There's a Floatplan exclusive from two months ago, and I think another one from a little further back. As for the other comments about her leaving LTT, I've heard those rumours as well but never managed to find any source for them, so not sure.

My mind somehow merged your username and the title and I read the combination as "Poor baby Jesus is starving". Was confused for a second, and now utterly devastated to see this poor starving cat.

Quick tip for the author and those reading, instead of doing as in the article noted e.g. sudo nano or the like, you can use sudoedit (or sudo -e). The advantage of this is that it will use whatever you have configured as an editor (through $SUDO_EDITOR, $VISUAL or $EDITOR), and will use your configuration files while editing instead of root's, meaning if you have a sick custom neovim or emacs setup you don't have to keep those settings files in sync with the root account. ;)

As the unfortunate owner of a same-gen MBP with the same wireless card, you're looking at using the proprietary driver (I at least never had any luck with the open-source ones). Luckily, Debian do support those, and even have wiki page for them: https://wiki.debian.org/wl

Does require some extra configuration though. If you happen to have a Android phone, you should be able to use that for USB-tethering to have internet access on the device you're installing on, will make the process a lot easier (you don't even need a SIM in it, you can tether your wifi, that's what I ended up doing ๐Ÿ˜…).

Makes sense, it would be a Scatman starting a toilet meme, wouldn't it?

Had to check since this is something I've been wondering myself, but apparently not possible. From the fish FAQ:

Because history substitution is an awkward interface that was invented before interactive line editing was even possible. Instead of adding this pseudo-syntax, fish opts for nice history searching and recall features. Switching requires a small change of habits: if you want to modify an old line/word, first recall it, then edit.

However, for the use case here, with sudo:

As a special case, most of the time history substitution is used as sudo !!. In that case just press Alt+S, and it will recall your last commandline with sudo prefixed (or toggle a sudo prefix on the current commandline if there is anything).
