I haven’t tried running a matrix server, but ejabberd has been very solid, and it’s not too difficult to set up.

My thing is C++ and Z80/45GS02 assembly, and I love a good terminal, so wherever that puts me I guess

Dunno if Emacs Lisp counts as a life hack, but I’ve been slowly learning it, and it’s very nice to be able to setup custom workflows with such a high degree of customization (and a substantial amount of flycheck yelling at me)

Mine’s pretty great at reading a 1400-page manual for an 8-bit system. Whether or not my habit of reading a 1400-page manual for an 8-bit system is actually beneficial is up for debate.

Definitely rookie numbers, I’m somewhere around 1100 Firefox tabs atm…

Dunno where CP/M got it from but PIP and REN use DEST.EXT=SRC.EXT, so that arg style dates back to then at least.

Also, CP/M 2.2’s ED is great, it’s my daily driver editor on my RC2014.

E: Wow, I really can’t type.

Accidentally put grub on the wrong partition on the device, which it was not happy with. Was able to copy some files over, manually boot the OS, and reconfigure grub to be in the right partition, took me about 2 hours? Then I did it again on a different machine, and speedran it lol

Started with Raspbian when I first got my Pi, and have mostly used KUbuntu or Debian since.
