most shells have a CDPATH which works just like PATH but for directories. set it to $HOME/projects/:$HOME/porn/ or whatever, and you'll get the subdirectories in your cd tab completion, without installing extra stuff
I really like this hub: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D5VTBG8F
It's the only one I've found that correctly passes display port alt mode through, so I can stick to all usb-c cables.
The & is an indicator to most shells to run this command in "the background". Try and run ( sleep 10; echo hi ) & - you'll see you get your shell prompt back, where you can run more commands, but 10 second later you'll see that 'hi' come through. 'blocking' is the default behavior, if you don't add the & you're still going get the hi in ten seconds, but you don't get a prompt because your shell's execution is blocked until your command is done.
The doc here is indicating that you havea choice between autostart_blocking.sh and autostart.sh, the latter of which would be run with a &. They could have expressed this better.
As for why your script didn't work, I'd try executing it in a terminal to see what error message comes up.
As you switch, I would highly recommend you purchase a domain for yourself, and redirect email from it to your new provider. This separates your "identity" from your email host, so you can switch the latter without having to go through this process again.
both mobile and desktop have the plaintext notes in a sqlite db. they're "easy enough" to export if you're bailing on the app, but not to regularly switch between two different apps
Comparing idioms is fun. "Great minds think alike" has an equivalent which is literally translated as "Idiots have similar thoughts". Kinda reflective of the cultures too: self congratulating vs self deprecating.
Most REPLs can be closed with Ctrl+D which is the EOF character.
the macos file browser, Finder, lets you set a background for a folder, move file icons around to arbitrary positions, other shenanigans. in order for this to work across systems on removable storage media and network mounts, they have this.
it's mostly fixed now, after convincing fxtec to send me a new USB board, but in the time it took to do that, I've moved on to a flippy razr phone. for now, single handed use beats having the keyboard for me
what are the demands?
