Yeah some kind of fucky configuration.

The root is:

http://archive.ubuntu.com

Which, if the ubuntu link is clicked, then drops you into the the real archive root… but the link is “appended” to the new path, but the same link is reproduced in the “new” folder. Click it again, and another segment added to your current path even though you’re in the same root archive, ad nauseam.

I couldn’t find this misconfiguration on stackoverflow, which leads me to believe someone at ubuntu is doing something especially special here.

I    don’t    use    an    ide,    but    I    wrote    a    script    that    replaces    any    space    I    type    with    four.

I    haven’t    worked    out    all    the    use    cases    yet,    though.

Man I’m still salty about the real ending, I think the 5 min ending might be preferable (not really, again, just salty).

Jesus us my…

Plot twist, they were also the one responsible for developing the backup process.

Who knew The Cosmic AC would be running js.

Emacs really is powerful, all it needs now is a decent text editor.

The more the merrier. I edited my comment above to show my git alias for comments :)

That’s why I’ve got my IDE configured to make a commit and push for every single ctrl-s.

And one more thing, I’m not going to squash before my final PR.

EDIT:

For those of you interested, here’s my gitconfig alias to help with this workflow:

[alias]
    ctrl-s-commit-push="!f() { count=$(cat count.txt); git add .; git commit -m \"$(date): commit $count\"; git push;}; f"

IMPORTANT: For those who are downvoting, yes, my entire comment is sarcasm, lol! Do not ever do anything like this in a shared repo, ever! If you actually do this in a shared repo, your access will likely be revoked the moment someone sane and competent realizes what you’re doing.

Addendum: In that alias, I would’ve used left angle bracket instead of cat, but apparently lemmy scrubs those. I even tried the entity for it, but no go for either.

I’ve spent more time wondering if I farted and forgot or if it was the guy in the cube next door.
