Anyone know a good tool to search for torrents in the terminal?

Torrench has suddenly disappeared from all package managers - no idea why.

I've just got upstairs neighbours, and they're my first adjacent neighbours. Guess that's the end of playing death metal at 4am.

ncmpcpp set up, mpsyt ready to play from YouTube, and my girlfriend insists on opening Firefox to play YouTube mixes. :|

The best text editor is:

"cat>>file"

Fight me.

Checking in now is €4. We forgot your details. Fuck you.

I loathe GUIs with a strange passion, and it's just got worse:

Question: When searching for connecting flights on the third flight website of the trip, do you search:

a) B for "Britain"
b) G for "Great Britain"
c) U for "United Kingdom"
d) S for "Scotland"
e) T for "The United Kingdom"

If you answered the above, you are wrong.

The correct answer was "E", for "European", and then scroll down till you find "United Kingdom", while searching for cards, but b) for "British", for nationality.

Hey, @sakurambonaifufufu! Hope you guys like Mastodon. I still can't find an instance which looks like a great fit for the NNK, but maybe if you're on here you'll hear some similar voices and could make an instance there.

I'll keep a lookout, but you'd do better than I at maintaining a Mastodon instance for the NNK.

Birthday today, and the first question three Serbian lads had to ask was "Is it really depressing?".

I just told them "Nah, you get depressed before that. By 33 you just know you're going to get sick and die soon".

Summer's here, and it's difficult to read the goth laptop, so here comes the Sun!

... of course this went overboard and the main rig got converted, and I'll need a crontab script to switch between them at some point.

Installing Windows VMs for work.

Typing 'update' into search or even the setttings, does not bring up updates.

When using Edge to search for Chrome, Bing returns an advert for Chrome, and the advert returns 'page not found', as if the user might say 'Oh well, best just use Edge then!'.

Every second action brings up Trump's face.

Two gig of RAM and loading Notepad takes so long that I had a minor existential crisis waiting for it to open.

Void Linux is like a gourmet restaurant. It's all quality, but there's only five things on the menu, you're expected to know what they are without descriptions, and if you feel like a burger and chips you'll have to go next door.

Is there any way to pipe ncurses input? I want to use airodump-ng to detect nearby wifi signals so people in my office get a theme song when they come in. I could dump the output to disk every 3 seconds, then have a program trawl through it, but that seems like an awful way to treat an ssd, and generally poor taste to write all that data when the only thing I care about is a single 'in/out' variable for each person.

@hund I had a look at your site for revision, but there are loads of new bash observations and tips here! https://hund0b1.gitlab.io/2019/02/11/a-collection-of-handy-ways-of-manipulating-text-in-bash.html

How did I not know about the Gemini PDA before? I was getting all excited for the Librem 5 and there's already a Linux phone on the market apparently.

Or is there something wrong with it?
