I don't know about you all, but ever since I learned #SteveJobs once told his people to get rid of the F(unction) keys on Apple keyboards "because only nerds know what they do", I've been like, "Challenge ACCEPTED" and slowly been learning how to use them. So handy! 🙂

The ones I have memorized and use often:
F2 - rename that dang file
F11 - full screen on ye olde browser
F12 - activate full nerd mode (developer console in the browser)

What y'all got for favorite keyboard shortcuts? #NerdLife

#NerdLife Wollte für meine Studies ein Handout erstellen, mit LaTex, erstmal neues Template gelernt (Tufte!), denn gemerkt, die Links sind zu lang, also einen eigenen Link-Shortener gebaut, eigene Zertifikatsverwaltung kaputt gemacht, alles wieder gerichtet. Hab um 9 angefangen. Jetzt schreib ich endlich das Handout. 😁

I want to start a TTRPG but I haven't played one in years & I have never been a DM.

So I guess I'm just gonna obsessively look over all this Pathfinder crap I downloaded, maybe draw up a couple characters, then do absolutely nothing with it all.

#NerdLife I guess?

Habe jetzt also nach einem Impulskauf nach diesem Toot einen angeblich gar nicht mal so schlechten Geigerzähler für 44,16€ hier liegen 😂. Mit Open Source Firmware drauf.
Ich habe absolut gar keine sinnvolle Verwendung dafür, aber Spaß gehabt es zu flashen. Andere richten sich 'ne Holzwerkstatt ein oder fahren Elektrische Eisenbahn, ich steh auf Messgeräte.
Zumindest weiß ich jetzt dass ich das einzig Verstrahlte in dieser Wohnung bin.

chaos.socialgigabecquerel (@gigabecquerel@chaos.social)Attached: 3 images New toy! I got myself a cheap chinese geiger counter, the Bosean FS-5000. Thanks to the custom RadPro firmware it becomes a damn good EDC counter! The Firmware fixes a lot of issues I've had with cheaper counters, and from what I've heard the next revision will fix ~all nitpicks I have left 😁 A major thing for me is the battery run time, over a week of running constantly. I'm very happy with it! https://github.com/Gissio/radpro/

Mittlerweile hätte ich einiges für eine nerdige Battlevest zusammen, wobei ich mir bei den 3 ganz links noch nicht ganz sicher bin. Warte aber noch auf ein oder zwei mit LARP Bezug bevor ich dann tatsächlich ne Weste kaufe.

#tmux afficianados: What are the big reasons you keep using tmux locally?

I know the benefits of using it for remote work, and fully intend to keep using it there, but I'm questioning whether it's worth the ongoing extra faff to run locally.

I only really ever use it to get random access to tabs/panes, and otherwise it seems to be costing me in ways that are making me question its value.

Examples:

  • Every time I choose a new terminal I need to faff with the truecolor settings so my apps like Neovim will work properly.
  • Having tmux auto-run on login means I miss anything printed by my shell at startup
  • I need to ensure all my apps are using the tmux copy/paste protocol.
  • After a bit less than a year using it I STILL haven't managed to get used to the history/search/selection mechanism. This isn't tmux's fault but still.
