@joe: I have for quite a while now! Where have YOU been?

RESOLVED - WORKSFORME. My favorite way to close a bug!
REOPENED - if you click "Insert Quote" while you're already posting a quote, say, if I were trying to quote Sidoh..
<here's where the quote would be if it worked>
.. that's the quote method that's broken. It's valid!

General Discussion / An MMPI exam
« on: August 21, 2013, 11:09:39 pm »
A while back I took an MMPI exam a friend administered. It was pretty awesome. Flash forward a few years and I discover http://hacker.psychologi.st/ -- it'll even do the interpretation of your response (which is the annoying part). If you're concerned with having your personality displayed on the internet, take comfort in the fact that the site doesn't appear too popular and there's nothing to tie any submission to you save for an IP, and if you're that worried just use Tor. You should be using Tor for anything you do anyway, especially if you live in the good ol' US of A!
Take note that there's no point in lying on the exam, it just makes the results inaccurate and what's the point in learning something untrue about yourself?

General Programming / Re: Let's talk IDEs
« on: August 13, 2013, 03:06:00 am »This works well enough, but I feel like there has to be a better way.
This seemed promising but I haven't tried it myself. Yet!
Also of productive note, totally not about IDEs but related to vim so it's noteworthy: vimium has also increased my productivity, I pretty much only have to use the mouse to navigate webmail* or do mouseovers. Or control Pandora. Thankfully it's a radio and takes care of itself most of the time.

« on: August 12, 2013, 10:28:57 pm »Newby, do you have any experience with setting up SSH sessions in tmux? I generally have four servers I want open connections with. Unfortunately, I have to use sudo to switch users, so I need to enter my password. I'm not super pleased with my solution, but it works. Any ideas?
I work with a couple dozen or so servers on the daily. A properly configured config file (in ~/.ssh) is necessary. Not sure what you're getting at with sudo-to-switch-users, you can NOPASSWD sudo for your account or you can put the key in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys account of the account you want to log in as.
Code: [Select]
$ grep -A 4 whatever.you.want.to.ssh.to ~/.ssh/psuedoconfig
Host whatever.you.want.to.ssh.to
HostName full.hostname.here
Port xx
IdentityFile /path/to/private/key
User blah
$ ssh whatever.you.want.to.ssh.to
Bam, you're logged in as blah on full.hostname.here with no password intervention. You can even have entries that are the same but with a different identity/username, if you want. I haven't tried it, but I log in as me and don't mind sudo'ing around as I type 140+ wpm... I generally re-type commands/words if I make a typo, it's just faster. So typing "sudo su username -l" and my password? Not a biggie.
I also took it one step further and aliased these.
Code: [Select]
$ alias fullshell='ssh full.hostname.here 'So I can do things like
Code: [Select]
$ fullshell (instantly logged in)
$ fullshell uname -a (runs uname -a on full.hostname.here, returns it)And other shorthand conventions which are super useful in mass:
Code: [Select]
for host in hostone hosttwo hostthree hostfour; do ssh $host -- <some remote command i want to run on everything>; done

I can argue that I am more productive with this than I am with an IDE, but I won't. I can't remember the last time I used an IDE.Sounds a lot like screen.
That's what I said. Then I discovered the pane feature. Juggling multiple shell sessions has never been the same. IT'S SO FUCKING SIMPLE AND EASY that it sometimes scares me.

« on: July 09, 2013, 12:32:12 am »I agree with nslay; I'd guess a lot of formerly active posters are still checking the forum regularly.
Yup. I still lurk. I even changed the news.
Why is hardly anyone posting? I'd be up for some debates, etc., if anyone showed an interest in expressing their opinions, or even just talking about something they find interesting. Have we all gotten boring?
No idea, but good questions! Let's talk about it!

« on: January 31, 2013, 12:31:54 am »I do hope we get to hear about any FreeBSD experiences he has (if any) ...
I wrote a shell script to do something a few months back. It worked on every machine we put it on but FreeBSD, because whatever version of make was installed on it used a different letter for an argument I needed to pass to it.
Other than that, freeBSD encounters are rare for me. =P
New diet
Down 31lbs so far
Exercise starting this weekend (or Monday)
Goal is to complete a ToughMudder in England at the end of September (with some friends)
I'm not on any diet, but I did start working out at least every other day pretty recently. It helps reduce the frequency and strength of migraines surprisingly well. I get ice pick headaches in their place now; I figure if I keep this up maybe they'll all go away.
