Appreciate it. Been working on it for about 1.5 years, but it’s a lot of work, and the feature-set isn’t quite right yet. Expect a lot more development and experimentation before it ‘feels’ good.

I made PicPocket to store/share family photos, but it might not be for you

VSCode with vim bindings for coding, neovim for configs, etc.

Wish I could switch fully to neovim but can’t be bothered to spend the time to configure it to my liking

Yes because there are no immigrants in the US, the country literally comprised almost exclusively of immigrants

Aaah, the good old times hacking into The Gibson…

Definitely more convenient than =SUM(A1:A3)

Holy shit I did not realize how complex of a project yt-dlp has to be to do something as simple as download a video... Kudos to the devs

I find it unbelievably cool that the guys who came up with this got it so right the first time, that its still incredibly powerful today.

Agreed, but I didn't want to overwhelm the guy with too much info :P The official guide even recommends checking the cryptographic signature of the script and reading its contents first. I'm sure like all of us they'll nuke their system several times and before long will be writing their own shell scripts.

Because, contrary to what it might seem like, we ALL start out this way using Linux. Everyone makes the same mistakes, so its easy to retrace the logic once you understand what the commands you used to copy-paste are doing. OP you're clearly just making the switch and want to dive head-first into self-hosting as well as Linux, which will be a ton of fun, just try not to get discouraged as there is a lot to learn. Take it one step at a time, and try to understand the commands as there's really not that many, and you re-use these in many scenarios.

I see many people recommending Docker, which is great, but imho a little too early to dive in to if you haven't experimented with Linux at all. Docker is just a container of Linux inside of Linux, so you'll still need to use the command line, and it has its own set of tools. Just my two cents. Somebody else posted but this was the video that also made Linux 'click' for me:

Don't be afraid to break things and start over. Have fun :)
