I honestly still use Perl for small scripts as a Bash alternative. It is very powerful and is already installed everywhere. I just try not to use it for things others might have to work on…

I shudder at the thought of the ancient 1000+ lines Perl scripts… The seal must not be broken

Time for a full day of listening to SOAD, thanks

Time for a new mission to rescue Bill!

8 missions and 8 dead pilots later: ah fuck it

I completely disagree with this and have been for years.

It has often had connectivity issues, big lags, higher latencies and lower bitrates than Mumble or even TeamSpeak.

It’s super bloated, they churn out useless “features” so fast that it keeps making it use more resources and makes everything slower.

Until recently, being in voice call with more than 3-4 people made all my 16 cores attempt self destruction.

It is a freemium piece of bloatware.

If you need a daemon (to always run in the background, like on a server), use Deluge or Transmission.

If you just need a basic client that can live in your systray, qBittorrent.

I agree. My .zshrc is littered with functions. Most useful ones are my pack and extract I made ~10 years ago, they just recognize file extension and use the correct tool.

I will say I had a lot of trouble with Bluetooth (bluez) on Linux, but I think it mainly comes down to the implementation. I have a cheap dongle and pairing gamepads has been a nightmare sometimes.
