If I had the power to duplicate, I'd abuse myself. 😉 😜 😘 🥵🥴

Ooh, that's a good one.  Like if this was a dog show, that answer would get top prize.

Re: Post your favorite programming/computer/IT tips

programming
  • at least try disabling syntax highlighting. I use a very minimal theme: comments and strings are red, all other text is white. This enables me to read code naturally, like a book vs skimming
  • I like helix for a text editor because it's like vim but good out of the box due to integrated LSP so "spending hours configuring <editor>" isn't a thing
  • once steel scheme plugin support gets merged into helix some day I think we're gonna get something like org-mode and it will be amazing
  • If you do a lot of parsing pls learn to write grammars instead of spaghetti code parsing for reasons (https://langsec.org/)
  • learn readline shortcuts for bash/shell navigation https://www.bigsmoke.us/readline/shortcuts
  • download Zeal and offline docsets because the modern web is slow and irritating

*nix
  • EFI stubs can replace the bootloader
  • most commonly shipped initramfs tools cook up some mid af initramfs, https://github.com/anatol/booster makes way smaller/faster ones (can improve boot time)
  • systemd-analyze can help you improve boot times
  • try a weird distro or BSD to learn about "standard" components via negativa: musl void linux = no systemd, no gnu libc, no apt (i dislike apt very much)
  • if you care about FOSS networking: pfsense for router, openwrt for APs (because FreeBSD/pfsense network stack outperforms linux, openwrt because one place FreeBSD doesn't outperform linux is wifi drivers)
  • also if you care about FOSS networking, Protectli sells corebooted devices
  • watch this talk on how Netflix uses FreeBSD, it has so much good info on drivers, ISP <-> netflix relations/infra, kernel optimization for I/O https://youtu.be/36qZYL5RlgY. Amazing example of things being done different than you might expect because the theoretical "best practices" didn't turn out to be so great (e.g. not using ZFS on their ISP cache devices, just letting drives die)

physical stuff
  • if your house is wired for coax, you can use MoCA adapters which often outperform wifi (and DEFINITELY powerline)
  • use red lights at night for sleep / night vision preservation reasons
  • self-dimming red night lights are pretty cheap and nice for non-bedroom house areas

minimalism
  • hammock-driven development is real and I don't believe people can think/reason to their full potential well in front of a phone/computer/screen. write on paper.
  • go completely offline sometimes, preferably often. I have firewall rules that disable internet after 6:30pm 10/10 highly recommend. Might add an exception so I can still use my OS's package manager
  • use grayscale mode on your phone and you might find yourself reading books more
  • compulsive phone use is literally a stim https://youtu.be/KKjMn_elwlY

I don't know, but you should probably ban me for posting something that is not in line with the thread.

Shitpost Central is for being an asshat  This is more "General Discussion" territory.  See if rachel will move it for you.

sorreyyy

There's nothing to be sorry about.  I'm not criticizing you, just the opposite.  I'm saying that this post is worthy of serious discussion and commentary.  It deserves better than the sluts and scallywags of Shitpost Central (which, admittedly are you and me, but at least mousemath will have better diggs in "General Discussion".)
