I am a bit dissatisfied with the use of the Tragedy of the commons to represent issues with free and open source software development. It is not an abstract resource that can be depleted when overused. It is not magically maintained if left alone.

It is based on the work of people, and we should not erase those people.

Unfortunately (and it is by design), most of the licences and the vocabulary around it are focused on the software’s user. After all, they work by reducing the creator’s right to empower the user.

As examples of this vocabulary, we have the distinction between “free as in beer” and “free as in speech” to show that the “free” word in “free software” has more to do with freedom and people’s rights to use, study, modify and share a program, than its actual price. Although, in practice, the overwhelming majority of FOSS will not cost you anything.

Keeping track of your work hours will give you an insight about the amount of work you get done in a specific time frame.

Xonsh is a cross-platform, Python-powered, Unix shell language and command prompt designed for the use of experts and novices alike.

The Xonsh language is a Python 3.4+ superset and it features additional shell primitives that make it familiar to working from IPython and Bash.

Xonsh is easily scriptable and it allows you to mix both command prompt and python syntax coupled with a rich standard library, man-page completion, typed variables, and syntax highlighting, among other features.

Xonsh is significantly different from other shell tools as can be seen in comparison to other command prompts like Bash, zsh, fish, IPython, and plumbum.

Xonsh has certain requirements to run including Python v3.4+, PLY, and prompt-toolkit.

I don't know which shell tools and command prompt you enjoy using the most but Xonsh seems to have won the hearts of many users for reasons experts celebrate over.

Features:

• Cross-platform support for Linux and Mac
• Automation (so there's no need to remember to click "backup")
• Point-in-time recovery (or something close) so if you accidentally delete a file but don't notice until later, it's still recoverable
• Low cost
• Replicated data store for backup sets, so data exists in more than one place (i.e., not just backing up to a local USB drive)
• Encryption in case the backup files fall into the wrong hands
