Don't use Vim

Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time.

-- Anthony Vincenzo "Tony" Baretta

Vim is an amazing text editor. I love it. Really, I wouldn't [organize][organize] a Vim advent calendar if I didn't. But, as amazing as it is, Vim is not for everyone. It can't solve all your problems, or be a TUI version of your favorite IDE, or make you a better programmer, or land you that dream job in the Bay Area. But Vim can help you be more mindful, focused, and efficient, as long as you approach it with the right mindset.

Don't get me wrong, I certainly welcome you to try Vim, but I'm not a proselyte. I don't thrive on newbies. I just want you to use the right tool for the job and not waste your—and anyone's—time on a fruitless quest.

Create a new Telegram bot:
1. start a chat with BotFather;
2. type /newbot, select a name (to be shown in chats) and handle for your bot;
3. note the bot token to access HTTP API - a long string with a colon in the middle (later referred to as <token>);
4. optionally /setdescription and /setuserpic.
Add the bot to the chat/channel and note its id:
1. add the bot to a new or existing chat or group - this is where your bot will send notifications to;
2. go to https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/getUpdates (replace <token> with your token);
3. within the chat part, find and note the id field - a positive or negative number (later referred to as <chat_id>).
Programmatically send notifications:

Host Your Site Under Your Domain on IPFS

This is a step-by-step tutorial for hosting your website under your domain on IPFS, from zero, on a DigitalOcean Ubuntu 16.04.3 x64 Droplet (i am using the $10 variant with 2GB RAM).

Install IPFS

Log in as root.

First, make sure the system is up to date, and install tar and wget:

1. Clone your fork:

git clone git@github.com:YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-FORKED-REPO.git

2. Add remote from original repository in your forked repository:

cd into/cloned/fork-repo
git remote add upstream git://github.com/ORIGINAL-DEV-USERNAME/REPO-YOU-FORKED-FROM.git
git fetch upstream
