something even bigger,which may be a system like GTD. This way, you can prioritise projects, individual tasks and also tasks not belonging to any project.

This helps me to avoid procrastination.

I still use the techniques above, depending on my current workload.

That, together with: I’m online, watch out for the ca… “No carrier”

German here, I remember teaching people email etiquette and reminding them: “No TOFU” (Text Oben, Full quote Unten).

Means sth like “text above, full quote below”

No, this exists in other countries just as well. Here in Germany it’s called „Hausverwaltung“.

I’m really proud of my job as a manager. Dropped out of uni because I only learned what seemed interesting to me (mostly tech stuff from CS) and now I’m leading a team of devs. Cherry on top is that they like me, too. OTOH I’m proud of my wife and children and lots of other things, like having mastered 2 foreign languages, playing piano, recorder and guitar.

Most proud that we bought a house though.

Help a non American, is 5.0 good or bad? What’s the range you can get?

You’re looking for a block level incremental backup solution. This can either be achieved using filesystem based snapshots (ZFS, BRRFS) or using dedicated programs. I know rdiff-backup , restic and duplicity use block-level diffs, not sure about rsnapshot.

I’m German. Foreign accents (I.e. some foreigner speaking German) are either funny or cute to me. If I feel neither, that’s probably because I need to concentrate to understand. In German accents, a Bavarian accent, a Saxon or a Frisian one turn me off.

In (to me) foreign languages, I don’t care, meaning that I’m just as fine with „Oi com frum Birmingham“ as with a posh Oxford accent. Also the southern French accent is fine with me, as well as the northwestern one. I’m also fine with Breton, but that’s a language, not an accent. And I don’t understand the latter very well anyway, let alone speak fluently.

Exercise more. Does not apply to all of the 20s, but to quite some.

Certain accents. She can be gorgeous and all, but some accents are an immediate turnoff for me…

Never seen something like this and I wonder if it wouldn’t trigger epilepsy in some people…
