  --nuke  Delete all of the archives stored.  To protect against accidental
          data loss, tarsnap will ask you to type the text "No Tomorrow"
          when using the --nuke command.

Re:Keyboard lets people type so fast it’s banned from typing competitions on Thursday January 06, 2022 @03:05PM (#29829218)

When I learnt to touch type I switched to Dvorak at the same time. I liked the idea of improved efficiency but whenever I had to use someone else's computer or they needed to use mine it was too much hassle. Once I'd relearned to touch type with Qwerty life was so much easier. Also hjkl with Vim using Dvorak was just too hard to get my brain around
