In other news, this week I've found a 16,600+ LOC #Java file in the "main" monolith which performs the bulk of business logic for the main web (interconnected to other monoliths and -from what I've been told- even way huger PL/SQL scripts with tens of thousands LOC). And this is just one file, of thousands.The file has no comments, is not documented anywhere, the variable names are far from informative, and there's at least one function with way more 1000 LOC. Now go and debug this. XD

Rant:

Had a 27" 2k IPS panel... then a 32" 4k ultrawide followed....

Now I'm back on a 24" FHD panel.

Why?

I do not need much more. The resolution is totally fine for me.
I rather work with workspaces in #Xfce now than having 100 windows open on one.

Little side effect.
Before my monitor (Both) used about 40W.... now down to 10W
It is truly amazing how much energy one can conserve with making, to me, small changes.

On that note:
A great forum for all things #Linux in general, and specific distros, is the good old LinuxQuestions Forum:

#Linux fun :linux:

The #Debian Reference is just amazing - a general #Linux intro and many interesting #Debian bits. Highly recommended! :debian:

Let's see how that will go.
I've got a USB Fan here that I will somehow mod onto the #OptiPlex I'm using to further cool it down (Not that it get's too hot - just because I can)
Might also be a good time to change the thermal paste.
Also, I will mount a bigger NVMe drive and give the little thing a good cleaning.
Mini form factors are for sure fun to work with 😎

Small rant:

I use three monitors at work and now use two at home... which in itself is great.
But there is something that nags me.
When dealing with a multi monitor setup I tend to switch my focus too often between monitors. I ask myself if that is the way to go.
Thinking about rather using one and handling all the windows in different #Xfce workspaces - since switching is easy via keyboard.
Maybe this is just me... but I kinda feel a little disorganized - if that makes sense.

A very nice launcher (and much more) is rofi.
I use it with #Xfce to quickly run a application. It is easy to use and the defaults are sane.
Bin it to a keyboard shortcut of your liking and it will be your best buddy soon 😎

Digging a little into #CGI programming via #Apache in the coming days. Many cool things one can do with a webserver on hand. (Leveraging #Python personally) 😎

This is a nice introduction:

#MSYS and #Cygwin are really useful when one is running #Windows :windows8:
Of course, #WSL helps to.
I just personally like the integration of #Cygwin and #MSYS
