I just built a desktop with 64gb of RAM. I could get by on 16 easily. Should I seek treatment?
Nah, install a terminal multiplexer instead.
That’s quite the URL. Is it named after one of Elon’s kids?
As the other person said, domains beginning with xn-- are non-ASCII domains in Punycode.
The real domain is: マリウス.com
Today I learned!
punycode domains fucking rule! registrars ignore the shortening, so you can get a single character domain like ツ.gay for a pittance. there’s some non-english TLDs that resolve through punycode as well. generally they’ll have some SOLID english words that haven’t yet been taken, like butts.移动
i own both of those by the way. ツ.gay will take you to the new onehundredninetysix community, and butts.移动 goes to my favorite youtube video!

I'm so happy it's not Rick Astley's song. I 100% expected you to fool us.
It’s how non-Latin Unicode domain names are encoded, in this case one made out of Japanese characters. I suppose it depends on the browser whether or not it shows them.
You do need it.
If your anything like me you end up with 200 terminal windows open on your desktop.
With a Terminal multiplexer you can attach to named sessions from any terminal open and get the correct context for long running things you care about
200?! I can pretty confidently say approximately nobody is anything like you 😄
for nop in $(seq 1 200); do
open -a Terminal --new &
sleep 0.1
done

Annoyingly long post totally misses the point of using tmux and chalks it up to "elitism". So who's really acting like an elitist contrarian??
It's sarcasm. They posted an update.
I got whooshed then. Maybe because I only skimmed the article to try to figure out what their point was.
Pretty much agree with most of his post. Terminal multiplexers are useless on your desktop, but great on servers you ssh to.
Wild ideas aside, zellij is really nice as just a terminal multiplexer though 😅
Do you not SSH onto your desktop? I do it all the time. I often want to switch from coding at my desk to coding on a laptop, and tmux + SSH makes that transition completely seamless.
Do you use any IDE with that flow?
Basically just tmux + Helix + fish shell.
Yes, vim.
Nah, my desktop is for gaming 😄 Also I do most of my coding on a server I ssh to anyway.
So you admit it's not useless on the desktop of you actually code locally.
If you switch between doing it locally and accessing your machine remotely it makes sense. But if you stay entirely locally then your DE or compositor is probably way more powerful and easier to use than a multiplexer. Unless you stay entirely in text mode and don't even have a GUI, then it starts to make sense again I guess.
I 100% get his point, I only use it on my pc because I also use it on my server which I ssh into and I’ve got a lot of muscle memory there. I also sometimes ssh into my pc from other pcs (and even the server too confusingly) so I like to have tmux there for that too. Though I don’t mess with it, I don’t play with themes or configs really, and I’m certainly not interested in controlling Spotify from my tmux setup.
That's a really nice read. My own excuse for using tmux is that I want other people to be able to use my computer if they ever need to, so instead of installing a tiling WM I use a solution that only adds keyboard-centric navigation to the tools that I use.
