I booted up that system and after waiting an hour or so for Windows Update to finish

Crazy workstation though -- wish I had need for all that power so I could justify buying one to play with

https://regexlearn.com/ is interactive to get you started.
Then try reading maybe the python regex docs for more detailed info. There are multiple flavors of regex as well, which makes it even more confusing (yay), but you'll eventually grok it enough to make it a part of your toolbox! I use simple regex frequently for search/replace (VScode or vim), and in the shell.
For more complex string parsing operations, there's often a faster/better method than regex, but it's really good to know.
Overwatch 2 (unranked) on PS5 (mostly a way to hang with my brother who lives in another country)
And also MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries on my Linux laptop
Love your username—I really wish Jim Butcher would finish the final Dresden books! The Mechwarrior: Dark Age novels can be read without the other ones I think...
A friend has recommended both the Blood of Kerensky and Gray Death Legion trilogies in the BattleTech series—which should be standalone?—and I'm looking forward to reading them as well!
This image is amazing... Wonder if it could work to convince some people
I am on book #16 of the Mechwarrior: Dark Age BattleTech novels. Not high literature or anything, just sci-fi and big robots with lasers! The setting and technology is interesting, and there are several different authors who wrote the series. The changing writing styles and voices switch things up enough to keep me reading.
Me and my brother would sit in the magazine aisle at the grocery store and pore over Nintendo Power like it was a religious text lol
Also, you just made me remember getting all those demo discs with PlayStation magazine
I used RedReader for many years. It's one of the few apps that was given an accessibility exclusion, but I still don't want to get back on Reddit. Now I'm currently trying out Connect, Liftoff, Jerboa, and others to see which I like the best for Lemmy.
Yes I've used rename! In my case, I just need to rename and reorganize a bunch of movies & associated metadata files into directories. I don't have too many stored digitally now, so I think just shaving the yak and doing it manually via file share will work for now.
Never been an emacs user... Seems like quite a rabbit hole
Helix + zellij huh? I'll definitely try it out
Laziness so far haha but yes that's a good plan
Ahh I missed that!
Makes more sense then -- that seemed a bit long for any update
