I use a cryfs mount stored in Dropbox. It's been quite painless.

Yes, you'd have to automate the pull for this to work, and then you'd have a way to notify on conflicts so that they are resolved ASAP.

Come to think of it, Dropbox isn't really so great at the notification aspect of this either. It creates a 'conflicted' file but there is no notification that I'm aware of. I have to remind myself to periodically check for conflicts.

This behavior is not confined to Apple TV. Isn't it the same on every client? Roku and the web interface are both guilty as well.

It's so obnoxious that I would consider paying extra to 1) shut this off, and 2) have a sane implementation of some sort of helpful/powerful search filter.

That sounds like a lot of work for something that a browser should provide an easy, up-front way to configure.

I use something like this but I initialize the file with the contents of the clipboard. I use xclip but I think xsel can do the same. Here's a snippet:

    xclip -o > "$tmpfile"    # initialize file with clipboard contents
    gvim --nofork "$tmpfile"
    xclip -i "$tmpfile"      # push file to clipboard

Bind it to a global hotkey and you can use it from anywhere.

Yes, as dated as it looks now, it was the first unix desktop that felt 'polished' to me up to that point. It's also the first desktop I had that was in colour though, so maybe that's part of it.

I don't know but it seems to break Vimium-FF navigation. None of the keyboard mappings work.

Not sure if you are aware of this but the bind-key here sets it up so that pressing ` twice sends the backtick through:

    set-option -g prefix `
    bind-key ` send-prefix

I don't find it's too much of a pain to press twice when in markdown.

Yes. You might look into setting up shellcheck (https://www.shellcheck.net/) as a linter for your editor - it'll help break your habit pretty quickly.

With tmux being more client/server based, it's more scriptable. You can run tmux commands inside or outside of tmux session which is really useful - for example you can use send-keys to perform actions within a session. You can pretty easily script things like initial session/window/pane configuration. I'm not sure you can do that with screen.

Interesting choice. I've been using ` (backtick) for command key, which has the advantage of not requiring a control key input.

I just realized though that I don't have a mapping for last-window. And there doesn't seem to be a default.

I've noticed this as well - I find I have to quote words more often to force the search in the right direction.

I'm not the original commenter, but I just started using cryfs in Dropbox and it's working very well: https://github.com/cryfs/cryfs

KDE plasma has just started incorporating this into their desktop as a product called 'Vaults'.

Isn't this already in java 8? As of update 20 you can set -XX:+UseStringDeduplication if you are using the new -XX:+UseG1GC garbage collector.

Yes, getting the key mappings to your liking is key. There are lots of resources available. One good place to start is the online book The Tao of tmux https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux/read.

Using copy mode to navigate the scroll buffer is also a useful feature - you can really cut down the use of a mouse in the terminal.

I actually went a little bit down the nvim route as well, since it has nice built-in shell support.

What I think you're missing with just nvim is the tmux scripting capabilities and of course the session management.

It's pretty easy to script up a tailored set of tmux sessions/windows/panes. I do this on initial login. Other solutions like tmuxinator/tmux-resurrect exist to automate this setup, if you don't want to script it.

I've been a long-time user of terminator on linux. I started playing around with tilix a couple of months ago, and really liked it.

Interestingly though, what I finally realized is there is a huge amount of value in ditching both and switching over to tmux. Tmux does everything that tilix does but is completely independent of the underlying terminal. What I finally realized is that tmux is not just about persistent sessions - the screen/pane management along with completely keyboard-based navigation and history/copy/paste commands just blows the tiling terminals away.

I use jrnl http://jrnl.sh/, which is an excellent command-line app for time-based capture. It also supports tagging and has a really useful query mechanism.

If they want to monetize history via search they could still do that but as a side bar or some other mechanism. i.e., Provide extensive, rich history tracking, but also add some sort of optional search based on relevant context (just please do not make it automatic).

It's easy to forget that most of the Velvet Underground stuff was done in the 60's. So radically different from what was going on at the time. And so influential on what came after.

From the article - I'd love to see this stuff:

  Surprises seem to come out of nowhere. A Sony Walkman lightly coated with rust turns out to be a special
  edition, presented to Reed by the company, with a custom silver case made by Tiffany. A reissue copy of the
  Byrds' 1966 raga-jazz single "Eight Miles High" has a handwritten note inside the picture sleeve: "Thought you
  might enjoy a little more Coltrane." It is signed "Jimmy Page" – an early Reed fan who, as a Yardbird in 1968,
  was covered the Velvets' "I'm Waiting for the Man" on stage.

With a key file stored outside of dropbox, for a bit more security. Requires an extra step of manually copying the file to each device but it seems worth it to me.

Personally, I can't do without Tree Style Tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta...

Re: eclipse. Rather than the bridge you might want to give vrapper (http://vrapper.sourceforge.net/home/) a try. I find it to be quite acceptable - much better than having no vim keybindings. It's very comparable to the jetbrain's vim plugin.

I like ss, except I can never seem to remember the name. The two letters don't seem to have any relation to the functionality.

The man page refers to it as "ss - another utility to investigate sockets". That doesn't seem to help.

I'll jump in and mention VimFx [0] here because, having the same concerns, I recently switched over from vimperator. It's lighter than vimperator but gives much of the similar functionality, without completely revamping the browser. And it should continue to work as Firefox moves ahead.

One issue I have with pass is that it leaks meta-data about what you have stored. The contents are encrypted, yes, but the filename identifying the content is sitting right there in the open.

I just do this in an overnight cron: `pacman -Syuw --noconfirm`

It pulls down all the updated packages but doesn't install. The packages are then ready for update when you are.

	The National Security Agency has proposed that ALL encryption be
  done with devices designed by them, the internal workings of which will be
  not be divulged. They apparently didn't like the public debate on the last
  voluntary standard (for which SOME details were published), centering on
  whether it had been designed to allow them to easily read "private"
  communications. If this doesn't bother you, consider what your reaction would be
  to the U.S. Postal service ( which already  has a legal monopoly on carrying
  mail) proposing that, for effiency, only it could provide envelopes and these
  envelopes could only be sealed and opened by postal service employees.

It looks like cmus can use streams. Have you tried GMusicProxy http://gmusicproxy.net/ ? I use it with mpd but it should work with cmus as well. It's nice not to be able to access google play music via a regular music player.
