The comment is stating that you treated it as a gotcha moment. Which I agree with.. I mean, just read your post again.

This is living proof that NOT ALL MEN COMMIT THESE ACTS!

Women are perfectly capable of doing the same damn things, they're just more sly about it and how often are guys going to complain when they get their dick wet or touched by a girl?

What the other commenter described is exactly what you did. Stating otherwise means you may need to pause and ask yourself, "Am I deluded?"

Or even better, just ignore us all and reassure yourself that we're all crazy. That probably feels the best, and we should always just go with what makes us feel good.

Anyway, just come back and check the vote tallies later if you have any doubt that what I say is the prevailing opinion.

And of course, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Sometimes I am wrong. Are you?

Break your system down with a block diagram. Define the minimum functions and properties for each block. Then create an inventory from that.

In short, break down your problem into smaller bits. No one knows your requirements and vision better than you. You can do it.

I use a laptop connected to some external drives managed by a Sabrent 5-Bay Hard Drive Docking Station. The laptop runs Ubuntu Server and hosts media via Jellyfin on raid5 logical volumes shared between disks (to increase read speed).

I learn by writing documentation. Learn how you learn, that information will be priceless in value to you.

First time hearing of a"demake", neat.

I agree with your sentiment regarding confusing syntax, however I think that confusion simply requires a calculated approach to dispell it.

It's a prime example of why I use scripts as reminders as much as I use them functionally. I work out the syntax once.. save it to an example script, then save myself 20 minutes of remembering by just $ cat ./path/to/script.sh and copying said syntax.

So if you can change your workflow such that learned things stay around as examples, I feel that you will pick it up much more quickly :)

awk

..for parsing the output of other commands quickly and simply. Then that parsed output can be used to create simple log messages or be passed as args to other scripts. Powerful.

Hello, someone used an entangle spell on my eagle artillery and it feels like this debris stays around for ages. Don't get me wrong, it's kind of neat and doesn't bother me at all, just curious.

How long until this bright green grass and thorns clear away? Tbh this makes me want to use the entangle spell more, knowing that the victim has to see thorns in their base for some duration afterwards, haha!

 

So I was thinking of silly things I've done that pseudo-broke my system, or made me think I had a broken system. Like the time I put the cmd :

exit

in my ~/.bash_aliases file and I had to open a text editor to fix it because that broke all the terminals on my machine.

I'm curious what other silly things users have done to confuse themselves.

 

I found this Python script a few years ago, it is simple enough that a non-programmer could understand 90% of it. I just remembered it had been running as a scheduled task all this time when I thought I had lost some saves.

Thought I'd post it here in case anyone can use it. Minor things are hard coded but they are few and easy to edit.
