Why am I downloading and installed ed(1) today?

A: mariadb-dump is generating SQL it cannot run. Also. The files are huge and just need one or two tweaks. vim hangs horribly opening the file because of its size. ed(1) just takes a nice pause when saving it, but is otherwise responsive and _fast_.

I love ed.

(Also. There are a lot of "modern" linux distros that don't install it by default. *glares in BSD user*)

@ed1conf

Reminder: whenever you see examples of 'cursed' C or C++, run it built on GCC/Clang with

-Werror -Wall -Wextra -fsanitize=undefined,address

and see how far it gets. These flags should be enabled by default in IDEs, build systems and for testing and development.

A gentle soul on Twitter ages ago got me to change from making new years resolutions to making a bingo card of different things I wanted to try and do in the new year.

This massively improved my life. Instead of a big-stakes failbomb, I have a mix of big to small goals that let me incrementally work towards larger goals.

It's also great to see your progress throughout the year!

Also I give myself a little treat whenever I complete a new bingo, which rules.

I have been very happy at Mastodon, even though my follower count basically don’t change. I am happy to read 20 or so posts that I can afford to. I am happy to not have to see random stuff. I am happy to not have social media eat a big chunk of my day. I can focus on living in the real world.

I am not going anywhere else.
