Terrible, but worse now that I had to read the word "twenty-oneth"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Haha! I read it as twenty-firth

Ah, indeed. I guess I'll just put pure numbers from now on

Nice to see the bot working!

I'm doing well, starting the week slowly

I just did this:
rm TEST/ * instead of
rm TEST/*

and spent a long minute staring at my terminal, having just nuked the contents of my working directory.
I'm sure there's lots of benefits to open-sourcing your stuff, but the big one for me right now, was that I was able to get things back again.

Wow, that's an emotional rollercoaster

You don't gotta make it open-source to run git.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seconded.

I use it for everything I can. Config files, private text documents, MUD maps… everything I can put into source control goes into source control.

I don’t know what it is, I just love git.

It's simple collaborative versioning, and way faster than it has any right to be

I get it, I did an accidental rm -rf / something about twenty years ago and I’m still careful.

I caught it pretty quickly, but I had to spend a lot of time panicking and redownloading system files. I was in college at the time so it felt like changing parts on a speeding car.
