holy things in computers:
- trust, privacy
- ascii text files
- hitting one key to do a task
- understanding what is happening
- mouse
- custom user interfaces (custom keyboards, buttons, guis, etc)
- automating tasks via terminal/cli (I say this not just as an enemy of gui os but on a strictly practical level. Cron is efficient and beautiful. Task scheduler is how NOT to do scheduling.)
- backups
- reproducible things (i.e. docker. but not a laptop with the only reproducible dev environment you have for a program made 20+ years ago)
- stepping away from computers for a period of time and returning to them
- simplicity
- repositories of basic files. i.e. places where you can visit and get say:
Random images, random text files, random movies. random songs. A combination of randomness with common media types. Sometimes they are geared to a subject (i.e. rock music, anime images). but no fluff, just the media. An example would be https://safebooru.org/ and https://danbooru.donmai.us/ We need more websites like this.
- repos of programs
- this:
send things via nc (just a raw tcp connection)
Rcvr
nc -l -p 23456 > somefile.txt
Sender
cat /tmp/somefile.txt | nc 192.168.1.100:23456
- network monitoring
- cpu / ram monitoring of a program as development progresses, tracing, profiling
- computer instruction repositories / search engines (https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code)
- when you can list all the processes running, and they dont overflow the screen (this is another simplicity)
