My wife thinks it’s because so many people watch tv while scrolling their phones or tablets. Either way it's a modern film convention that I do not like.

Thank you! That worked perfectly. I had to do some digging through the man page to find that -o flag!
TV
-
I’ve slowly been working my way through Invasion (Apple TV+). I’m really enjoying the show the aliens are interesting, and the characters (for the most part) are well written and acted.
-
My wife and I together have been enjoying Death and Other Details. We love a whodunnit, so we’re in for that alone, but I’m also enjoying some of the storytelling motifs they’re using, and the set is really beautiful.
MOVIES
-
Self Reliance. Decent movie, but I thought it was going to be more humor forward than it was. Best part of the movie was the ninjas
-
Role Play. Like Self Reliance, was expecting a more humor forward story. It was a fine movie overall, but also kind of disappointing.
One thing I will say about TV and movies in general though, is that I HATE how we see a scene where something significant happens, and then less than five minutes later they show a flashback of that scene. FFS, I’m watching the show/movie, and I remember this thing that happened mere minutes ago. I’m not that stupid that you need to replay it again.
I didn’t k ow there were dms leak issues. I will investigate. If I’m finding that I’ll likely switch back to openvpn
I’ve heard of oh-my-zsh, but I haven’t wanted to deviate off of bash until I have a good grasp on bash first.
I will look into that. Thank you!
I’m glad they’re useful for you!
Ohhh. Thank you. I will give that a read through!
That’s what I’m finding. I’m not certain I need regex for what I want to accomplish with find. I’m reorganizing my media libraries, and I have a mix of mp4 and mkv files. I want to be able to find all mkv and mp4 files and move them using regex like '.+\.(mp4|mkv)'
I have learned how to use find with -exec and -delete, but I haven’t gotten to -print0 or xargs yet.
I’ve never used git to publish/make myself a repo before. That’s something I’ve been meaning to learn but haven’t quite gotten there yet. However, with the amount of tinkering, and breaking I’ve been doing, I think I’ll move it up on my priority list.
I’ve also got shell scripts I’ve been writing and tinkering with and having proper version control (versus script, script.copy, script.copy.bak…) would also be nice.
That’s a super useful way to remember. Thank you!
Ubuntu LTS, with all my services in Docker containers.
I know Ubuntu gets a lot of (deserved) hate for some of the shit Canonical pulls, but for now, I like Ubuntu and it works for me.
When I rebuilt my server at the beginning of the month, I was gonna jump to Debian, but my god the Debian website is obtuse. After looking at the site and trying to determine what to download to get Debian with non-free (I’m unfortunately working with an NVIDIA card), I decided to go with Ubuntu. I needed a smooth rebuild process and with Ubuntu I know exactly what I’ll get when I download the LTS server.
Edit: grammar
