Upgraded the firmware on my router. Now my lights won't turn on. The world we live in 😂

[Nicolas Alpi 🍪 @nicalpi]

@benlumley Haha great one! I also rely so much on these history that I symbolic link my .zshrc to a place like dropbox folder so there is always a copy somewhere just in case

[Ben Lumley @benlumley]

@nicalpi Same, like this idea!

How has it taken me over 10 years to realise I can make by bash history much more searchable by adding comments after commands?

eg: ssh user@ip # server name

[Ben Lumley @benlumley]

@stevekirtley Not organised enough for that - I use the ctrl r search a lot - which this makes infinitely more useful

@_alastair What they ^ said about laser and child colouring. Never has a printer had so much use. Get a WiFi one and put it under the bed?

Recent bike use has so far resulted in 1 broken bottom bracket, bent derailleur and snapped hanger + 1 snapped wheel axle. Teach me to leave it neglected in the garage for 14+ yrs…

Someone doesn't want to use git because there'll be conflicts. Yes. This is the point; we need to know.

I know the world has bigger problems… but pretty upset to see that I now have to spend £25 and not just £10 for free delivery on Toolstation….!!
