"Minecraft was supposed to be about simplicity."

Minecraft was supposed to be a toy project Notch wanted to mess around with. Simplicity has never been a target, since every major release, including during the in/infdev days has had major changes.

If the file does not exist, it creates an empty file. That is what most people use touch for.

Another way to touch a file:

cp /dev/null file

Test if a port is listening without telnet:

echo > /dev/tcp/address/port && echo Yes || echo No

That's not actually a file. It's just a path Bash recognizes and is the interface to socket functionality. udp works too.

I think I only have three subscriptions at the moment... Prime, Chewy, and a news commentary streaming site I like. That's pretty much it, not very expensive. Everything else is available to me by other means if I'm willing to pay one-off fees or just step outside my house. I'm okay with this.

I know BMW turn signals are a meme (with good reason...), but I've noticed the exact same behavioral trend with Lexus drivers as well. It's really just those two makes in particular.

The package format only really matters to packagers anymore I think. RHEL and SUSE are both RPM based though. The difference which matters to users is the package manager on top, which for RHEL is dnf (formerly yum) and on SUSE it's zypper. They're both competent package managers in my opinion.

Wouldn't power cycling your bulbs like that lower their longevity?

Not even your phone?

No. Thankfully reader mode can parse it at least.

I just use the Home and End keys in the terminal, which seems intuitive enough to me.

Eight's JVM still ships with Minecraft, so that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's battle-proven.

Isn't that the reason ECC memory was created?

This is the most underrated comment in this thread. Purpose is essential in ensuring one's mental well-being. Without it, you hit burnout or depression quickly.

I'm not the person you replied to, but to answer your second question myself, yes, I do. I have four desktop PCs (one for each of my family members including myself), a netbook, and a custom built router in my house. All run Linux except the router, which runs a flavor of BSD. The Linux computers use AMD graphics with the open source AMDGPU driver. No Windows PCs[0], no blob drivers. Works quite well in practice.

[0]: My work laptop runs Windows 10, because they issued it, administer it, and own it. I'm required to use their software baseline for working.

I imagine if you had a million bucks you could set something like that up.

I work maybe two hours a day. They're very productive, but I cannot be productive constantly for more than that due to having to wait on other people in order to get stuff done, and, of course, the inevitable burnout which will occur if I exceed that.

How do we know yet if it's long-lasting?
