nthdeui··on In praise of –dry-run
Like tarsnap's --nuke command:

  --nuke  Delete all of the archives stored.  To protect against accidental
          data loss, tarsnap will ask you to type the text "No Tomorrow"
          when using the --nuke command.

                                                        :P :Print                                                                                      
  :[range]P[rint] [count] [flags]                                                                                                                        
                          Just as ":print".  Was apparently added to Vi for                                                                              
                          people that keep the shift key pressed too long...                                                                             
                          This command is not supported in Vim9 script.                                                                                  
                          Note: A user command can overrule this command.                                                                                
                          See ex-flags for [flags].

nthdeui··on Keyboard lets people type so fast it’s banned from typing competitions
When I learnt to touch type I switched to Dvorak at the same time. I liked the idea of improved efficiency but whenever I had to use someone else's computer or they needed to use mine it was too much hassle. Once I'd relearned to touch type with Qwerty life was so much easier. Also hjkl with Vim using Dvorak was just too hard to get my brain around

rsnapshot onto a portable hard drive, that I take home each night.

I've used Fastmail for a couple of years, after I decided to leave gmail. Very happy with it - it's the only web service I pay for.
