This is an overkill solution to saving social media videos to my iPhone.

My Kindle Fire 7 (2015) wouldn’t boot, so here’s how I fixed it.

I use tmux as my screen multiplexer, and in the past, I used control-A d to disconnect and tmux a -d to reattach to the session. This gets cumbersome if I haven’t created a tmux session yet, since tmux a -d will give me an error that no session exists.

This past week I bought a new laptop, a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Nano (say that five times fast). It’s been awhile since I have set up a new machine, so I started to document setting this one up. I’m surprised how quickly I had it set up, no wonder I haven’t automated it. In no particular order, here are the apps I use regularly. Browsers Windows comes with Edge installed, but I also install Google Chrome, Brave, and Firefox.

I’m very comfortable with bash, and I use it a lot with tmux. However, I didn’t like how I would lose command line history across these multiple terminals. After doing a little research, I figured out how to save my history for each terminal. Not only that, but I can also search all of the history. Now I don’t lose commands!

The advantages are many, with the biggest being its cross-platformness (it’s a word now, I just used it). I can run Telegram on any of my devices and computers, easily sharing information, pictures, and other multimedia. Telegram offers unlimited storage, although the individual file size is limited to 2GB. More than enough space for bookmarks, notes, pictures, and videos that I may come across in my internet travels.

I ran in to a little issue with my publish.sh script that I use to automatically publish my site with Hugo. I wipe out the public folder and then rebuild the site with Hugo. After that is done, the public folder is synced to the web host, using the --delete option. The problem arises if Hugo encounters an error. The site isn’t rebuilt but the now empty public folder is synced, wiping out the website.

The song was originally released in 1983, but didn’t become popular until it was attached to Beverly Hills Cop.
