  • A New Old Idea; Permacomputing

    Just go into terminal. I've settled with zsh after forever with bash, but nothing really changed.

    It works in all systems, mac, linux, even Windows (with WSL). The same script that I configure it can be used anywhere so I put it on git and just pull that whenever I need to configure a new system for temp/permanent use: https://github.com/Aperocky/unix-setup

  • Coming Home to Vim

    Setting up vim (and other shell setups) have been the easiest things ever and this does it for me:

    https://github.com/Aperocky/unix-setup

    I had to do it several times over the years, even have a shell file that would install all the plugins straight from git. The process take no more than 5 minutes and I'm right at home in the terminal of the new machine.

  • Editing remote code locally: Best practices?

    vim with massive amount of plugin is my go to.

    My vim setup looks like atom in terms of interface: https://github.com/Aperocky/unix-setup/blob/master/.vimrc

    Very easy to setup, just add the .vimrc file and run the git clone commands after setting up pathogen (package interface). This setup is pretty nice to edit ts/js/py/rb and C family of languages.

    This doesn't really work for any of the JVM languages however, those you probably want an IDE.. I tried my best in vim and it just don't work.

    Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow:

    - gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1]

    - duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2]

    - massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3]

    - gotop: a `top` clone [4]

    - micro: a nice TUI editor [5]

    Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.

  • Text Editor: Data Structures
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Dec 2023
    > The worst way to store and manipulate text is to use an array.

    Claim made from theoretical considerations, without any actual reference to real-world editors. The popular Micro[1] text editor uses a simple line array[2], and performs fantastically well on real-world editing tasks.

    Meanwhile, ropes are so complicated that even high-quality implementations have extremely subtle bugs[3] that can lead to state or content corruption.

    Which data structure is "best" is not just a function of its asymptotic performance. Practical considerations are equally important (arguably more so).

  • A simple guide for configuring sudo and doas
    3 projects | dev.to | 24 Dec 2023
    There are two main ways to configure sudo.The first one is using the sudoers file.It is located at /etc/sudoers for Linux,and /usr/local/etc/sudoers for FreeBSD respectively.The paths are different,but the configuration works in the same way. A typical sudoers file looks like this. The sudoers file must be edited with the visudo command,which ensures the config is free of errors.Running this command as the root user will result in opening vi by default.If you want to use a different editor you can set the VISUAL environment varaible to the editor you want. For example,if you want to use micro as the text editor run:
