  1. OTOH you aren’t gonna be safe because you’re quiet. Communication is a calculated risk. Shit gets taken out of context, too. Instead of “don’t say anything incriminating” which is a good start, don’t say anything you wouldn’t be willing to do time over. #HelpfulHint

  2. #HelpfulHint for aspiring hacker insurrectionists and everyone else too at the rate things are going: no tech is more secure than keeping your mouth shut.

  3. #HelpfulHint for #PKM organization

    Organize your notes following PARA, an acronym which stands for

    • Project

    • Area

    • the Rest of the fscking owl

    • Archive

  4. Good morning! Today's #HelpfulHint

    right foot goes in right shoe, left foot goes in left shoe

  5. Installed fx and otreefor JSON viewing in the terminal. otree is prettier, but fx is more responsive to user input for large documents (a 354K line file).

  8. I'll start to implement the thing. While I'm typing I'll think of how the thing can be even better and I'll start typing that. If I'm lucky I'll remember how Rosencrantz always jumps ideas like that and ruins everything. If I'm lucky and smart I'll go back to the original thing.

    This has been your #SeniorDev #HelpfulHint

  9. #HelpfulHint for package documentation: it may be an inadvisable practice but people will copy and paste your CLI instructions. Why not make that easier by leaving out $PS1?

    Instead of

    $ sudo apt-get install blah blah

    maybe

    sudo apt-get install blah blah

    It took me a while to come around to this one myself, but it does clarify the instructions.

  12. I need to learn how to do a "thread" on here. My potato salad "posts" would be an example of this. (First time I expanded on a post and it does not look right.)

    Also, note to self: remember to respond to comments/questions - but not to the Mastodon WORLD. #StillLearning #MastodonForDummies

    #HelpfulHint, however: sometimes there's a lot of info hidden" in #AltText especially when creating a post and you are limited by character.... so you put info in the Alt Text photo! This is a thing, right?

  14. @newz Way too many #Hashtags. Take it easy on them bot account. It's way too busy.

    #HelpfulHint

  15. @niamhgarvey thank you, I often forget about capitalising the first words in tags, which daft as being dyslexic, I'm one of the people who benefit. Thank you for the reminder.

    I just started writing the tags below and an issue is that as my spelling is poor, when I am a few letters in and the tag I want is suggested, I click on it and it's not got the caps.. so that's a drag.

    In case anyone else is reading this thinking it'd help only to use capitals - please don't, block caps are the worst.

  16. BTW Here's your DevOps #HelpfulHint for the day:

    Try not to hit `C-c` when Terraform's doing something.

  17. #HelpfulHint: when someone needs my attention and I'm in the middle of something thinky — but I know they really need my attention — I put a little "YOU ARE HERE" line in my notes.

    Such as "YOU ARE HERE: trying to log into AWS"

    It's been a lifesaver I tell you what.

  18. #HelpfulHint: When in a remote meeting, make sure to check the mic and camera are both off before telling your partner "I WANT TO TOUCH THE BOOTY LET ME TOUCH THE BOOTY PLEASE"

  19. #HelpfulHint for bug fixes: If you stop displaying the field, then it can't show the wrong value.

  20. So #HelpfulHint: clearing up about 180GB of clutter (hello ADHD) has dramatically improved the performance of my 2015 MBP.

  21. Having more fun with Doom Emacs now that I'm giving it a real chance.

    org-roam works (#HelpfulHint: link everything! It's fun!), and doom supports literate config with no extra fuss.

  22. Accidental discovery I'm sharing as a #helpfulhint this cold season:

    a little beard oil on a chapped nose is kinda nice actually
