yeah I’d fuck that thing too

My university dual booted Windows 10 and Ubuntu (science department computer labs only)

All the other departments just had Windows 10, except for Engineering, which used Windows 7 for some fucking reason. I hope I’m remembering wrong.

I had to check the Canada time zones to see if you meant 2023 or 2024

Didn’t help, because I can’t figure out if you were still in the habit of “this year is 2023” or you had a wild new years eve party

Also, I assumed Canada because .ca instance

Anyway, congrats!

a forum to commiserate and share advice and coping mechanisms and so on.

Speaking for myself here, but I feel like this can make the problem worse. /r/depression is something in a similar vein. Whenever I went there, I’d always leave sadder. There’s something about reading other people’s struggles that just seemed to reinforce my own sense of hopelessness.

Also, bad advice on those kinds of forums can look extremely reasonable if your perception of the world is clouded by your problems.

I know it doesn’t work for everyone, but give therapy a shot if you haven’t already.

Like others have said, having a friend that you see regularly can help with loneliness. Doesn’t even have to be strangers. Try messaging an old friend you drifted apart from. Odds are they’d be happy to catch up.

Sorry for the unsolicited advice. I know this isn’t the type of response you asked for. I hope everything works out for you, bud.

“Screensavers”
Aesthetically pleasing to have open on a second monitor.

• cmatrix: That character scrolling effect from the matrix
• cbonsai: Little ASCII art bonsai tree that can be animated with the -l flag
• cacademo A bunch of ASCII animations. Apparently installed by default in many distros? Had no idea

- spotify-tui Spotify CLI frontend

ASCII fun
Fun to make your shell scripts and .zshrc/.bashrc files obnoxiously zany.

• toilet/figlet ASCII text art.
• jp2a Turn image files into ASCII art
• cowsay generates ASCII art pictures of a cow with a message

- neofetch Spits out a cool system info summary with the distro logo in ASCII art

File inspection
Useful if you want to quickly look at a source file without opening a text editor

• src-hilite-lesspipe.sh Syntax highlight files. I think its pre-installed on GNU systems
• ccat Colourful cat. Also syntax highlighter

- glow Markdown file renderer

Prompt help
Very useful if you learned to type the wrong way.

• zsh-completions Additional zsh autocompletions
• zsh-syntax-highlighting colourizes your Zsh prompt commands. Green=good, red=you misspelled “python” again, moron

- thefuck corrects your previous prompt that you fucked up

Obvious ones, often preinstalled:

• curl/wget: grab files from the internet
• nmap: lets you audit your network. See if you have anyone leeching off your wifi.
• ssh: Remotely access your machines. Can be dangerous if you don’t read the manual.
• git: Version control, mainly for source code, but also very useful to locally keep track of any kinds of file changes you make.
• gnupg: needed to set up keys for ssh and git i think. cant remember

Meanwhile, I’ve seen dozens of videos on Instagram of cartel guys floating literal boatloads full of coke and god knows what else across the gulf of mexico.

Watching the US government handle drug enforcement is like watching a toddler eat piss with a fork. Whatever they’re hoping to achieve isn’t going to help anyone and they’re not even trying to do it effectively.

I mean, the loosest rodent anus is probably comparable to a moderately tight human anus at most.

god fuck why did I post that

at least some of these:

I’m no expert on ergot, but I’d place a small wager on it being involved with the dancing plague and the meowing nuns

Otherwise probably just boredom. There was jackshit fuckall to do back then. Not like now, where you have to spend 3 hours a day in traffic and 9 hours a day fixing your completely fucked npm installation

I’ll happily take a state appointed surveillance gf

“He’s got a bunch of ebooks for improvised munitions and amphetamine synthesis, but he’s way too fucking stupid and lazy to do anything with it. Please dear god can you take me off this assignment”
