I was doing OK, and then I woke up.

Why wake up when you can dream a better reality.

I'm not dead yet, so that's pretty good.
Happy cake day!
That's a nice question! I am doing great, thanks! Just entering the world of Linux, and tinkering with everything is quite fun. How are you doing?
I'm having a great time, trying to get back into coding. Have fun with Linux; I switched to it a couple years ago and never looked back. There's quite a lot you can discover about it.
That's also what I'm doing! It's great to jump back in, and learning new things! Hope you have a great time doing it! Yes! I'm looking forward to understanding it better! It's so different to have to learn to use the command programs I use, for example. I feel GUIs make the user able to use a program sufficiently very fast, but this way hide the way it functions. Reading man pages and looking at the output of the --help flag can be considered tedious, but I feel it allows me to understand the program better, and use it in a more flexible way. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the programs I'm used to usually very strictly tell you (through visual cues, etc), and these command line tools do not, or are at least much less strict. And I like that, it's refreshing!
It took me a year to learn that you can sudo -s to lock the terminal into a root state lmao.
Thanks, I did not know that! Saved me a year!
Make sure to share this info! I find sudo help to be a bit confusing on what -s actually does.
I finished SysAdmin studies (plus taking it as a hobby time before) and never checked nor knew that :^)
I am doing fine my fine sir, how are you?
I too am doing fine my good fine sir
how hath your week been?
I am clinging on dearly for survival. I can only say it is like I have been on a log raft in an endless, stormy ocean for years. My methods of coping are not ideal. But somehow I have survived this long. I really don't know how
Well, a little bit tired, but really well. I'm quite comfy in my bed. And how are u doing?
Pretty good! I've got a big presentation coming up in a couple of hours, but then I plan to relax for the rest of the day.
good plan, hope it goes smoothly
