TIL that m marks horizontal position too in . :vim:

Knew for awhile now that you could get back to the same line using ', but didn't know that you could back to the exact same horizontal position using ` (backtick character). Neat!

Just removed the entire root partition this time, extracted the tar onto the clean partition, actually finished the upgrade this time and bam - finally back on my fresh, up-to-date OS with no reinstalling of the OS or programs. What a ride, but at least I know that my backups work now... 😅 (2/2)

Just recovered from a bricked install for the first time... Accidentally broke it a few days ago when I made the mistake of only partially upgrading some packages.

Used a tar backup to overwrite my root partition, but that caused a lot of conflicting packages errors. Eventually fixed all of them and tried doing a full system upgrade when a power outage hit and bricked the install again. (1/2)

Just heard about this vulnerability in / that allows commands to be run through modelines. :vim:

Easy fix with the securemodelines plugin though.

I don't think it's how any of us hoped it would work out, but there's an argument to be made that this is true.
