I agree, but it should still be retired regardless of intended usage - history matters; we don’t have to mistakenly other people to show off cool screenshots

It’s “rice” because it’s asian; it’s a derogatory term used towards people and their cars. When I was younger, this term was used against asian drivers and their asian cars - and it was not a compliment.

Looking at Urban Dictionary I see no mention of this anti-asian side of it, but it was there when I was growing up. Maybe others can chime in with their experience, I imagine it wasn’t the same everywhere.

Not implying the people using it here are being racist, I don’t think they are aware of what I’m recalling here.

A borderline racial slur about making things look good without substance behind the appearance: e.g.: “riced-up Honda civic”

I love it in principal, but I found it reliable for long term operation. I was trying to use it as part of a home automation setup. Kept it updated, just had to be restarted all the time.

Your experience suggests maybe this isn’t true anymore; are you aware of a time when stability was bad and now it’s fixed?

I stick with vim for years out of that sort of badge of honor. Now I use vscode and nobody is taking it from me.

You can do almost anything in vim or emacs, but I can do it faster in vscode. It’s a really fantastic tool and it’s completely free.

I’m currently working on a disaster recovery plan using fsarchiver. I have very limited experience with it so far, but it had the features and social proof I was looking for.

I have so far used it to create offline filesystem backups of two volumes, one was LUKS encrypted (has to be manually “opened” with cryptsetup).

It can backup live filesystems which was important to me.

It’s early days for my experience with this, but I’m sure others have used it and might chime in.
