If look you look closely, it's a little Forth-like interpreter under the covers...

DE:MD was great, I really hoped for them to finish the story. With all the horse-trading of the companies and IP, who knows if we'll ever see one.

I had no idea. I'm still on 7.0.x, I didn't even realize they were sold. It only has permissions for media and files.

My OnePlus 6t swelled and split in a year. OnePlus said it was unrepairable (it still worked) and offered me $50 toward an upgrade.
Replaced it with a Pixel.

Cave Mountain Music Festival at Windham Mountain canceled
No festival at Windham this fall due to new ownership and on-going construction.

I don't back up anything I can rebuild. I have multiple half-assed methods in use together for the rest of it:
- Backups daily of homedirs on desktops and laptops using Borg and Vorta to external usb drives. These devices get rotated out annually. I used to run 2-disk RAID1 and when I rotated the disks out, split them and sent them to family but now I'm taking my chances on having them local and putting them in a fireproof box.
- Code repos are synced to github or srht.
- Monthly backups of homedirs are sent via borg to rsync.net.
- Desktop and laptop homedirs get periodic (roughly monthly) burns to Dual-Layer BDRs which I put in the fireproof box and sometimes hand off to family.

I've been in the weird space of on-prem "cloud" infrastructure (mostly kubernetes) for the last seven years but I've been doing infra, middleware, and devops for more than twenty years and have my own way of working that's nearly GUI-free.
Tools I use every single day:
- tmux
- The one true editor and org-mode.
- The other one true editor.
- Bash, sed, awk, and the indispensable Shellcheck.
- Munging data with

- ag (the Silver Searcher) out of habit but ripgrep is awesome too.
Less often but very useful:
- socat a swiss army knife for sockets.
- ansible
- terraform
Languages, because I write my own tools:
