It's short for et cetera. It represents everyone I didn't explicitly mention
You're welcome
There are many modern alternatives to common Unix commands, often written in rust, or provided in Nushell, that showcase that. Here are some common themes I like:
Good defaults:
You shouldn't have to memorize tar -xzvf just to extract a tar file; The thing you're most likely to want to do should be the default. But other use cases should still be achievable through the use of flags. Make simple thing easy and difficult things possible.
Subcommands: It helps separate and discover the different functions of a CLI. Paired with a help subcommand, you can quickly look up information for the subcommand you're actually interested in.
Domain specific languages:
Many problems already have a solution in the form of a DSL, such as Regex or SQL. My favourite example for this is httpie, which lets you specify the type, body and parameters of an HTTP request without touching any flags.
I also much prefer long flags over short ones, because they are self-documenting.
Even if you can't afford Nebula, I recommend browsing its explore section, because many of its high quality creators and videos are also on YouTube. The following are some of my favourite creators on YouTube.
30 minute animated documentary-style videos: LEMMiNO, melodysheep, fern, Hoog, neo, PolyMatter, Imperial, Cipher, Real Engineering, Mustard
Shorter explainer videos: Posy, Kurzgesagt, PBS Space Time, Sciencephile the AI, minutephysics, Steve Mould, Half as Interesting
The two times something like this happened to me, it was always a RAM issue. One time it was XMP, the other time I forgot to install swap, so the memory simply ran out
Probably, but YouTube also compresses popular videos more aggressively, so you need to download less data to watch a second of video.

True, I almost forgot that I had to give them my ID. That's pretty bad for your own privacy, but other than that Germany has better privacy laws than most other countries
Hetzner has some really cheap servers in Germany
A photo of a cake with 8 candles in a row. The first and fifth candle from the right are lit. The caption reads "Happy 17th Birthday"
Whenever I see this picture I think of this:
| Creature | Swims | Walks | Flies |
| -------- | ----- | ----- | ----- |
| Dog | X | X | |
| Fish | X | | |
| Bird | | X | X |
| Duck | X | X | X |
Notice how for each combination of swimming, walking and flying, there is a living creature that can do just that, with the exception of swimming and flying.
Sure there are flying fish, but they glide rather than fly. Did evolution really forget to cover this niche?
McMahon reaction meme depicting increasing satisfaction. Descriptions read as follows:
- "You discover a new app"
- "It's in Nixpkgs"
- "It has a NixOS module"
- "It has a Home Manager module"
- "It has a Stylix module which makes it look awesome"
Sayori meme representing Linux users. Sayori is disgusted by text reading "receiving pre-installed bloatware" and instead approves "accumulating bloatware over time". Bloatware refers to unused packages.
Edit: You are so kind to give me advice on how to remove bloatware, but I don't need it :D

For professional email I recommend firstname.lastname@domain because it's very common and lets people almost uniquely identify you from your email address alone. You could also register a domain such as lastname.com such that you can use firstname@lastname.com. Just make sure to use a reputable email host to make sure that your emails don't end up in spam.
