Sounds like dogs barking at/with each other in the night back when I was growing up. You’d hear the occasional how-how-hoooooww from one of them, and others would join in. Wolf’ish in some ways. The city I grew up in was much less crowded back then.
Now: I guess self driving cars fill in the void left by dogs not barking at each other anymore.

Nobody cares about the $135000, I told you!
See how the socket looks like a V?
That’s how you remember it’s meant to be used to exit vi.
No software is guaranteed to run on all platforms: the developers choose to make it available or not.
I did some quick googling, and it seems fairly easy to install it:
Use Ubuntu (if you’re not familiar with, and don’t want to be familiar with terminal basics), and install chirp from the Ubuntu App store. Snap is just a name of their package format, and their app store links to snap craft.
If you’re not using Ubuntu, that’s your choice, you’ll either have to install snap, then do the same, but it’s more work. Or play with the terminal just a bit to follow their instructions.
If you’re on Ubuntu or have snap installed - it’s a one click operation to install chirp: https://snapcraft.io/chirp-snap
If you’re on another distribution by choice: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux
this page has a 3 step install for mainstream Linux distributions:
If you want persistent messages, use a messaging app like another poster posted. KDE connect should work, but it doesn’t work for my setup for some reason.
If you just need transient messages, which is more of my usecase, and lightweight sending, use pairdrop.
snapdrop and pairdrop app from fdroid for Android, pairdrop website in desktop.
You can just use the website instead of app on phone too.
Sending over LAN is local - it doesn’t go outside your own network.
If devices are on same WiFi, no pairing required.
You can also send across networks by pairing.
Now onto the four body problem!
The traffic is stuck in the traffic🚦
Somehow reminds me of this
This is from termux
on my Android phone, not from my desktop/laptop.
Only gvim
is available in pkg, not vim
. I had the same surprise when I didn’t see vim
.
I’ve been telling myself that for a while.
I guess it’s time now.
I’m 6 feet 2 inches. Would that be high enough?
Too late. Removed batteries, now car doesn’t start ☹️
I’ve learned a few new commands now. :e
dials an existing contact, and :w
saves contact information.
:q!
is super useful for hanging up on robo-callers
I think this thing could work… I dub it the vimphone!
Try it to find out!
pkg install gvim
. You might have to add the xorg repo - it will tell you what to do if you try running vim
vim
Home Manager is a BIG rabbithole of it’s own for sure. Between nixos
, nix
, and home-manager
, I’ve probably skimped on sleep for weeks.
At the moment, I primarily use 3 distributions ( OpenSuse Tumbleweed NixOS Ubuntu ), but each one of them uses a combination of chezmoi to sync dotfiles, and home-manager to manage command line packages - nice to be able to have the same command line utilities and tools available.
One thing I like about my current home-manager config is that it installs more packages on nixos than on other distributions, by separating the all_os vs. nix_only packages into two separate files, and sourcing them like so:
imports = [
./all_os.nix
] ++ lib.optional (builtins.pathExists /etc/nixos/configuration.nix) ./nixos_only.nix;
Anyways, I digress :)
I wonder if this is heaven or hell 😅
