Kind of my extended memory with thoughts mostly on Linux and related technologies. You might also find some other stuff, a bit of SF, astronomy as well as old (quantum) chemistry posts.

How to find the line not starting with "X" in Vim
I don't know why but most of Vim's search examples say nothing about how to find the line not starting with string "X". Finally, I found how to do this. I.e. following line find anything not started from del:
^[^d][^e][^l].*
For people not advance in regex. The consecutive signs means:
^ - a line starting with
[^d] - character other than d;
[^e] - character other than e;
[^l] - character other than l;
.* - any string (any character repeated any times).
