  • I used to use Alpine containers but I’ve since standardize on Debian completely. Proxmox is Debian, my VMs run Debian, my LXCs run Debian, my VPSs run Debian, Raspian on my RPi is Debian, Armbian on my Odroid is Debian, etc, etc.

    The benefit of running the same distribution on all my servers no matter where or how they’re hosted can’t be overstated.

    Less mental overhead remembering different commands or config paths, same software on everything, etc. It’s been fantastic and Debian has always been rock solid for me.

    I’m honestly amazed that the no emoji culture on Reddit persisted even after it became super mainstream. But agreed, I actually like emoji for adding emotion/intent indicators to text. I use them all the time in personal conversations and work Slack, but never ever on Reddit for whatever reason haha.


  • That’s the problem, a lot of CS professors never worked in the industry or did anything outside academia so they never learned those lessons…or the last time they did work was back in the 90s lol.

    Doesn’t help that most universities don’t seem to offer “software engineering” degrees and so everyone takes “computer science” even if they don’t want to be a computer scientist.



  • I was an Ubuntu user for many years, mostly out of inertia. I used it on all my servers and used Ubuntu or Mint for desktop usage. Once they started pushing Snap hard, I finally switched to Debian on all my servers and it’s been great. For my PC at home where I dual boot Windows 11 and Linux, I switched from Mint to Manjaro as I didn’t want to use anything based on Ubuntu anymore and I wanted something with all the latest packages (and hardcore reliability/stability is less of a concern) so Debian was out, but Arch seemed like a pain to get set up. I have a feeling I’ll end up moving from Manjaro to Arch eventually just like I did from Ubuntu to Debian, but for now it’s working for my needs.


  • Awesome, that seems like a great idea. Since as I understand it, the app is essentially just running terminal commands, I think showing the currently running command would be a huge UX improvement. It would help both with knowing what’s going on and with debugging any issues with the commands.

    Right now I’m traveling and my home VPN connection isn’t working for some reason, so I don’t have access to most of the VMs I usually use daily, but as soon as I get access again I’ll get them all added and really give this a proper test drive. I’ll report any issues I run across or UX suggestions I can think of. It’s great to see how well you take feedback!

    Also funny enough, just due to talking about iTerm2, I went and downloaded it and found out about the split panes feature and I think I may now be a convert haha.
