The eternal annoyance of setting up a new computer without easy access to the old one

The eternal annoyance of setting up a new computer without easy access to the old one:
how often you go "what's the fucking hex editor that I use? I can't remember, and I just think of it as 'the hex editor'"
-
I think it was HxD but wow, ImHex looks awesome:

@foone You should write a list of all your go-to software in a notebook. Or I guess print it out if you prefer.
-
*sigh* it has been ZERO DAYS since I was asked to agree or accept the GPL

@Novyx I really should! which is the kind of thing you really only think of after you have to set up a new computer without the old one

@foone you are going to love the pattern scripting thing. it's *so* good. like, "I wrote a PE parser in it on day 1 of using the tool" level of capable and well-enough-documented.

@gsuberland I'm sure!
unfortunately I'm currently stuck on a laptop with too high a DPI display to use this. but I'm definitely coming back to imhex!

@4c31 It's one of my pet peeves: the GPL isn't that kind of license. It's not a EULA, you don't have to agree or accept it. It only affects you if you choose to redistribute it, in which case you just have to follow it, it doesn't matter if you "accept" or "agree" with it. Your legal rights are the same.

I didn't even make it past one day!

@foone I very much like ImHex but can't remember what issues got me to go back to Hex Workshop

accidentally misthreaded this one:

trying to bring up my Death Generator workflow on a new computer really does make me realize how many tiny little tools I use. I've been working on this one game for like 4 hours today, and about 3 of that was installing various things
-
well and maybe a half hour of recoding something because that was easier than going upstairs to get it
-
and I keep wanting to rant like my university math teacher.
To paraphrase him heavily, any system without yt-dlp installed on it shouldn't be considered bootable!

@eniko god yeah. so often I'm like "I know I have a PSX file extractor, but... what the fuck was it called? I don't know what to search for!"
with at least one program I renamed it in my folder just so I would have a SLIGHT chance of remembering wtf it was

@foone
knee driven development -
I was so close to being mad, but finally some sense.
