Unfortunately, I only had limited interactions with him. I was the lead on a project that needed a few things from his team, and we had a number of meetings due to that.
From my limited contact, he seemed like a chill guy. Never made any unreasonable assumptions and had a technical view on how to solve problems.
Man, I’m sad 😔.
I knew him personally (we worked for the same company at a point in time, although very different departments). I’m also a heavy vim user.
We once were in the same meeting where the unsuspecting meeting chair was taking nodes in emacs org-mode. Most of other meeting members were not geeks, so nobody knew who Bram was. I said “Bram, look at this, they’re taking notes in emacs just to piss you off”, to which he responded “yeah, and it is horrible…” 😁
Farewell and :wq
For command line sync to the cloud you can use rclone. It’s FOSS and works with many different cloud providers.
For a constant sync experience you can use insync. It’s closed source and requires a license though, but works reasonably well.
Sorry for the lack of direct links since I’m on the phone.
I have wireguard for other purposes but I also have ssh open on a different port. I don’t much understand the argument of exchanging ssh for wireguard. In the end, we’re just trading an attack vector for another.
My ssh only allows connections from my user. If I’m using password auth, I also request a 2FA.
Tail scale is also a good idea but I don’t like having my control plane under someone else’s control.
