dockerlocker··on A Docker Container Pattern – Compose Configuration
Ah, so you are that one guy on the internet that has so many other things to do, nice to meet you!

It is not about time. We have 24 hours every day, everyone has lots of things to do.

If I could read just one or two sentences describing what your code does, I had at least some basic information to consider if it is worth spending some time on this.

As there is nothing and you think it is a waste of time to document that code, why should I spend my time with some code that you think is a waste of time to document?

Anyway, have a nice day!

dockerlocker··on Vim 8.0 is coming
a good example for a stupid limitation and the enprmous waste of brian power just for a very simple thing. Have to start studying and doing real research for the most simple features. Waste!
dockerlocker··on Vim 8.0 is coming
no, i do not want to disable line numbering. I want to avoid to copy them. I do not want to switch line numbering on off for every copy process. Absurd idea.

too many keystrokes, checked that.

Is there a way how I can copy blocks of code outside the vim window to another application without also copying the line numbers?

Also is there one simple key combination to [un]comment a line or a selected block?

I found out how to do many simple operations with this ancient tool, what can be really fun if you have nothing else funny in life (too many people have no other sources of fun, really) - but I am still not convinced. Many operations that are a no-brainer in e.g. geany take serious planning and studying in vim - this is absurd.

I fear that we are wasting many potentially good programmers because they accept the primitivism and stupid limitations of vim as something "cool" and will never again in their lives be able to program a user-friendly GUI because their brain is "vimed out". Maybe that is one of the reasons why we still have so much really bad software.

Once I was totally impressed by programmers, they were the wizards of today, superbrains, uber-humans. Then I learned programming and understood how many uncreative and cognitively limited people are just repeating stuff that somebody else has told them, without ever asking. Basically the typical obey-guy, the perfect follower who never questions any order will be that kind of a good programmer, reading manuals and getting happy that he is able to reproduce - there is no creative moment here. Only very few of them are part of a creative elite that actually brings new ideas to life - most of them are totally dumb rat soldiers just following the orders. This is the reason why such ultra-primitive tools like vim still exist.

dockerlocker··on PfSense 2.3-Release Now Available
In my last round of my linux firewall comparison I liked opnsense very much:

https://opnsense.org/

not affiliated, I just liked it. However the GUI is made of many php scripts (if they did not change meanwhile) - so it would be great if many more eyes would like to take a look at the code...

Please add a description to your code. Yes, we can read the source, but at least a few sentences about what your work is about and what it will do will motivate many more people to take a closer look. Adding good docs values your own work!
