I know I probably shouldn't, but I switched from tmux to screen, and so far, it hasn't missed a beat. Makes me wonder: do I really need 80K lines of tmux over 30K of screen? Those extra 50K lines… for what? Sure, tmux has nicer multi-user support, but I don't need that. Plus, screen supports serial consoles, which I actually use.

If I make it out alive, I'll be more focused, dedicated to one or two things, or people, which is something I've wanted for a long time. More than anything, I'm enjoying not having a phone. I think I'll keep it this way even after the war.

Even though the whole country is down because of the war and having nothing to do feels boring, I still believe in why this war must happen, to remove a terrorist regime from the world.

On a personal level, it's been a life reset: no Instagram to doomscroll, no phone buzzing with calls or messages, no servers or services to maintain. All that noise is gone.

Man, I missed people on here. Part of me feels a little jealous, but mostly I'm just happy for them, living normal lives, working, growing, even couples showing love to each other in public. All of it so simple, so natural.

They have no idea what it's like to live in the Middle East, to be in a war, to carry that kind of stress every day... and honestly, I'm glad they don't.

If anything, I'm more happy for them than jealous. ❤️

I haven't coded for almost 4 months. It all started right after the regime in Iran began violently killing people, and it really affected my mental health. Then the war started.
I kind of miss my normal life. It's strange how easily everything can fall apart.
At least I met someone along the way who I really like. She's interesting. Let's see where that goes, and where life goes in general.

Hopefully something good comes out of all this. 🤞

I hate Macbook with its crappy Linux drivers. 😇

I really need a break from this life. constant pressure, chaos, and instability. Basically, life in the Middle East. I hate it, but for now I have no choice but to tolerate it. When things calm down, I'm seriously considering immigration, or even a 6-12 month stay in a normal country

Todd C. Miller has been maintaining the #sudo codebase for over 30 years. This is exactly one of those cases where an entire critical infrastructure is held together by the work of a single volunteer who apparently can’t find anyone willing to sponsor him for some financial support. #opensource #linux #foss #GNU

I saw multiple Iranians wanting to have someone to just talk to, someone who just listens to their thoughts and doesn't judge them.
It's interesting, I feel exactly the same too, is this part of being traumatized as a nation?🫣
If you have an iranian friend, check on them these days, I'm sure they need someone to talk to even though they might say they're fine!

If you're reading this, which I'm almost 100 percent sure you won't be, just know that I appreciate it.

Yes, I have family and friends, and they all have their place. But this friend… I'm not sure why. Maybe because we're a bit distant. Maybe because we don't interfere in each other's lives. Or maybe because their empathy was unexpected. Their random messages, just checking on me, are helping me get through this.

I hope I can repay them someday, when they need me.
