Re: Favorite programming language(s)

I like C a lot. I recently bought a perl book, which is pretty fun so I practice perl more than C now. Been trying out scheme and prolog, they are pretty fun and different :)

Plan of learning some web stuff in the near feature. CSS and JavaScript.

What about everyone else?

Re: vault - managing secrets

It would be cool to have a separate BBQ vault server. If anyone ever wants to implement it, I have two or three machines waiting to be turned into servers.

Re: Random Internet Thread

Eh, I was never much of a fan of Google anyway. They are a great search engine, but they need to stop trying to be everything. I think I head phrase like that somewhere... ah here it is: "Do one thing and do it well."

I agree with you, rho. The logic was all sound. The only thing that got me confused was the ending: We believe that if we want to see the world of open source software grow and compete at the same level as closed source software, we should encourage users to pay for its development I do not think th...

Re: Mechanical keyboard?

Re: How do you like to install an OS?

I recently got into installing the OS via tarball. Sure it is more complicated this way, but to me it can be more fun. At the end of the day though, I like installers such as BBQinstaller because I can install what I want on the fly.

Re: New on the market / Fresh from the repos

I use Firefox without any sort of adblocking program and I can honestly say that I never have any ads pop up ever. I must have l33t mode turned on in Firefox or something.
