is me, just like on lemmy.wtf, but here on lemmy.today, hoping for more uptime with the no instance censoring.

  • I had a fellow linux user friend of over a decade convince me to try go no swap for a change.

    I pebkac’d the system before it got a chance to fall foul of having zero swap.

    … My next computer even before that pebkac, has swung the other way… >3X RAM amount of swap (And that’s on twice the RAM too. Mmm. Roomy.). Not going back to no swap. I prefer the headroom.

    With fast drives snug on the mainboard, it doesn’t hurt dipping into swap.

    mcedit came before your “MCEdit”.

    same as bedrock linux came before bedrock version of minecraft for linux.

    minecraft ((at least) twice) further confounded searches for the already obscure foss tools.

    mc = midnight commander.

    mcedit = midnight commander’s inbuilt text editor.

    I think you have the skill to take this further, and make it interactive, clickable, explorable, even wiki’fied (or at least git’ified) to allow others to contribute too.

    I noticed some were missing.

    • BedrockLinux
    • CRUX
    • SLAX
    • Tin Hat
    • Hannah Montana
    • KISS
    • Carbs
    • Exherbo
    • … Okay, I’ll not exhaust this list with dozens more. ;)

    Well done for including as many as did already. Was joyous seeing Slitaz made the lislt. :) A fave of the small distros.

    Which text editor do you use?

    • Emacs mostly
    • sometimes fin for configs and some other small file tweaks and when developing/testing fin,
    • sometimes mcedit just because it’s an awesome under sung hero of easy tui text editors. … beats nano imo.
    • sometimes leafpad, like when i need some intermediary between things that are being stubborn to paste between
    • rare neovim, like when i’m trying to learn neovim, or trying something that only neovim has
    • rare nano… there are probably still times…
    • once kate to see what it was like, I liked it, then I added the features I liked to emacs.
