I took a few weeks off of using Xenialpup (aka Puppy Linux) until I could figure out a setup that would take the pup_save off of my Windows hard drive and put it on a USB flash drive. Did that. First boot didn't work, but second did. Keeping fingers crossed.

Using Vim in my project has really helped my skills in that editor. That's what working with a couple dozen small Vim files per day will do for you.

I had to ssh into a server yesterday and set up a small script and a cron job, and I could feel how different that process was now that I can do more with Vim.

I can move around in files much more easily, and I know the basics of copy/move/paste, which is more than I could say before.

Clojure is trying to push me in the Emacs direction, and maybe I could get comfortable with that editor, but the universality of Vim/Vi is hard to ignore.

I got NordVPN working via OpenVPN in Fedora Linux. It wasn't as easy as in Windows, where there's a turnkey app, but these instructions worked both in the console and via NetworkManager, and I recommend you use the latter. https://nordvpn.com/tutorials/linux/openvpn/

If you want to run exa, a modern replacement for ls, via a binary package, systems that offer them are Mac OS's Homebrew, and Arch and Fedora Linux. Nothing yet for Debian or Ubuntu, as far as I can tell. https://the.exa.website/

I needed to set my classpath for Java in Windows, and despite this page saying it's obsolete, it worked for Win 10. Now I can keep my Java libraries in one directory and use them wherever I'm working on a program. https://introcs.cs.princeton.edu/java/15inout/classpath.html

There's a spy in the house, and it's name is Alexa (or its Google equivalent). People seem to be OK with this, and it is disturbing. I'm worried that the act of using a smarphone is no better in terms of how we're being tracked by corporations.
